I though that was the requirement to deduct it as a home office, not
to have it be his place of business.
If a computer programmer uses his spare bedroom as his office, but
also lets friends sleep there, then he doesn't get a home office
deduction; but it's still his place of business.
- and - he has to be the one paying the full bill for the dorm. If

If someone rents an apartment with a roommate (and pays part of the
total rent), and uses part of it as a home office, I don't see that
the roommate paid some of the rent as preventing the home office
deduction.
