I've spent my AS year studying in a college in the United Kingdom, but my parents are expatriates working in Saudi Arabia. We are British citizens and we do own a house in the United Kingdom in which we have lived prior to coming to Saudi Arabia.
However I'm considering spending the last 6 months of my A2 year (I finish A2 June 2014) in Saudi Arabia, and applying to University in the United Kingdom next year after I finish A2 (taking a Gap year).
My question is: Will I be considered a home student when I apply to University?
What I got from the wikipedia page is that I must have been 'ordinarily resident' in the United Kingdom for the three years before I apply to University. But from the Cambridge University fee status page (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/...ts/status.html), I learnt that 'ordinarily resident' also includes those temporarily working or studying outside of the United Kingdom. I've lived in Saudi Arabia from November 2007 to September 2012.
So again, Will I be considered a home student or Overseas student? Thank you for your time, and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

This is a pretty non-standard question to be honest. I'm going to move this over to the Ask Student Finance England forum, so that their rep can give you a definitive answer (though given the time of year, you may have to wait a few days for an answer)
