That... No.
In New Hampshire, Republicans are pushing to end rules that allow same-day voter registration in the state, which has often provided key swing votes for candidates from all parties in the state. State GOP lawmakers are also proposing new limits on students, including a bill that would allow them to vote in college towns only if they or their parents had established permanent residency in the state.
Some GOP lawmakers in New Hampshire have billed the measures as an attempt to crack down on voter fraud
in the state--but recent remarks from the newly elected GOP state House speaker have suggested otherwise.
In a recent speech to a tea party group in the state, House Speaker William O'Brien described college voters as "foolish." "Voting as a liberal. That's what kids do," he said, in remarks that were videotaped by a state Democratic Party staffer and posted on YouTube. Students, he said, lack "life experience" and "just vote their feelings."

I repeat what I said above: That... no. You, just no. I'm 18, I get to vote, fuck you. Would this affect me? No, since I go to college where my parents are permanent residents and I don't live in New Hampshire and apparently never will now. But that sure as fuck is not the point here. And even though yes, colleges tend to be liberal, there are a whole lot of conservatives I know here.
And you do not get my voting rights. You. Do. Not.
