The full time student is 22 years old.   He made $25,000 at the college working a side job.   His parents provide more than 1/2 of his support.   Plus they pay for his college tuition.

Did the student pay more than 50% of his support, including room, board and college costs?

Some parents can claim college student, and some cannot. here is a work sheet to fill out. Don't forget any student loans count as student provided.
