chanuka - Sefardic Boy Dorming on Chanukah

A boy of Sefardic descent who is in the Dorm of a Yeshiva, does he light himself or does he rely on his parents lighting?

Is there a machlokes among the Sefardic Poskim themselves of what to do?

If they rely on parents then:

Does any one have a real experience with this question and what did they or the Sefardic student involve do ( I have a feeling they would light without a Bracha just not to seem like an outcast,at least if they where in Ashkenazi Yeshiva)?

Do different time Zones student in America versus parents in Israel or vice versa make a difference??
