Hey /trv/.

I have a question regarding residency in the United States. I'm off to college next year, and I have an immense urge to get the fuck out of Indiana, preferably out of the Midwest as a whole (Chicago excluded, might go to Northwestern). However, this is a bit of a problem if I wish to go to a public school outside of Indiana. Out-of-state tuition sucks balls. How does residency work, exactly? Specifically, if I went to college somewhere for a year, would I gain residency of that state and be able to pay residence tuition for my next three years? Does it vary state-to-state? Any info is much appreciated.

Indiana: corn corn corn corn corn corn corn corn.

IIRC, OP, what you're talking about is based on the prior year's residence. Call your college and ask to make sure though.

Ann Arbor up in Michigan is a sweet-ass town with a Northeast coast feel, and plenty of hippies to give a west coast feel too.
You have Michigan in Ann Arbor, and it's cheaper, more slutty cousin Eastern Michigan University in it's neighboring town Ypsilanti. Better than the rest of the midwest.

You have to LIVE in the state you go to, as in buying a home or renting an apartment. The time required for residency varies from state to state, but it usually hovers around 12 months.

Also, many colleges have agreements in place where out-of-staters trying to move permanently can take up to however many credit hours at in-state prices while they're establishing residency. However, it's usually not enough to qualify as a full-time student, and therefore not enough to qualify for financial aid.

And ALSO, some states will completely cover all of your college expenses if you move to them from out-of-state. Look it up.

Yes, I agree, but that doesn't really solve my problem of out-of-state tuition, seeing as how it'd still be about a 20,000 dollar difference.

IIRC? What's that, exactly? Google isn't really helping.

Yeah, that's what I thought, in respects to the "living" definition. Ergh.

However, about this moving to some school who will pay for my shit: abuhwha? I have to say, I spend a shitload of time looking at colleges and all-related college things, and I have never heard of this. Examples, or?
