<p>britbrat, I have a daughter who graduated from the Univ. of CO at Boulder about 8 years ago and another who is entering in the fall. We checked & rechecked and we were NOT able to establish in-state tuition status. My neighbor’s son is now a junior, and I checked with her. Her answer is “no”…they STILL pay out of state tuition. I would LOVE to hear where you learned about qualifying for residency status!!! That would be a HUGE money savings!!!</p>
