Make sure you read the requirements for establishing instate residency for tuition purposes VERY carefully. Many states will not permit you to establish instate residency for tuition status while you are enrolled as a student. Many states will consider the residency of your parents while you are an undergrad…period.
In some states, they are more lenient with community colleges for instate residency for tuition purposes than they are for their four year universities. You could find that you can easily establish instate residency for that community college, but NOT for the four year to complete your degree. @“aunt bea” can explain CA, for example.
In some states, you won’t even be eligible for instate tuition status at a community college unless your parents move here too…and many have the requirement that your family reside there for at least 12 months BEFORE you enroll in college.
And then there are some where you would more easily be able to establish instate tuition residency status. @twoinanddone can you elaborate because I think you know some of those places.
Please. Please read the details in each state on establishing residency for instate tuition purposes. It’s not as easy as folks want it to sound in most places.
