Do not assume that you will get instate residency simply because your parents no longer declare you on their taxes. That is not the acid test for most instate residency requirements. This is a VERY small piece of the what you really need to do to gain instate status for tuition purposes…assuming your parents LIVE in a different state.

Bottom line…do not assume you can gain instate residency in a state in which your family does not reside. Usually you cannot.
