<p>After contacting the office of admissions, I’ve learned of the new changes for establishing residency for UT beginning august 2010. One of the two changes is that students can no longer own just a piece of land to meet the domicile requirement. A student must own a piece of real estate in which he or she lives i.e. a house, condo, etc. The other change is that a student must be able to show proof that he or she owns and operates a functional business in Texas, or something along those lines.
This news is very unsettling for me seeing as how I was just going to purchase a piece of land. Now, I am going to have to find a job in Austin and work for 12 months during my first year. The only upside is that the university deems “meaningful employment” as 8-10 hours of work per week. So, I am going to have to move to Austin atleast by late July or early august to begin employment.
My question is: Does any have any non university affiliated job openings for someone like myself?
Also, does anyone have an apartment they would be willing to sublet to me for as little as a month before the fall semester?
Any advice, help, or suggestions is very much appreciated. Thanks.</p>
