<p>In state tuition is reserved for the residents of a specific state. There are few exceptions to this rule. For students under the age of 24, your place of residency is where your PARENTS reside, regardless of how you earn your living, whose taxes you are declared on, or where you live. Typically, your family must reside in a state for one year at least prior to enrollment in college to be considered in state residents. However, it would have to be the parents and student residing in the state, not just the student. I’m not sure how this works for those who are not citizens. Perhaps someone with more information can post to this specific question.</p>
