Live in one state, go to school in another - how does it affect residency considerations afterwards?

You aren’t ‘technically’ a Minn resident, you are actually one. You live in MN, you vote in MN, you register your car in MN, you pay taxes in MN (even if you work in Wis, you pay non-resident in WI. If you went to school in New Mexico for those two years, you’d still be a Minn resident.

WI and MN happen to have tuition reciprocity, so this is not an unusual situation at all. I lived and worked in Minn for 5 years and had two co-workers who lived in Wisc and drove the 50 miles every day to the office. They were Wis residents for all purposes, their children were Wis residents, if they wanted to go to college in Minn they’d have to apply through the reciprocity agreement for the MN rate.
