On my last thread, everyone told me i cant get instate tution for my situation:

“Im from NY and I want to go to university of central florida but the outstate tuition and instate tuition is vastly different. I can’t afford the outside tuition and I am curious what is needed for instate. My grandma is moving to Tampa florida next month and I will move with her if anything is possible. I would stay they for a year and go to a community college there for one year than transfer also. Just please tell me if its possible to recieve instate tuition. Thanks”

except one of the members (redslash) from here gave me a good reply:

"What that means is, your strategy to pay instate is:

June: move to Tampa, live with Grandma, claim that as your current address, get a drivers license, register to vote, etc. Enroll in community college (paying out of state tuition for that).

January-ish: Apply to UCF. Claim in-state status.

April (or whenever): when your family back home claims their dependents, they CANNOT claim you.

August: Attend your first classes at UCF, hopefully by now paying in-state."

I am thinking about doing this and I just wanted to know if this is a good plan to do cause paying almost 19 thousand for going here over florida residents with 4 is a huge difference.
