Out of State Tuition...

I do not know any states that make residency easy for undergrads. In order to get state residency, your parents often have to move there and in many states file tax forms there. It is easier if you are a grad student or over 24 as you are no longer dependent on your parents’ address. Still, you have to have a primary reason for being in the state other than being a student, difficult to establish when you are a full time student. My D is going through this process for when she goes to medical school. THough she has gone to college in that state for 3, years --it will be 4 before she is done, that alone will not be a basis for her to get state residency for tuition purposes.



So if you wanted a degree out of state and moved on your own but were under 24 you are not independent??? That really makes no sense to me.
