Out of State Tuition...

The standard I have heard used is that if you are in the state ONLY for the purposes of attending school there, then you’re not a state resident. That would address the “second bachelors” or graduate degree question.

U-Michigan is very hardcore about residency. They recently relaxed one rule for married couples but they’re still tough.

Another reason residency fraud is bad is that at some institutions, admissions is tougher/different for out of state students. So you’re not just gaming the system to pay less, you’re putting yourself in a different applicant pool and therefore also (possibly) gaining admission fraudulently.
