After the first year, could I rent an apartment and be considered an in state resident?

Nope. Because you’d be living here for academic reasons, and

Generally speaking, a student needs to live in Pennsylvania for non-academic reasons for a year prior to enrollment to be considered a resident for tuition purposes.

You don’t live in-state; Penn State is a public university whose first obligation is to the in-state residents; they don’t really subsidize the education of out-of-state students.
