In the very vast majority of cases, you cannot establish instate residency WHILE enrolled in college.

When my son was a graduate student at a state university, he was asked to get a driver’s license in that state immediately to establish residency, even though he was a research assistant and wasn’t paying tuition. His department wanted him to do this so that the research grant that sponsored his assistantship would be able to pay his tuition at in-state rates.

I think he was only considered out-of-state during his first year.
