In response to Madison85’s helpful comments… I completed a PhD in at UWMadison, many years ago. I never established residency in the state, which would have required my dropping out of school (or completing school) and working for a year in Wisconsin. But I always paid tuition at an IN-state rate, because while enrolled in my program I was either paid as a TA or on fellowship. Thus I continued to vote absentee in California but for tuition purposes I was treated as an in-stater. This isn’t just a matter of university policy but is often set by the states.
