<p>Our State Flagship sometimes allow OOS to pay in-state tuition in lieu of scholarship. Otherwise, how long do you have to live in Pennsylvania to qualify for in-state? Don’t go into debt. We were in the same situation 4 years ago ($31/yr difference between State Flagship and private first choice). We swallowed hard, made the sacrifice, and went first choice because it was a much better school and he would be able to graduate w/o debt.</p>
