Hi Everyone,

I currently live in Madison, and I really enjoy the area. I have one young child, who will not be ready for college for a number of years. However, I think University of Wisconsin is just fantastic. Unfortunately, there is a reasonable chance I have to move for work over the next year out of state.

I was wondering what qualifies for a student to be in state in WI (for admissions and tuition)? Born in WI? Would maintaining a residence in the state allow my child to maintain WI residency when applying to college (i.e UW?)? These may sound like basic questions, but I appreciate any insight.

Thanks!
