I'm moving out of state in a year and going to college, how do I get in-state tuition?

Question

It's not a neighboring state that I'm moving to, it's across the country. My aunt lives there, and I'll be living with her while I go to college. My question is, how can I get in-state tuition? Can I just have some mail sent to her house? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I recently spoke to a counselor about this and was told you need to become a resident of that state. If you don't, you will need to pay non-resident fees =(

The amount of time you have to live in a state before you become a resident depends on where you are going to school. Every state has different laws.

Good luck =)

Hi.

I am Lynne and i saw your question about needing a loan,In the internet they are a lot of scams out there.I decided to answer your question to prevent you being scammed. I got a loan of $55,000 from an agency online and i was lucky not be scammed. Contact them at emails:globaly_aquinted_org@rocketmail.c... [e-mail] interest rate of 0.2% is simply great.they use a yahoo email account on our request because its makes contacting them easier.

Sincerely,

Lynne Renee.

Each state has different laws regarding residency requirements but each has a few universal things.  

1.  You can't simply list someones mailing address and expect that to get you the cheaper rate.  Schools are smarter than that and its been tried (and failed) a million times before.

2. Simply living in a state does not make you a legal resident to get instate tuition.  You have to prove "intent" meaning you plan on staying once you graduate.  You have to be self supporting and financially independent and most states have a minimum age requirement.  HINT: if you are living with your Aunt and not working full time you are not financially independent.  If you move to a different state simply to attend college, you will ALWAYS be charged out of state tuition.  

3.  They won't reduce your tuition to instate after you have lived there a year because you can not count your time you are enrolled in college towards residency.  (Most schools require a year or more of living in the state to be a resident as well as all of the above requirements as well.)  

As you can see, if you are a kid just graduating from high school things are pretty bleak for you. You WILL pay out of state tuition if you move to your aunts for the entire time you are a college student.  Just so you know.

Hope it helps.
