That's not even close to true.
Most public schools don't have residency requirements. The ones that do normally have waivers that are easy to get.
I've also never heard of a school with a residency requirement for sophomores.
- RepressedEmu 9y agoRandom googling turns up 87 colleges that have residency requirements[1]. So you're right that it isn't "most" but it is also not super rare. I'm just saying its a sneaky way for colleges to bump up costs. Most college students won't go through the work to get a waiver and will just go with the flow. Its like the difference between opt-in and opt-out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/freshman-residency-rules-sometimes-force-students-to-pay-prohibitive-costs/2015/09/29/4693aed6-63b5-11e5-b38e-06883aacba64_story.html?utm_term=.e2097e0e14c2 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/freshman-resi...
- learc83 9y agoThe article you posted says that "the vast majority" of those 87 schools are private. I said most public schools. I don't really care about the cost of private schools just like I don't care about the cost of private boarding high schools.
