It's almost impossible for out of state students to "get residency" and pay in state tuition rates. This is due to most states setting the age of majority for tuition classification only, to 25. Age of majority for voting and dying in wars is 18. Age of majority for drinking alcohol is 21. But tuition? Nah, you don't get that until you're 25, even if you're a resident of that state. So in effect, you only get the in state tuition for the state either of your parents live in.
- danieltillett 11y agoI am not sure why you are being down voted here. Assuming you are over 25 how long do you have to be resident in a state to be considered a resident for tuition purposes.
- mattstreet 11y agoThis screwed me over. I couldn't get any financial help because my parents wouldn't fill the FAFSA, it wasn't until the year I turned 25 that I could get any aid or loans. Now I'm a computer science professional pulling down a decent salary, the government lost out on about 7 years of taxes because of their policies.
