Each state is a little different in its requirements. Simply living in off-campus housing is not going to count, you need to establish residency by paying taxes, licensing a car, getting a driver's license, registering to vote, or other things that cause you to be a "permanent" resident of the state. Usually you have to live in a place for a period of time, and many universities will not consider you a resident of the state for tuition purposes unless you live there for that period of time BEFORE you start school there and then you have to prove that you've lived there by showing some kind of documentation (voter registration card, etc.). Again, check with your state of choice and find out what the legal requirements are so that you can do this right the first time. You DON'T want to try to "fudge" on this, because it will come back and bite you later on. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>High school teacher for 20 years...
