The Financial aid person at the interview told me they never grant it, and Admissions people told me they have never seen anyone receive it. I've heard there are loopholes from a student - that being the only ways to get it is if you get married to a Hoosier or buy a house. In my opinion, those are two things I find kinda extreme to get instate tuition.
Tuition alone is 341k at Indiana for OOS. Kinda ridiculous in my opinion for a state school. However, it's an Amazing school and I wish they offered instate tuition for OOS people after a year or two.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California- so it made accepting my offer to USC a lot easier. All the talk about how expensive USC is, it's actually 351k in regards to tuition alone. That's right, only 10k more than Indiana's 341k OOS tuition. That's how much OOS is at Indiana when looking at tuition alone. That pretty insane in regards to costing nearly as much as an expensive private school.
I'll gladly take the hit for the cost of living in LA, I am happy to return home.
