What schools offer in-state tuition to out of staters after a year?

Does this come out to be cheaper than private schools, in general?
 
I know USF lets you do this. I forget the exact numbers but I think COA goes from 55k down to 30ish. Choosing them would have been significantly cheaper than my IS school, OHSU at 57k per year. 👎
 
U Cincinnati gives you in-state status after a year (as do the other public Ohio schools, I would imagine)
 
The New York Public schools do this (the SUNY's). Their tuition for OOS is cheaper than most private school's for year one and is considerably less from years 2-4.
 
All the Texas State Schools (meaning not Baylor) have a loophole where if the school gives you a $1000 or greater merit scholarship you can get IS tuition from year one. Texas schools can accept 10% of their classes OOS and can only give the loophole scholarship to 5% of the class- so assuming they have the maximum number of OOS students possible only 50% get the scholarship loophole and the others pay OOS tuiton.

I got this scholarship and my acceptance letter said the scholarship was guarenteed for all 4 years as long as I was in good academic standing.

Yup. Ohio grants in-state residency after one year if you meet some pretty basic requirements. So add University of Toledo and Ohio State to that list along with Cincinatti and whatever the other schools are.
 
You can also get IS tuition at all of the University of California schools and the University of Utah after the first year. All of the Ohio public schools too.

IS tuition for California residents is free. Do OOS get the same treatment when they become IS after a year?
 
Although you can't establish residency at all, the University of Minnesota does waive the oos portion of tuition for about 25 students from each class. If you get it, it's automatically renewed every year. Too bad the tuition is still about 28 grand a year👎

haha, tuition is technically free but you're forgetting about the $25,000 in fees per year. I imagine if you gained residency they would just waive the extra ~$13,000/year in tuition and you would still be liable for the fees portion.

somehow i'm finding this hard to believe. does this mean that, after MS1, none of the UCs collect tuition money from ANY students? isn't that a huge loss for them?

I don't find it hard to believe. It's a matter of semantics. They have simply replaced the word "tuition" with the word "fees." Look at the total budget ... it's similar to many if not most other schools.

I don't know about the gaining residency part though, that is something veaselhaufen mentioned.

edit: here is something I found about gaining residency. It looks like you can petition but it's nowhere close to automatic.

$25,000 in fees? Wow...For that much, they better include great amenities like an indoor spa, a sauna, indoor golf course.
 
I think this is based on state policy. For example, all states schools in New York, TX, Ohio give instate tuition after one year. Also, UTSW gives instate tuition to OOS for all 4 yrs. Im not sure about FL schools though. Usually, states that have an abundance of physicians are less inclined to give instate tuition(CA and FL).
 
I'm pretty sure UCONN does as well.
