Can you qualify for in state tuition eventually?

I was wondering if any out of state students had experience gaining residency for tuition after their first or second year, and how difficult it was (if even possible) to do so? I was under the impression that this was possible after a year... But then came across some people saying that you cannot be a full time student the prior year. Has anyone deferred admission for a year just to qualify for in-state tuition? Thanks for your input!

Different states have different rules. And state schools, at least in NY with SUNY, have general info for the SUNY system, but then each school can have different requirements on top. So where are we talkin?

I'm looking for information on state schools in Oregon (OSU), Washington (WSU), and Colorado (UC Denver).

For Washington, I'm pretty sure if you start out paying out-of-state tuition, you will end up paying 4 years of out-of-state tuition, one of the reason that I decided against UW even though I liked their program a lot.

Yikes! What if you're an out of state student who transfer to UW for undergrad. After your undergrad will you be considered in-state for pharmacy school?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

As far as I know, one of the questions on the application for in-state tuition is "Are you in this state for any other reason other than your education?" If you answer no, you will not qualify for in state tuition for the duration of your education there.

I am sure that each state is different, but I know that it is like that where I live.

The best thing to do is to call up your schools. I'm sure it varies.

What made you think that? I think ur misinformed. I interviewed at WSU and talked to the current students. They said u pay out of state fees the first year, and then u can apply for in state tuition. It also says it on their website. I'm pretty sure its the same for UW as well because state law allows it. Don't take my word as gold but check the schools websites then u will see I'm right.

If my understanding is correct, u just need to live in Washington for a year, get state drivers license or ID, and open local bank account, its enough to apply for in state tuition as said by current student there. U can actually apply for it after only like 7-10 months living there for next year.

You might be able to get a PO Box, have your mail sent there..... and have that forwarded to where you really are. =)

A PO box is not enough to gain residency, sorry, that is horrible advice. A PO box is not a residence and there are often questionnaires which go much further than "what's your address".

Oregon State is very strict and out of state students must not attend classes for a year before residency can be established. I attend OSU and know that there are P1's who are paying out of state, and they have told me they will be for the full 4 years.

WSU allows 2nd year residency as long as the right efforts have been made (driver's license, registered to vote, rent receipts, etc)

I have no clue about UW, each school is different.
