Going down the home stretch, I still have not yet made my mind up on where I will end up later this year! I wanted to know how exactly does a student like me who is not a state resident of NY gained "in state" status in New York?(I know there is a possibility but wanted to be sure that it has worked previously) I am accepted to SUNY Downstate and really want to go there if there is a way to obtain in state tuition after a year or two, this really would tip my decision toward SUNY Downstate rather than RUSH, my other choice and great school but too expensive....

thanks for your input and assistance!

Live in NYC in non-campus housing (get your own apt) for a year and that should do it. I'm currently an undergrad (in the BA-MD program with Downstate, actually) and my roommate whom I share an apartment is from Jersey, and it took him a year to establish NY residency and start paying resident tuition at CUNY Brooklyn College.
