Hi guys!
I’m a rising 3rd year DO student, and my school is sending me out of state for third year rotations quite against my will. I’m trying to figure out what to do about my in-state residency.
I am absolutely NOT staying in my third year rotation state for my fourth year, so this is definitely a temporary move.
I’m getting out-of-state tuition right now for the DO program, but I’m also getting a MPH, and since I started that after I moved to where I am now, I’m currently getting in-state tuition for that. The MPH tuition is going to be really unaffordable really fast if I lose my in-state residency, so I would like to keep my residence in this state.
I also paid what feels like a million dollars (more like $800+) in fees to sort out my car registration when I moved here, so I’m not too fond of the thought of paying initial state registration fees this year, next year, and likely the year after that, not to mention the hassle of constantly changing my car insurance.
My current apartment is the address on my driver’s license, which is also where my car is registered, and obviously, I’m about to lose my current apartment. I know it’s legal to keep an address that you don’t actually live at as a student since I’ve got lots of med school friends with out of state driver’s licenses who never switched over despite living here for two years now, but they have family living at their driver’s license addresses. I have no family living in this state, unfortunately.
I know this is a problem for fourth year students that spend most of the year living in sublets or hotels for auditions, too, so I would appreciate help/advice from anyone who’s lost their permanent address and what they did about it.
