I come from a state that doesn't have a dental school, and without that luxury I could end up spending a bundle on tuition for four years. I know that Ohio state offers in state tuition to out-of-staters after the first year of dental school. Are there any other state schools that offer the same in state status after a year? Specifically I wonder about Virginia Commonwealth, the University of Louisville, and the University of Maryland. Do these or any other schools offer the much needed tuition discount?

to my knowledge once you lived in a state for a year you are eligble to recieve in state tution at any state school. as far as undergrad the problem comes when you live on campus i think that a stipulatian preventing you from being considered a state resident. If you live off campus(as im sure you will in dental school) you will have utility bills that will support your residency. to get to the point i have been told by a student at louisville that you can get in state tuition after your first year but you must make them give it to you.
Uconn offers in-state tuition for people from other states. It's an excellent school...I heard the class of 2003 scored #2 on part I of the national boards and the previous year also scored very high. You take classes with the medical students and they tend to stress on specialty. With only 40 students in a class you tend to recieve the best education. Some state schools don't care whether you declare residency or not...you still have to pay out-state tuition even after first year....ucla and ucsf are two examples.
from what i know after having talked to "residency classification officers" one has to be not only physically present in the state but also be there for a primary purpose other than just education. Preponderence of evidence for in state classification includes full time employment in that state for a year or parental ties.
