Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew if it is easy to obtain residency in NYC? Any info will help, like how long it takes, what you need to do, if you go to D-school in NYC are you a resident after the first year etc. Thanks guys!

I'm confused. Are you talking about residency for tuition purposes...because both schools in NYC are private, so that doesn't matter.

i'm with buckeyedds---i thought both NYU and Columbia were private so everyone is paying the same tuition regardless of whether they are NY residents or not.

Yes, NY state residency after one year here. They make it very easy for you to obtain residency.

I remember my friend who went to Buffalo had to go to the DMV the day she moved into her apartment to register her car and get a NY state license so she'd have NY residency status by that time the following year.

Wow, that's good to know, I guess if people know of any other easy states it might be good knowledge to have...

It's less an issue of the state and more of the school. Legally, you have to intend to live there permanently. This means you open a bank account there, register your car, purchase a home if possible, get a driver's license there, work there and pay their state tax, etc. This is pretty much true for every state, but some schools may decide to be difficult...

Technically though, if you're going to live there for more four years plus, wouldnt you need to invest in real estate? Meaning if you take your car, you would register it, and so on...and i mean technically you dont know where you're going to live permanently, you're in dental school, you dont know what comes after that...i'm ******ed, i'll get the hang of this one day...lol😛

If you own real estate there, and you've owned it for at least one year, you're good to go.

If you're looking to purchase real estate, then it's a good way to save money in the long term. Just don't go to school in NYC, LA, or SF. And you may have to sell it off after 4 yrs, which is good cuz there are plenty of great mortgage deals for short term loans.
