I am a resident of PA but currently live on my own in ohio. So I could switch residency to OH but there's only one ohio school. Osu but I loved it when I went. However PA has 2 schools temple and Pitt. So my question is what would give me the best chance. I also heard temple is in a crappy area so that also plays a factor. And I have little chance of getting into osu as an out of state.
My gpa is 3.67 and I'm a sophomore.

What school is cheapest as an in-state resident? Apply for residency in that state. That should be the deciding factor.

Same price about 66,000...

You need to either call the schools financial aid office or look up the information yourself: In many states, it is not difficult to become of a resident of that state. However, for college tuition purposes, there are often more strict guidelines. So you are currently a resident of PA, but live in OH. It probably won't be difficult to become a resident of OH. However, a university may require you go beyond getting a driver's license, living in the state for 6 months, "other easy requirements to pass," etc. The school could require you be living, working, and not taking classes in that state for 1-2 years. Usually, the most common and difficult hurdle to establishing residency for tuition purposes is 1-2 living in the state without taking classes ->gap years.

Some schools aren't that strict though. I remember UConn allowed most students in-state tuition after 1 yr at the school.

Those schools not listed are private and have no barrier in my residency. And I have looked up the requirements and could become a resident in 1 year before applying. I have to be living in, working in, paying my own bills ohio for 1 year which I am.
