hey peeps, does U of Minn provide resident tuition rates after the 1st year?

I don't believe so

I'm willing to wager few public schools (if any) will grant their students in-state residency if the sole purpose of their being in said state is to attend school.

Unfortunately no (99% sure). OOS is very expensive there.

Just as, and often even more, expensive than attending a large private school. It'd be cheaper by like $20k a year to go to Case. Then again, Cleveland vs. Minneapolis... D:

Well, since you're from Toronto, it depends on how much you like your parents.

If you don't want them to visit you all the time, go to Minny.

OP: I'm sure they don't give in-state after 1st year. They make you sign an agreement before you start saying that you'll pay OOS tuition for all 4 years. Seems like only Buffalo would allow in-state tuition after 1st year, which is useless to us New York folks, since we already have in-state tuition. But yeah, the school of dentistry is respectable, but Buffalo isn't a desirable to live in....

The distance is negligible for me. For example, I'd rather move to Vancouver, all the way on the west coast, than 500 km south to Cleveland. The distance is much greater in a physical sense, but in an emotional sense it is much closer.

Also, I'd rather live in Minneapolis than Cleveland just because of the city itself and the quality of life. The extra few hundred miles or whatever is not a big deal. It's like an extra hundred bucks per plane ticket. No biggie.

Besides, while I have a home in Toronto, my parents live in Shanghai, haha. So it's a moot point either way. 😳 I guess I was just trying to explain my rationale behind where I would be more comfortable going.

When it comes down to it though, I'm probably just going to end up going where it's cheapest (school + living costs combined).

I've heard of folks here in Canada who literally move to Alberta and work there for a year just to obtain in-province status for Alberta and Manitoba medical and dental schools. Allows them to get preference in admissions and pay far less than they would otherwise.

Kind of scary the lengths people will go to get that extra edge. 😵

I know of a guy who got into McGill dental school as an in-province when he never lived in Quebec. His parents bought a house in Montreal, and that was good enough for them to grant in-province.

Do you think MN would give residency to a person that lived there for 20+ years and out of state for the most recent 5+ years if said person planned on staying in MN when they were done with school?

I doubt they would give you in-state tuition unless you are a legal resident, but they may look favorably upon your application. I know they like people who want to go there, so I would definitely let them know this information.
