<p>I am us citizen

attended high school in NY

<p>I’m guessing…but I would guess not. In the vast majority of cases, the residency of an undergrad student is where his PARENTS live. If, for example, you were a boarding school student and had graduated high school in NY state, it would not matter at all…because your real permanent residency is that of your parents. I’m going to guess that even though YOU have lived here, that your residency for tuition purposes will still be that of your parents.</p>

<p>BUT I could be wrong. I’m hoping someone else will weigh in.</p>

<p>You need to check with the specific schools to which you apply. Each may have different residency requirements.</p>

<p>There are usually exceptions for students who graduated from in-state high schools. SUNY appears to have such a rule.</p>

<p>

@SUNY

Note: Non-resident students may be eligible for resident tuition if they have graduated from a New York high school or received a NYS GED within 5 years of application to SUNY. See below for details under exceptions to the Domicile Rule.</p>

<p>Non-resident students, including undocumented students, who attend for at least two years and graduate from a New York high school may be eligible for resident tuition. See the campus Student Accounts Office (Bursar) for details and to apply for resident tuition.

<p>Great news for the OP!!!</p>

<p>Sybbie, just a quick question…if the student attended a residential boarding/prep school in NY State, would this still apply?</p>
