<p>I've read that freshman of UC-Berkley are able to become residents of California after a years time there and pay in-state tuition for their final 3 yrs. UVM is a public university. Can an out-of-stater become a resident of Vermont and pay in-state tuition?
Also, I doubt it, but is UPENN a public university...haha, everyone accepted applicant would become a resident of Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>UPENN is private.</p>
<p>UPenn is private; also you're considered a resident of any state if you have a permanent residence and pay taxes in that state. You can't be a "citizen" of VT, CA, PA, or any other state, you're a citizen of the US and a resident of a state.</p>
<p>so can an out-of-stater pay in-state tuition at UVM after living there for a certain period of time?</p>
<p>yes you can, but you have to have an actual residence, ie not a college dormitory.</p>
<p>so would off campus apartments in Burlington count? Many upperclassman live off campus during their Junior and Senior years.</p>
<p>It is very difficult, you have to prove you are no longer financially dependent on your parents. You have to file your taxes as a VT resident, you have to show your own legitimate income that can support your living expenses...
If you own a car it should be registered in VT. The insurance on our daughter's car is $300. we looked into registering it in VT but the insurance quotes were for $1,800. </p>
<p>We own property in VT, if I legally separate from my husband and move to VT, then I could get in-state tuition for my daughter, (after a year). We have tried other ways (especially since we have a VT property and she could live there) but the state makes it very difficult. Go to the state website and look at the residency requirements. If the student is married and the couple lives in VT it is actually a quicker way to get in-state tuition.</p>
