<p>No. Your are not a dependent, and you nor your Grandparents live there.</p>
<p>That question is actually very common.</p>
<p>In general, it is getting harder and harder to establish residency in a state where you don’t, you know, actually reside. Universities and states are strapped for cash. They have no incentive to be generous with resident tuition.</p>
<p>In general, most public universities consider an undergraduate under the age of 24 to be a resident of the state where his or her custodial parent resides unless the undergraduate has done one of the following things:</p>
<ol>
<li> married, or</li>
<li> served in the armed forces,</li>
<li> been legally emancipated in court.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can research the rules in Florida yourself. Google “Florida resident tuition.”</p>

Love the way you phrased that Sikorsky.</p>
