<p>So I have a question on residency in Delaware. I currently live and go to hs at a school in pa and i have a house in rehoboth, de. (I am a junior in hs) My mom has been living there for the past few months or so simply because she loves it at the beach. She is getting her delaware driver's license next week and registering/insuring her car in Delaware. Also she is registering to vote in de. She is filing her income taxes in de starting january first. I would love to go to Ud for college and i am aware it is much easier to get in there if your in state as opposed to out of state. Does anybody know if I can be considered an instate resident since my mom will have been a resident for over 12 months by the time I am to start college? Does anybody have any experience with this?</p>
<p>Here’s what the website says:

<p>unless your parents are divorced, and you have a document saying both parents have custody, then the short answer is no. The fact that you are not graduating from a Delaware high school will pretty much sink you for residency.</p>
<p>I think the way out is if you have one parent in DE who has joint custody, but you do not live with fulltime for school, then you can be considered in-state.</p>
<p>I see you are only a junior. I would move down to rehoboth with your mom for your last year of school. Cape Henlopen is actually a good school district, and you will get into UofD as an instate. Though it will be a culture shock after going to school in PA. ( it was for my daughter when we moved down here. )</p>
<p>yeah that’s what I’ve heard when it comes to that school. i would love to do that but my mom is making me finish out school up in pa. But maybe i can still get in-state. We’ll have to see :)</p>
