@hapworth it is not “easy”. I am not sure where the poster got the impression it is. In the state of Texas you have to prove employment too. In this instance FSU offered in state tuition to my OOS student if we agree to study abroad for the first year, then the following three years would be given in state tuition rates. Other schools offer instate tuition rates as a form of financial aid. I would dismiss the notion that establishing residency in order to qualify for in state tuition is “easy”.
