<p>Hum, Susan. Are you in law school yet? Domicile = intent to remain indefinitely. Being there for only a summer will raise red flags, and he'll have a lot of explaining to do. I'm sorry - but I just cannot agree with you on that. They will want to know how long he's been living there, he must sign that it's not just for educational purposes (which is tough - don't forget, he'll have to pass the bar exam, and a rigorous character check will be done), and he'll have to demonstrate such things as the presence of a job and social networks. If his parents are paying, he'll have a rough time proving domicile. Hence why I said he should be domiciled there for a while beforehand - as someone who lives there for several years will undergo less scrutiny.</p>
<p>It's pretty obvious that simply living there for a year does not confer domicile for the purposes of in-state tuition and admissions advantages. Residency does not equal domicile! Hello, basic first year law!</p>
