<p>I'm totally getting ahead of myself, since I haven't even been accepted (or rejected for that matter) from UMich, but after your freshman year, if you move to the state of Michigan (I have family there and would do so for in-state tuition, which is a bargain), would this make you eligible for in-state tuition? Are they really strict about this? My family is thinking about moving next year and Michigan is a strong possibility. But if they move somewhere else and I change my address to my relatives' in Michigan but only live there for part of the summer(I don't want to cheat the system and put an address down where I'm never going to live), would they send people to the house and check if I live there and stuff?</p>
<p>I have that same exact question as well. I have relatives there that I would potentially stay with during the summer or the school year and whatnot, but I don't know if the in-state tuitions apply just bc it's not where I'm permanently residing. But yeah I'd love to get a reply just as much as you would.</p>
<p>I do not know the intricacies of becoming a "Michigan resident" but I know this; The University of Michigan is one of the toughest state universities when it comes to granting that much-wanted resident status. I suggest you ask people in-the-know, but I can tell you that your family moving to Michigan will not give you immediate resident status.</p>
<p>The Residency folks in the registrars office have a policy that runs about 2-pages long--I know I've sent the thing lock stock and barrel up to Lansing to answer a question. I'm pretty sure that's findable online.</p>
<p>Yeah, they're tough.</p>
