<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I'm from Texas and I just got back from a Campus Day on Saturday, which was awesome. The only thing that is holding me back from being able to go to Michigan is the out of state cost. Is there a way for me to establish in state residency or do something that can reduce my total cost of attendance?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Daniel</p>
<p>Have your parents move to Michigan and start paying Michigan taxes for a couple of years before you start college. Other than that, nothing really.</p>
<p>DWT - Truly, there is no avenue to become a MI resident once you’ve been accepted short of your entire family moving permanently to MI with proof that you’re NOT doing it to be considered in-state. Their residency requirements are very stringent. Even grad students who go off and work and pay taxes in MI and then return for grad school have been denied residency.</p>
