Establishing Residency for Instate?

<p>Well recently I’ve been thinking, and I was wondering if I decide to move to Pennsylvania for the next four years, is it possible for me to get in state tuition after a year and some change? What I mean is:</p>

<li><p>Rent an Apartment in my name from like May till next school year (not the 08-09, the 09-10) and then live there my sophmore year. That will be then a year and four months then, which, in California I believe it’s more than enough.</p></li>
<li><p>Would I have to put it in my name or my mother’s? I would be moving, I doubt my mom would but since she’s still helping pay for college am I gonna be considered a dependent and a resident of where SHE stays?</p></li>
<li><p>If this is the case, this could also affect my financial aid for this year right?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Let me know please, I’m also gonna ask in the parents forum since they are usually really experienced in this area.</p>

<p>Thanks for that Sax, I'm considering moving there permanently anyway so that reclassification thing really interests me. Thanks again.</p>
