How hard is it to become a VT resident?

<p>D is considering grad school at UVM after undergrad at a Vermont LAC. How hard is it to establish residency for tuition purposes?</p>

<p>I believe it is rather difficult I’m afraid. I seem to remember “3 years” from the open house day speaker, but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>How old is she? How long will she spend in Vermont before attending any school? </p>

<p>The official law of the state is that you have to be there within 1 year before going to school to simply avoid the presumption that you are there only to get in-state tuition. Even if you are, the state will demand to see evidence of your intent to live there in a permanent basis:</p>

<p>Could I gain residency by working for Americorps in Vermont for a year?</p>
