<p>Just to note - Michigan is notoriously tough on those seeking residency status. When I applied to grad school at U of M, I was originally classified as non-resident, even though I had lived, worked, and paid taxes in Michigan for 25 years. It took me 6 months to get my case appealed and my status changed.</p>
<p>Their reason? I had graduated from an out-of-state high school and undergrad school 20+ years ago (even though I’d lived here for 25 years since then.) It’s a very tough system.</p>
