<p>Hi, I'm an OOS-er recently accepted to U of Illinois. I understand that as an out-of-stater, I can eventually pay in-state tuition once I show that I am in the state of Illinois for the long-haul.</p>

<p>^Right. I'm not even sure what I mean either. I know there are generally several ways I can become a "resident" of Illinois, either by having my whole family move there (not happening) or staying for at least a year, and filing some forms in the meantime....</p>

<p>Basically I have no clue. Any current students from Out-of-state or anyone else who has experience/advice in obtaining residency status (and thus resident-level tuition) as an OUT-OF-STATER?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the only way you can get residency yourself is if you live there for a year, but you can’t be going to school at the same time. And you also have to maintain a job.</p>
