<p>I'm currently a Junior in high school living in Illinois, and I plan on attending Michigan State when I graduate. I have heard that to get in state tuition, at least one of my parents has to be a resident of the state. Is that true? Is there anything else you have to do? My family has had a lakehouse in Michigan since before I was born, and my mom can easily become a resident of the state.</p>
<p>You could look at these websites to see if you qualify:</p>
<p>[MSU</a> RO:Out-Of-State Tuition Regulations](<a href=“MSU RO: Error 404: Web Page Not Found”>MSU RO: Regulations for Qualifying for In-State Tuition)
[SOM</a> - How do I Become a Resident of Michigan?](<a href=“http://www.michigan.gov/som/0,4669,7-192--86428--,00.html]SOM”>SOM - 404 - Page Not Found)</p>
<p>If in doubt, just contact the admissions/financial office.</p>
<p>You have to live there for one year before starting classes and your mom has to prove that she lives there. </p>
<p>Unless you move to Michigan, or take a gap year, it’s going to be quite difficult.</p>
