Instate but accepted at out of state?

<p>I have been living and attending school in my current state for the past 5 years. For the last 2 years, I attended a community college nearby. Since it was time to transfer this semester, I applied to a new university. Got accepted, but as a out-of-state student; paying 2x the tuition as instate.
Is it possible to change my status and be qualified for instate tuitions?</p>

<p>Usually no, but policies vary by state. Google the name of the state and ‘college residency requirements’ or call the school, every college has an office that determines residency.</p>
