<p>Okay, so I have lived in NJ for the past 18 years and also worked two consecutive summers for the community I live in which gave me tax returns under my name. I was accepted to a NJ state school with instate tuition obviously but, my family is moving to a different state. However I will still attend this school with in state tuition from what I know of. However, if anyone could tell me if it is possible I am still guaranteed instate tuition sophomore yr. at this school if I use someone's address in NJ that I know??? I know there is the whole rule that you need to live in the state for more than one yr. to receive instate tuition, but I have lived in NJ my whole life and feel I deserve the instate tuition.</p>
<p>You need to look at the college web site or give them a call. I know for a fact that in OH once you start school with in state status you are allowed to keep it. I’d just call them.</p>
<p>I want to try to stay away from putting the attention on the fact that my parents are leaving the state just to prevent the school from highering my tuition due to my parents residence to be…I’m staying under the radar just to be on the safe side…</p>

<p>According to the Rutgers website:
[Rutgers</a> | Rutgers Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.rutgers.edu/Costs/TuitionAndFees/NJTuitionEligibility.aspx#1]Rutgers”>http://admissions.rutgers.edu/Costs/TuitionAndFees/NJTuitionEligibility.aspx#1)
For your freshman year, you should be fine. For your subsequent years, if they do not continue your in-state status, you would simply petition.</p>
<p>You can ask the question anonymously, as noted:
“If I am accepted as an in-state student, but my parents move, can I continue my instate status?”
You are not the first, nore will you be the last, to ask this question.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help Chedva. I went onto my schools website and read the same residence admission requirements and about what domicile meant. I think I will be fine for the freshman year. However, sophomore year would be different because I would be classified as a dependent student with my parents living in a different state as my school’s. So I believe I would be paying out of state tuition. I think I read something about applying as a independent student and if you work in the state of your school, you can receive in state tuition. Have you heard anything like this?</p>
