Is it possible to become a resident of Florida and finish highschool in Massachusetts

<p>I wasn't sure where to put this...</p>

<p>I'm graduating high school in Massachusetts in three years (2015) and I want to attend college in Florida. The out of state tuition for fsu (the college I want to go to) is $ 32,771, plus its bound to go up by the time I graduate. I have a relative who lives in Florida, as well as one of my mom's friends. Is it anyway possible to become a resident of Florida and finish high school in Massachusetts? I plan on moving in with them if I can't live on campus. Is it possible to "live with my relative" although i'm really living in Massachusetts. Also, what colleges/universities in Florida consider you a resident if you live on campus after a year, if any? P</p>

<p>It’s probably not possible. If FSU sees that you attended college in MA and your parents live there (or your legal guardians), they won’t consider you a resident. It will also be difficult to declare residency after just a year.</p>

<p>No you cannot.

A Florida resident for tuition purposes is a U.S. citizen who has, or a dependent person whose parent or legal guardian has, established and maintained legal residency in Florida for at least the 12 months preceding the first day of classes of the term for which residency is sought. Residence in Florida must be as a bona fide domicile rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education.
