Living In 2 States... Legal or Not?

[Schuman11]

<p>So I have recently been searching through Kentucky colleges ( Louisville, Uk, etc. ) and I really liked Uk. The only thing is that the difference between in state and out of state cost of attendence is about $9,500 on average. </p>

<p>In-State: 22,000 ( rounded )
Out of State: 31,500 ( rounded )</p>

<p>Heres the thing, Im currently living in Ohio, but me and my family have a house down in Kentucky aswell. Would it be illegal if I put my Kentucky home address to UK to pay less money?</p>

<p>I posted this like 30 minutes ago, but I think it got deleted. If thats the case can I know why.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Each public college and university posts its residence requirements right on its website. If you can’t find it there, call and ask.</p>

<p>Sometimes it is possible to claim residence in more than one state, however usually it isn’t. Most often a student’s residence for tuition and fees is the state where the family maintains its permanent home. Not the state where a second or vacation home is.</p>

<p>Don’t you think when they get a transcript from an OH HS it will give it away?<br>

In making a determination of residency status, it shall be presumed that a person is a nonresident if:
    A person is, or seeks to be, an undergraduate student and admissions records show the student to be a graduate of an out-of-state high school within five (5) years prior to a request for a determination of residency status;
    A person’s admissions records indicate the student’s residence to be outside of Kentucky at the time of application for admission;
    A person moves to Kentucky primarily for the purpose of enrollment in an institution;
    A person moves to Kentucky and within twelve (12) months enrolls at an institution more than half time; or
    A person has a continuous absence of one (1) year from Kentucky; or
    A person attended an out-of-state higher education institution during the past academic year and paid in-state tuition at that institution.
A presumption arising from subsection (1) of this section shall only be overcome by preponderance of evidence sufficient to demonstrate that a person is domiciled in and is a resident of Kentucky.
