<p>@julliet thanks for the reply. I do hear a lot about undergrad not mattering as much where you go as much as how well you do wherever you go. I’m just hoping to get some inside info or personal opinions as to which would be more enjoyable/ worth the money. As for instate residency, would I qualify if one of my parents gained MA residency for 12 months? My dad’s family lives in MA and he has spent most of his life there. However, he has been in the Air Force for the past 12 years, which gives him options for state residency in states other than the one he currently lives in because we move from base to base every few years. We are currently living in DE while he is still a resident of WA (where we lived 10 years ago) and he said that he believes he can get MA residency again. Would this apply to me as a dependent for tuition purposes?</p>
