Let say if I'm living in Virginia and now I'm going to attend U Wisconsin. Does it matter if my whole family move to Wisconsin and find some jobs and pay the state tax in the first year? I will surly paying the out of state tuition in the freshman year, but will I become in state student and pay in state tuition after the freshman year?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>If then, does it mean I have to go there 12 months before my freshman year?</p>
<p>Yes, your parents must live there 12 months before and establish residency as indicated in order for you to become eligible for instate tuition</p>
<p>so if I go there after my senior year, can I have instate tuition for Sophomore year and onward?</p>
