Out of state -> in state? (how feasible?)

<p>Is it nearly impossible to qualify for in state tuition, say, by junior year?</p>

<p>How typical is it for that to happen? Given a modicum of effort, is it feasible?</p>

<p>Short answer: yeah, it’s nearly impossible if you’re the average student (a dependent of your parents, unmarried, not in the military, etc.)</p>

<p>Here’s the relevant Ohio law: [Ohio</a> Residency](<a href=“http://www.ohio.edu/gcatalog/97-99/reside.htm]Ohio”>Ohio Residency). You’d basically have to be financially independent of your parents - this isn’t easy. Or they’d have to move to Ohio for full-time work. If you search around college confidential you can find more threads about state residency requirements. Here’s one: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/424434-changing-state-residency.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/424434-changing-state-residency.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Consider that if it were remotely possible, wouldn’t everyone do it?</p>
