<p>I also heard that if i were to apply as an independent and get a job during my years in washington then i could be counted as a washington resident?</p>
<p>OOS tuition is so expensive :(</p>
<p>To answer your questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>No.</p></li>
<li><p>Not exactly… take a few minutes to read this:
[UW</a> Residency - Establishing A Bona Fide Domicile](<a href=“Residency Requirements (Non-affidavit) - Office of the University Registrar”>Residency Requirements (Non-affidavit) - Office of the University Registrar)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You have to be financially independent for both the current and prior year. </p>
<p>Also, “Current guidelines require students who are enrolled for 7 credits or more a quarter must be employed at least 30 hours per week at a non-student job to overcome the presumption of educational purposes.”</p>
<p>Additionally, you need to get a DL/State ID, register your car, register to vote within 30 days of <em>arrival</em></p>
<p>Establish a bank account in Washington</p>
<p>Live in the state 12 consecutive months as a <em>legal resident</em></p>
<p>Basically they want you to prove you didn’t move here to go to school</p>
