So I was accepted into UMD for Spring and offered Freshman Connection. The cost of attending is really steep, but it’s my first pick and perfect in every way, other than cost. I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to get resident tuition as an OOS as it would make attending much cheaper and viable. If I lived off campus and worked someplace other than the school for my first year will I be able to apply for residency my sophomore year and get resident tuition for the remaining years?
I called them about this. You would have to meet all the requirements on the form for in state residency, including having an address that is not a dorm or campus housing like living and learning. They require you to live on campus you first year so i don’t know if it’s possible your to establish in state residency your first year.

I would also call them to make sure.
