<p>We've had a house in florida for the past 12 years, if I were applying to UF, would that be considered in-state at all? Or is it just your school?</p>
<p>My friend's parents are divorced and his dad lives in FL. I THINK he was born in FL, but went to school in PA. I know he got in state for UCF, but I guess his parents had set up a Bright Futures fund/acct/whatever. I think FL might be more difficult to gain in state residency.</p>
<p>If your parents pay property tax in a state, I believe that should qualify you for in-state tuition.</p>
<p>One of the parents has to be considered a state resident in order to earn in-state tuition. Simply owning property doesn't cut it.</p>
<p>seriously, guys -- don't guess, speculate or as important questions on a public forum. It takes two seconds to google "university florida residency" and come up with correct answer -- <a href="http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/residency/qualifying.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/residency/qualifying.html</a></p>
<p>just owning property without being an actual resident of the state will now qualify you as an in-state resident.</p>
