Using a different address for school

Paying for College
1

<p>I am applying to a city college in NYC and they offer in and out of state costs for their students. I am a New Jersey resident. Obviously I can't have the in state rate. My grandparents on the other hand do live in NYC. Can I register my address to be with them and have the in state tuition costs? Or is there anything else similar I can do in order to achieve what I am looking for? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Your residency for instate tuition is based on your parents’ State of residency, not your grandparents (or even yours).</p>

<p>You need to talk to the relevant office of the CUNY to see what they have to say about this. As a rule, it is your PARENT’s state of residence that counts until age 24, but different schools enforce these rules differently.</p>
