Who qualifies as an In-State student?

<p>If I go to a Highschool in PA, and after I graduate, my family moves to NJ. Do I qualify as an in-state?</p>

<p>“Rutgers University’s policy on legal residency is governed by New Jersey Administrative Code 9A:5, which requires that individuals be domiciled in the state for 12 months before becoming eligible for in-state tuition. The university reserves the right to audit residency information provided by any student who intends to enroll at Rutgers.”</p>

<p>I live in PA on the border of NJ and PA… :frowning:
NB is literally 30 minutes away from my house, so is there a way I can explain this to them?</p>

<p>If you live in Pennsylvania but your parents work in Delaware, it USED TO BE that you could go as “in state” in DE. BUT I have no idea if anything like that is still true, or if it’s true between PA and NJ. I found out too late.</p>

<p>Worth a try…</p>

<p>I learned from a professor down south that there is a little-known program where states can give each other reciprocity. IE, if a NJ resident wants to go to PA and a PA resident wants to go to NJ, there is some program where you can essentially trade places, each going for the in-state price. Since my D had no interest in going down south, we didn’t pursue it, so I have no idea how it works.</p>
