Say you get accepted to an out of state school and move there in the alloted time to become a resident of that state. If you have already payed your out of state tuition will yet you became a resident of that state before class starts for your first semester there, do you get the excess tuition money back?

For Elon(which is a Private school and only gives 2,000 to in state residents) you have to be a resident of that state for at least one year to receive the instate 'discount'.

For every public university I can think of, you must be a resident for 12 consective months prior to get instate tuition. The best in-state tuition is UC Berkely(free). I wish I lived in California for 12 consective months.

Free is kind of a loose term for Cal, since taxes and living expenses are so high out in California it's kind of like a tradeoff.

you know the residency rules are in place for people like todd in this case.

 

 

and i really dont see what the point of the jab at california is in this case.

most places I know have it as a year
