[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not current, but back in the day I became a resident after my first year, regardless of teaching or research. (And my fellowship covered out-of-state tuition for that first year.) So another relevant question would be how long it takes to become a resident.[/quote]

OP here. My university required you to *not* be a student for at least a year to be considered an in-state resident, IIRC.[/quote]

Guess it varies:

Here's Illinois, where you can get residency after a year: "In general, except as otherwise provided in this policy, a person must be domiciled in Illinois for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term for which residency is sought to be classified as a resident by the U of I System."

On the other hand Massachusetts won't change status: "Most students do not qualify for a change in residency status once it has been established during admission. Residency is determined by where you were living 12 months prior to starting your higher education in Massachusetts. You cannot obtain in-state residency status, for tuition and fees, when you move to Massachusetts for an education."[/quote]
