It’s not that simple.  You still have to demonstrate an intention of residing in Virginia beyond college to establish domicile for purposes of in-state tuition.  When I moved to Virginia from out of state to go to UVA for law school, I was able to get in-state tuition after the first year but only because I was able to explain that my partner and I had decided to move to Virginia where he grew up, my decision to go to UVA rather than a different law school back where I had been living was driven primarily by our decision to move to Virginia (I included copies of my acceptance letters from those schools to substantiate that I could have gone to other comparable schools in my prior area), I had a permanent residence in Northern Virginia, and my partner had a job there.  I was able to get in-state tuition but friends of mine who couldn’t demonstrate as strong connections to Virginia indicating an intention to live in the state beyond schooling were denied it.
