[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get why they don’t, but since we’ve lived in four states since my son was born, I (selfishly) think he should qualify for in state for all four states.

- military family[/quote]

My son has also lived in 4 states, and I don't think he should get in-state tuition. I think that your children should.

I think that active-duty military families should get in-state across all 50, and former military in those states that they were stationed. We had the choice the leave the state, your family did not (short of leaving the military).

Is this a bill that has been proposed?  [/quote]

Active duty military all have a state of residency that they can keep no matter where they are living, which is where they get in-state tuition.  So your suggestion makes no sense.[/quote]

You get to keep the state you enlisted in, but then when you retire you have to return to your original state. Once I got out, and followed up husband’s career I paid state taxes in each state. The law for spouses just changed under Obama. [/quote]

You don't have to return to your original state.  It goes to the state you choose to move in.  Once you are retired, you don't get all the benefits.

Former military means what?  Served 2 years? 20 years?  Just because you lived in a state a few years doesn't mean you should get to get college there years later.  Yes, sometimes you do get a choice of a few options on where to move.  [/quote]
