[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you knew that it was a 4 hr drive one way to check your mail, why not put your home address down for colleges? You can always change the? address later when you're at your other house. Also, you need to tell your kid to grow a spine and deal with adult responsibilities. Are you going to have to hover during college? [/quote]

Summer house in a different state and for the instate tuition?[/quote]

Colleges KNOW where a student attended high school. If it's in a different state from the address of record, colleges are going to see that instantly when they receive the HS transcript and HS counselor recommendation letter etc.

Maybe there are cases where a gullible college will accept a tale that the kid was somehow a resident of state Mailing Address but magically attended HS four hours away in state High School... But I hope anyone who games the system that way gets nailed and is denied in-state tuition. You cannot just own a property in a state and get in-state tuition. You have to prove actual residency in the state, for specified periods of time that are detailed on colleges' web sites. I'm betting a vacation home doesn't count as a real residence. I'm not sure--did OP come back and explain why college mail was going to a house hours away? [/quote]
