I thought one of the huge advantages to living in D.C. is that families get to pay the in-state tuition at any public university? Or rather, they receive some kind of grant that covers the difference between in-state and OOS. Isn't that right?


They get up to $10K off the difference between the 2, at the colleges on the list that would cover about 1/2 the difference. They don't get the good financial aid that most state schools reserve for instate applicants. $10K is nice, but the majority of DC school grads can't afford $27,000 tuition any more than they can afford $37,000.

It's not even close to 90% instate PLUS you have a much higher rate of getting in (33.8%) as an OOS because Cal is broke and needs your money. In fact, the Bd of Regents recently votes to let in even more OSS because they desperately need the money. http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof13.htm.

Move to CA b/f kid goes to college


A kid in my neighborhood deferred for a year, and moved to California to work and establish residency. Some of the residency rules seemed harsh (the kid could not leave CA to come home to visit during Christmas time).


What? Residency usually has to do with being self-supporting, and working in a state and paying taxes there for X number of months. I've never heard of anyone not being able to come home for a visit.



I thought it seemed crazy too, but it appears to be true. See last sentence below.

Establishing Intent for California Residency

You must demonstrate your intent to make California your home by severing your residential ties with your former state of residence and establishing those ties with California shortly after arrival. Indications of your intent to make California your permanent residence include the following: registering to vote and voting in California elections; designating California as your permanent address on all school and employment records, including military records if you are in the military service; obtaining a California driver’s license or, if you do not drive, a California identification card; obtaining California vehicle registration; paying California income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside California from the date you establish residence; establishing a home in California where you keep your personal belongings; and licensing for professional practice in California. The absence of these indicia in other states during any period for which you claim California residence can also serve as an indication of your intent. Documentary evidence is required and all relevant indications will be considered in determining your classification. Your intent will be questioned if you return to your prior state of residence when the university is not in session.
Hypothetical question...if one parent resides in Maryland and the other in California one year prior to college application, would DC be eligible for in-state tuition?

That is nice. How many of those do they give away?


Judging from what I read on College Confidential, it is quite a few.

University of Texas also used to have a generous rule for establishing in-state residency. You could actually establish in-state residency while a student (this was for grad, not undergrad, I think the cut-off was age 25 to do this - one year & in-state tuition). I think may be fairly generous for undergrad residency too (but I'm sure you can't establish while you are a student).

It's $10,000/year. Nice, but not quite the same as in-state.

Don't laugh! I have been seriously considering it since my plan was to move that way when DC graduated. However, I'm sure there are some residency timeframes.
