It has nothing to do with scheming an in-state discount to some public college or angling for some geographic hook. My lord go outside for a walk.


More importantly OP, did you ever find out anything?

NP. You do know that you owe nobody here an explanation what you do with your money or your life. I don't know why you continue to engage. I would have moved on eons ago.

we used our summer house in montana as well. for our cars too.


Did your kid get in-state tuition at a Montana college?



She figured that the admissions office would buy that the kid was from Montana (and should thus face lower hurdles to admission) even if she goes to school elsewhere.

Maybe I'm clueless, but why? Is it because schools get less applicants from Montana than the DC area?

Are you going to have to hover during college?


Summer house in a different state and for the instate tuition?


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?


I would thin it wood be settled by state income tax records.
