Choosing a college where you qualify for in-state residency can cut the cost of college tuition. Be sure to check your state's rules for in-state residency. Each state has different requirements to qualify as in-state resident. Most states require students to have resided in the state for a certain period of time before qualifying. There may be additional requirements too, depending on where you live.
