[quote=bibsoconner]Finally, I’m particularly curious how folks with older kids (FLU, I’m talking to you!) got on with trying to get residency in other states to lower their tuition.[/quote]
I have not heard about anyone establishing residency in another state when the kid graduates from HS in another.
I have heard, however, of parents legally “disowning” their kids on paper so they look like an very poor, independent student so that the financial aid commissions can legally ignore their parents’ resources for the purpose of calculating need. I don’t know all that is involved in doing this. I just know it is done and it takes considerble effort.

That’s a good policy. Difficult to do. When I see scardy
“Why the hell is parental wealth taken into account for student aid?” I want to ask “why is the gubmnt paying for ANYONE’S school in the first place?” But somehow I restrained myself and didn’t post it.
