First investigate the residency requirements of PA and how long it will take you to become a legal resident. In the case of PA it looks like the time is as follows:
The following statements are taken from the State Code of PA on Commonwealth residency: (paragraph 35.29b)
(A) Domicile is the place where one intends to and does, in fact, permanently reside. In order to establish Commonwealth residency, the following presumptions shall be considered along with documentary evidence or statements from disinterested persons, or both:
(1) Continuous residence in this Commonwealth for a period of 12 months prior to registration as a student. A student may rebut this presumption by convincing evidence.
Once in PA, you can take online classes ANYWHERE and have your time still be counted as a PA residency IFyou are living there and can prove it. To prove residency, get a drivers license, rent receit, etc.
Good Luck

If you plan on attending a school that isn't part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Slippery Rock, Shippensburg, West Chester), a state-related school (Pitt, Penn State, Temple, Lincoln), or a community college, your tuition rate should not be affected by your residency status.
You might consider taking a year off from school if attending one of these schools is important to you. If you are already attending a college in Florida, see if they participate in the National Student Exchange program--there are 5 state schools in PA that participate, so you could attend (and begin making a transition as your residency changes) for a semester at FL tuition rates, and then consider transferring for a later semester.

Ask an admission office at a college in FL that is unrelated to where you want to attend the offline course. I'm not sure...you might not be able to consider yourself a resident of FL while you are residing in PA to become eligible for PA tuition.

I don't know about Florida or Pennsylvania laws, but in California, you have to physically reside in the state and INTEND to STAY AT LEAST ONE YEAR PLUS ONE DAY in order to be considered for resident tuition.

i guess you could do that but the online credits probably wont transfer to a traditional university therefore you would be wasting your time. plus, if you do do online it doesnt matter if it is in FL or PA or SD or CA etc etc etc.

Online is a totally different thing. It isn't nearly as good as being there.
If you are worried about the out-of-state tuition then do not move.
Contact the school's admissions office if you have any questions regarding tuition.

yeah, but make sure that the online college you're doing in FL doesn't require you to be present at all..first day, finals, whatever...and the units are transferrable to your next school.
