I have lived in the state of Indiana for just over 18 months, but am here only to go to college. I am not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Does these make me a resident for legal purposes?

I believe to be considered the resident of the state, you need an identification card or a driver's license. The process to obtain an ID card or a DL requires a social security number, which I believe you do not have. So legally, you are not a resident of Indiana. But one advice, do check the immgration laws from your state, because each state is different afterall.
N.B.I read all other users' comments but keep in mind that he/she is not a U.S. citizen or a perm. resident of the U.S.

You are a state resident if you've been there 30 days and also you have 30 days to transfer you drivers licsense This is what I know from my own experience moving from Ohio to Tennessee
So I would say if you drive on their roads and have an address in that state then you need to follow the rules.

Each state has different requirements - check with your college, because they have to know the rules to determine in-state and out of state charges for tuition.
Your nationality does affect residency, if you are talking about school fees.
