Ok, I'm going to Kent State-Ashtabula, one of the regional campuses of Kent State University. I was looking at the tuition/fees page, under the regional campuses 06-07(don't have 07-08 up yet) tuition totals. Then, it says, undergrad resident lower division, then it has a list. Then it says undergrad non-resident lower division and it gives the totals for each. Now, I live in Ashtabula, and because this is a regional campus, they don't offer room/board. So how do I know if I'm a resident or not? Are you a resident then if you are from that city or state? Here is the page... http://www.kent.edu/bursar/Fall-2006-Tuition-and-Fees.cfm ... its the regional campuses remember. Tell me whether I'd fall under a resident or non-resident, I'm thinking I'm right with me being resident, but I just want to make sure. Thanks ahead of time

I'll be living at home with my parent while attending there... if that helps.

By "resident", they're referring to whether or not you live in-state or out-of-state. So, as long as you live in the same state as where the college is, you'd go off of the resident tuition. There are exceptions to this: sometimes state-run universities offer resident rates to students from neighboring states.

Usually, residency applies to the state you live in. You live in Ohio and attend Kent State, you are a resident. Doesn't matter what branch of Kent. Check with admissions or whatever office deals with this to make sure you are in the correct category.

In general, you are a resident if you have lived in the state for a year (at least that's how it was for me when I was in college). You could also ask the school bursar or admissions counselor; either would be able to give you a definitive answer.
Good luck.

You are a resident if you are from that state.
There are other ways to establish residency
If you are a minor and your parents are residents of Ohio -- then you qualify as a resident. If you are not a minor but have established residency in Ohio, then you are a resident. If you do not live in Ohio but one of your parents is in the military and kept his or her official residency in Ohio, then you are a resident.
Given that you live in this town -- it is safe to assume you are not from out-of-state -- so will qualify as a resident.
