im a senior in high school. for college, i plan to go to either:
university of michigan
univ. of michigan - dearborn
wayne state university
my dad lives in michigan, but i live in alabama. is there a way i can be classified as an in-state resident without taking a year off from school?
on collegeboard's site, i found a guide to michigan's state residency and in one quote it said:
"The domicile of a dependent student is presumed to be the same as that of the student's natural parents. If only one natural parent is domiciled in Michigan, the student will be presumed to be a Michigan resident regardless of whether that parent is the student's custodial parent."
Would this qualify me as a resident? It sounds too good to be true. Is there a catch or am I not reading between the lines? Any help would be appreciated.
here's the link to the where i found the quote:

If those are the rules, then you're fine. Call the admissions office at one of the Michigan public universities just to confirm this.

Illegal is Illegal! If the family came into the United States illegally then no matter how many days, months or years they have been in our country they are taking our U.S. citizen taxpayer employment, schools, social welfare and hospital services illegally. Over 20 million illegals are not what America needs. Their own country should provide what they come to our soil for. Why doesn't the U.S. help those countries provide for their own so they will have no need to come here against our laws of immigration.

I believe you do qualify for in-state tuition. I was able to get in state tuition at Michigan state after living there for two months because my parents moved there around that time. Prior to that I was enrolled in college in NJ

the admissions website at UM probably has this information.
UM and UM-Dearborn will have the same policies on this.
