After being in the service for 4 years, i will technically be a veteran correct? If i'm a veteran, than shouldn't that entitle me to not have to pay out of state tution?

Depends on the state, however many states do offer in state tuition rates to veterans. Why no look on the website for the schools you are interested in attending?
Unless your discharge is a BCD or DH, you will not just be technically a veteran, you will be a veteran.

Basically the Governor of each state decides who will and who will not have to pay in-state tuition. Being a veteran has no bearing on it. The usual requirement are being a resident of the state where the university is or, in the case of California, being an illegal alien.
You can move to that state and establish residency, which usually involves being there from 6 months to a year before starting school with the state purpose of making it your permanent residence. Requirements vary from state to state.

Actually it varies from state to state, some states will allow you to use state resident rates but most will not. Colleges and universities tuition cost is not a Federal thing it is done by the state so it is there choice. Research it before you go and check the residency requirements to use in state tuition also-some are very easy and do make leeway for personnel getting out of service to get it easier then some way moving there just to go to college.

No.
You can pay in state tuition at any school in the state where you have your home of record.
You're confusing state and federal authority.
And afer 4 years, you ARE a veteran, nothing technical about it.

Yes, you will have to pay out of state tuition at most universities.

as it stands now the only state you are entitled to in state tuition is your official state of residence.and there is a length of time before you are accepted as being a resident.
you can't have a residence in one state and before discharge change that residency unless you meet the time requirements of that state.

You can establish residency in the city or town where you want to go to school and that will entitle you to in-state rates.

go to school in your home state or you will be paying out of state tuition. My home state Illinois has a program for illinois students to go to some Missouri schools and vice versa

All depends on where you live and if your state is a part of that program. If not you always have your GI bill.
