Setting up a PO Box to get around out of state fees?

that most schools require you to have lived there a year to qualify for in-state. if you have a parent that's lived there a year, you're good to go

1. join the military and be stationed in NC. Then you get in-state tuition rate.

otherwise,

1. you have to be physically present in NC for 12 months
2. have NC driver's license, register a vehicle in NC or register to vote for 12 months
3. financially independent from your parents (unless your parents are NC residents)

paying in-state tuition means that you are going to school supported by NC tax-payers. They are not gonna give you in-state tuition that easily.

They may want to see your NC tax returns from the prior year as well.

my mom reported that she made only 5k last year tho lmao....so i dont think i will have to pay too much....:)
