[nabs-l] Does VR cover DC schools?

[Cindy Bennett]

Sorry for the second message, but to follow that up, I would consider
figuring out how you can establish residency if you choose to go to a
public school in another state. That way, you can get in-state tuition
after their period of residency establishment, usually a year.
Sometimes, just going to a school in another state doesn't make you
eligible for residency after a year. This is the case in Washington
state. So doing things like getting a permanent address, ID, or even
switching your VR case to the respective state can help your case for
residency after a year.
