My friend and I are planning to attend college together in Oregon (we currently live in Nevada), but the tuition for out-of-state students would be too much for either of our families to handle. My friend suggested that we move to Oregon once we graduate high school, live and work there for a year, and then apply to college the following year as residents. Would this actually work and allow us to pay the resident tuition fees rather than the out-of-state tuition fees?

Answer 1 :
Yes, if you get a driver's license, file taxes, etc. in that state. Make sure it's a year before you apply. Just beware that, like many states, jobs are hard to come by, especially if you just have a high school diploma.
Answer 2 :
It depends on the school. Some universities require more than basic legal residency (driver's license and taxes). You should check the school's residency guidelines.
Answer 3 :
You'd have to check with the school, they probably have that information on their website. Many schools require more than one year of residency for undergraduate, so it most likely won't work.
Answer 4 :
For some schools, your residency status is based on your parents until you are a certain age. So even if you did move and got a new license and a job, it still wouldn't matter. Look up the residency requirements of specific schools to see what you need to do. Also, residency only matters for public colleges/universities.
