Gray Square Means In-State Tuition is Special Difficulty Difficulty

How to get in-state at Universities in Michigan:

Michigan is home to the university in america with the distinction of having the largest difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition, that’s University of Michigan-Ann Arbor with a $29,662 annual difference!  Maybe blame the state’s poor fiscal situation.  To be fair, people are willing to pay the difference so this is the market in action.

Demonstrating residence is possible but there are significant obstacles for undergrads generally requiring a gap-year of working full-time and supporting yourself.  Consider it an alternative year of growth, learning about responsibility, and it’s worth as much as around $120,000.

Since universities in the state each have their own policy which may be slightly or drastically different than others, it’s best to consider the rules at your particular university in question.
