I've had a few moms say that they heard that some state university systems will offer in-state tuition to foriegn students who graduate from public schools in the USA (Georgia & Texas were examples).

Anybody heard about that?

Isn't that pretty much a given?

Most universities have a one-year requirement for residency, and every high school I've heard of has a requirement of at least 1 full year of attendance to graduate from that school.

SO...if you graduate, you must be a resident of that state, thereby qualifying for in-state tuition.

This is a simplified understanding of the Dream Act:

For the most part targeted at illegal Mexican high school graduates who were brought to the US as children, but could be exploited by Koreans.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking that I was tripping.

Back in California before prop. 13 even JC was free. The state used properytax to fund education. I paid $256 for my first sememster(CSU). I think I dropped about a hunny on books but I can't remember because I was also lying to my parents about the book fees.
