How to become an Indiana resident while attending college?
I am a Michigan resident and I just completed my first year at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. Is there any way that I can become an Indiana resident while still attending BSU?

Make an address change on your driver license, social security card, school etc. You could put in a change of address form with the post office.

Here are two sites you can look up: Indiana Secretary of State website: http://www.in.gov/sos/photoid/checklist.html From Indiana Univ. website: "Students who are 21 years of age or emancipated are eligible for resident student status after they have been physically present in Indiana for 12 consecutive months (prior to the first day of classes) without the predominant purpose of education." http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/law/2002-2004/financial.html#res Apparently residency for university purposes may be stricter than for residential purposes. Check with Ball State re: their residency requirements.
