What Can I Do About My College Residence

What does State of Residence mean, filling out college apps.?

first, i'm guessing you live in a state that you may or may not be a resident of and you are trying to figure out what to put down. because this question on college apps is not the one that stumbles people. What does you're drivers liscense say?? odds are that you need to put that state down-unless you have not been in that state long enough. say you just moved to washington from virginia, but it's only been like 6 months. you put virginia-after a year you put washington. if you are in the military-where are you from? my brother's a california res. but lives in kentucky. i suppose the simplest answer is to put down the state in which you vote. regardless of where you live-if you are a legal voter elsewhere then that's what you put down. good luck!

What does it mean when a college says it will consider "Geographical residence" for admission?

It won't help you. geographic residence means if you're an instate applicate or out of state applicant. So you're out of state. And specifically from nj may be a disadvantage (depending on the school and i'm not sure what Uconn wants). Some schools like to balance out the geographic distribution. Nj, an east coast school, and close to connecticut will have many other strong applicants. So if anything, it can only be a disadvantage. But chances are, it won't have any affect on your app specifically which state you are from, although you will not get the benefits of instate admissions

What is meant by “residential colleges” in the University of Melbourne? Are they similar to a dormitory?

It’s like dormitory but more, and every college does have differences.They ‘re essentially like dormitory in the sense that they provide accommodations to university students (mostly UoM). But they also organize social activities among residents and mostly have a student union and sports clubs.Different colleges differ not only in size but also in collegial cultures and, perhaps most importantly, what facilities they provide. For instance, some colleges do not provide three meals a day, and some have their private libraries.Still, they can be treated just like dormitory if you feel that all you need is a bedroom. Participations of college activities are usually not forced (but you’ve probably paid for them as part of rent fee).Colleges are usually more expensive compared to other types of accommodations of similar room quality. This is largely due to their excellent locations (just meters away from UoM) and additional costs like activity fees are included.Living in a residential college means a level of formality. While it doesn’t mean you’re locked down or ruled over (since you’re already adult), it certainly won’t be as free as a rented house or student apartment. There’re addtional events to attend, extra issues to settle - which can be a boon or burden depending on your preferred way of life.

Is college free in the UK for people with a Permanent Residence Card?

Depends on your meaning of “College”. We British use “college” to describe the final 2 years of pre-degree education, as in a 6th Form College. This period is used to study and gain A-Levels. Even then, it’s not a term in widespread use. It is however, free.If you’re a Yank, College refers to what we would call a University.As for it being free - well, you’re about 15 years too late. University did used to be free, as it was seen as an institution needed to train qualified professionals. Now, its quite expensive - most universities charge around £9000 a year, with most degrees being 3 year courses. I was one of the lucky ones, being in the last intake with £3000 tuition fees.

If I attend an out of state college, can I get my permit and license there, then change it to my permanent state?

You are expected to obtain your permit and license in your state of residence. Residence is essentially a matter of intent: Wherever you consider your true, fixed, and permanent home.Certain acts serve as a manifestation of your intent. Where are you registered to vote? Are you paying resident tuition at school? Do you own property and claim a homeowner’s exemption in either state? These acts create a rebuttable presumption of residence in the appropriate state.Let’s imagine twins: Alice and Beth. They grew up in Pennsylvania but are now attending a public college or university in California. For the sake of this example, let’s say they are both putting themselves through school without financial support from their parents.Alice registers to vote in Pennsylvania. One summer while temporarily back home in Pennsylvania, she gains a driving permit. Later, she gets a Pennsylvania license. Alice pays four years of full tuition in California because she is considered a nonresident there. After school, Alice returns home to Pennsylvania, lands a job, and exults in the masterfully planned convenience of already having the appropriate license.Beth immediately registers to vote in California and soon gets a California driver’s license. After two years, Beth cites these facts when requesting to pay resident tuition at school. The school accedes and as a result, she saves about $40,000 over her final two years at school. After school, Beth has no idea where she will end up. It turns out she gets a job back in Pennsylvania. She moves there and obtains a Pennsylvania license. The last step was a mild nuisance, but who cares. She is now in exactly the same situation as Alice except that she has $40,000 less debt.In this scenario, be like Beth.If instead, your plan is to transfer to a public school in Pennsylvania after spending two years in California, you’re better off maintaining Pennsylvania residency. Or, if you’re contemplating graduate school at a public school in Pennsylvania, the equation could take yet another form. Consider your options, formulate your intent accordingly, and do your best to manifest concrete evidence of your intent.

Can I state the address of my college hostel as my office address for applying for a PAN card?

You can surely can use your hostel address,provided you have some document(issued by your hostel) in support of it.Further,you can check by visiting the website of NSDL as to whether the Income Tax department accepts the document in support of you proof of residence.

What does it mean to claim residency for tuition purposes for college?

In the US it is common (there are exceptions) for public colleges and universities to have an in-state tuition fee for residents and a higher, out-of-state tuition for non-residents (including international students). The underlying principle is that state taxes are a major source of funding, and residents, therefore, deserve a subsidy.Let’s use my alma mater as an example:Ohio State University Tuition, Costs and Financial Aid - CollegeData College ProfileHoly cow! Nineteen thousand dollars a year is quite a subsidy.Your first thought is, “There must be some way I can get around this.”Multiple times a week on Quora somebody is asking for a simple answer to a residency question. (They usually don’t even bother to name the school or the state.) There is no simple answer. The “devil is in the details.”Let’s look at the rules for Ohio. You will find them on the school’s website, and, in many cases on the specific state’s website. (One exception is Michigan where the schools make their own rules.)Ohio Residency for Tuition PurposesOne of the significant factors in applying the rules is whether you are a “dependent” student or an “independent” student. If you are dependent (most common), the parent who claimed you on their Federal taxes must be living in Ohio (and be paying Ohio taxes.)Just to make matters more interesting the terms “dependent” and “independent” don’t mean the same as the definition used by the FAFSA.You will find that it is very hard to circumvent the rules. Schools are very rigorous about collecting that out-of-state premium, and they have seen every trick in the book.

What are the chances of getting residence at St. Stephen's if I am selected for admission but not for residence, given that I am from Darjeeling?

Please mention the community and/or quota you belong to. That might help in answering the question.Because the way in which residence is provided is unknown, it is difficult to tell whether you’ll get residence or not. Since you come from a hard-area (I lived in Kurseong for 2 years and studied in CST Sonada, it’s really cold out there), you should enquire about this the day you pay your fees and write an application to the person who is currently responsible for allotting residence.Still that does not ensure your seat in Residence. I did not get residence in my first year for ‘I don’t know why’ even after my interview and aptitude test were fairly good. So consider it a luck - a hit or a miss and start searching for a suitable Paying Guest nearby (maybe in Kamla Nagar).

What does 30 credit hours taken in residence mean?

It means that you must take 30 credit hours while at that college and/or not from anywhere else and transferred in.

Example: My school requires that the last 30 credit hours must be completed in residence, meaning I cannot transfer credits from other institutions for those last 30 credit hours.

How does my niece establish residence in my county to attend the outstanding community college only 4 miles from my home?

You should check with the local community college. You don’t specify what state or city you are in. I will you are in California and give you advice according to California rules and regsYour niece should move here. She should get a learners permit from the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and take some lessons in driving for the rules in the state of California. Pass the test and have a California Driver’s License. She should start a bank or credit union account and have a decent sum of money in it. If your niece is under age, you may need to have a letter from the parents that says you are in charge of her and in case of emergency can make decisions for her (think car accident, emergency surgery etc)She can’t get a job on a visitor’s visa. She needs to get a different visa— so that should be checked out before she comes to live with you.  Apply to the college and see if that will qualify her as being a legal resident.Not sure if that covered everything but it covers a lot of territory.
