I am almost 18 and was born in my state and have lived here all my life except 3 years from age 6-9. I graduate this spring and I want to live with my mom for a year in her European country. My dad would still be living in my home state while I am gone. I would then want to go to an in-state school the year after.
Would I lose residency?
As a parent I have a high school senior who really wants to hang out for a year with her European cousins in Europe. Her older sister, my eldest daughter took a gap year, moved out of state for a year and lost her right to in-state tuition. Kids in US who are sure they are going to a private school can take a gap year.
Every state has its own rules. Asking the general question here is pointless.
No, you would not lose your state residency. The only way you would is if you decided to become a citizen of that European country, or your dad moved to another state and you lost your home of record. As long as your dad stays put you’re fine. Go enjoy Europe!
How would anyone even know? You think they're going to pull up your passport and immigration records upon application?
No.
Ahh, what I would do to be a naiveteenager again.
Unless you're actually changing your residency (vs just "travelling" in Europe for a year), you should be fine.
Eg. You were born and raised in Idaho. You are going to a public high school in Idaho. What is the likelihood of obtaining Idaho in-state tuition? 100%. You travel to Europe for a year. You live in a European country in which you are familiar with the language and local dialect. You take a job as a waiter to give yourself some spending money and to meet people. Have you increased or decreased the probability of receiving in-state tuition at University of Idaho? Posters telling you to move to Europe for a year and telling you, you will not be caught are risking your money!
