[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 306148, member: 1233"] As far as I know it is the same for grad school. husband got graduate assistantships and they covered the out of state portion of his tuition and paid him a small stipend to teach 2-3 classes a semester. Most professors only teach 2 classes, well, now some are teaching 3, but those that do a lot of publishing only teach 2 classes per semester. those are smaller classes than grad assistants teach. It is one way schools exploit grad students. But it does help pay the fees. Our vet school (OSU has a top vet school) frequently attracts students who move here and take jobs for a couple of years to be able to get in state tuition. Check into the residency requirements for each state. In Texas anyone who is born in Tx is a resident, even if they live elsewhere all their lives. My dad could have claimed that, but refused because it felt dishonest. My scholarship would not have been increased by the amount that the out of state waiver cost, so it worked out ok. It IS something to think about. Just be aware that very very few students actually graduate with a degree in what they thought they wanted to study. Most change majors a couple of times. And that it in undergrad. good luck! [/QUOTE]
