   Each state has its own residency rules. And sometimes each conference   
   a school is in. Living in the state is also defined in different ways.   
      
   Tennessee has no rules concerning residency. Some states define   
   residency as being more than 183 days. Other states it is one year.   
   And at least one state at three years. Conferences also set residency   
   rules for tuition purposes. Also individual schools might have their   
   own specific rules.   
      
   >I mostly grew up in Florida and graduated from high school there.  At   
   >that time the state universities gave automatic admission to anyone who   
   >graduated from a Florida high school, plus had a tuition of $50 per

   >them did just that.  I have no idea what their policy is today.   
      
   Generally, move to a state, have a place to live, get a driver's   
   license, register to vote, get a library card, etc. After one year,   
   having a way to verify how long one has been there, should be enough.   
   Maybe. But that is for those who want to pay in-state tuition.   
      
   How long does it take to become a resident of a state is even more   
   chaotic. Some will tell you a resident of the state is one who has   
   received a driver's license from that state. How long does it take   
   for someone to get a driver's license in a state he/she has moved   
   to? Certainly a lot less than a year. More likely just a few days.
