Our current plans have us moving to Florida from Texas when we retire in a few years. We have a son will have just graduated when we make the move.
The plan will be for him to go to college in Florida (possibly a community college the first year or two).
I know in most states you have to be a resident for a year to get the in state tuition rates. Does that mean that we would get the lower rates from year 2 going forward even if he is at the same school as he was the first year? Or does he have to be an in state resident when he starts school to avoid out of state rates for the entire enrollment?
In other words, would he have to change schools after the first year to avoid the higher rates for the final 3 years if he stays at the same school?
