Does anyone know what you have to do to establish residency in the state of PA to be eligible for IN state tuition?

Ok well I am staying at a place for free but I am not on a lease, I have been here for two months. My mail still goes to my moms house and I guess I could get a PA license? But I have no address and I am living in dorms for the spring, do those count? I was going to get a sublet for the summer. I also don't know how long I need to have been here. It is important because financial aid award covers enough for IN state but out of state is too pricey.

How about if I transferred into a Reserve or Guard unit in PA? Would that be concrete?

You need an address. You need a PA address to get a PA drivers license. Dorms don't count. I'm not sure about the reserve or guard unit. Call them and ask someone.
