I'm sitting here watching the 11:00 news and one of the stories was of a Michigan man who returned from serving in Iraq for the last two years and applied for admission as an in-state resident at one of the universities. Unfortunately for him, university officials decided that instead of paying $500 as a state resident, he would have to pay over $2000 as an out of state resident....because he was in Iraq and, therefore, not actually a resident of the state.
Gotta love it.

Do you lose residency while serving overseas? Have I missed something?

I can't see why on earth they wouldn't consider him a resident unless there's a rule about having to have been in the state for the past x months/years... in which case that's kinda wonky.

I hope that school does the right thing and gives him the in-state rate. I'm sure he's paid taxes in Michigan, and has earned it.

Arrrrghhh, that's horrible! As you said, Captain, I hope it does the right thing.
I offer free chair massages for our local soldiers, and their families. People who are going through enough stress as it is don't deserve to have it added to.

I think I am right in saying, that here in England, soldiers are regarded as being at home (in the way that their mail is addressed to BFPO (british forces posted overseas) - I would have thought that they qualify for anything that would be available to them, wherever their English base is.

I thought military personal could get in-state status in any state. I guess I was misinformed about that.
I hope they reconsider their decision for that man. That's just wrong.
