Re:Two Michigan Schools have done it (Score 1)

My wife had a similar problem. Her parents were not able to pay for her college. When we got married we assumed everything would be OK. As it turns out some colleges have gotten wise to this scenario and require you to reside in-state for one year before applying for in-state tuition. Getting financial aid took a lot of work on her part but finally she can go to school full time with subsidized student loans. I took a different route: I got a job at a college. Most of them allow staff to take classes at little or no expense. It will have taken me six years, but come Jan 2007, I will have my college degree.
