Yes, but there’s usually some waiting period so you end up paying out of state for a few semesters.

One drawback to this is if your kids end up wanting to come home for graduate school, they won’t get the preference given to in state kids. Medical and law schools at public universities often give their spots to something like 90% in state. Public med schools in particular.

Don't worry. If they choose grad school, I'll be doing everything in my Godgiven power to make sure it isn't here.

You don't lose your instate status for graduate school if you attend a college out of state. You still list your parents house as home of record.
