[QUOTE="Cam, post: 290619, member: 568"] What are you talking about? You went way off course there. Bud's statement is in regard to the immigration ban on people from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. Everyone who is at GT from these countries is an immigrant on a visa or who is working toward citizenship. Completely legal and, according to the [URL='http://www.usg.edu/policymanual/section4/C329/']University System of Georgia policies[/URL], does not qualify for in-state tuition. The primary issue is a properly documented student who would ordinarily have the ability to come and go to the United States and GT as they please, but with the current ban might not be able to ever return home without fear that they can't get back. I don't know where you felt like illegal immigration fits into this, but it's not related to the original post. Regardless, if you read the link I posted before, you'll see that they only qualify for in-state if they are classified as legally in the state. There are additional considerations for those who are lawful permanent residents and refugees, but they are still by definition residents of Georgia. All of this requires the necessary documentation to prove you are at the very least a resident, you cannot just waltz into Georgia and obtain in-state tuition so easily. As to your out of state move in issue, you need to live in Georgia for a full 12 months before the start of classes, which is a fair stipulation. Most acceptance letters are sent out between November to March of the previous year, which means you'll receive your letter long before you move to Georgia. There would be no other perceived reason for moving unless it's for school, so it's protection for the Institute. Lastly, I have no clue why you brought up your job's requirement of two IDs when it has no impact on your argument.
