I recently began graduate school back home in Oklahoma. When applying, I put my driver's license information on there (it's an Oklahoma license). I also stated on there that I was an Oklahoma resident. I guess I assumed that they would ask me for some proof or something of said residency. I never heard boo.
So, summer comes around and I get a tuition bill for my internship class. It's like $1600. That's actually quite a bit, but once again, I didn't think much of it and mentioned it to my dad. He says, really? That's a lot. So I investigate. Turns out they are charging me out of state tuition. I call the office and they say I have to PETITION for in state tuition. I'm thinking to myself, how does this work? So, after 4 weeks of forms and tracking down information, we submit my petition and it turns out very quickly they decide I am indeed a resident and deserve to pay in-state tuition (which rocks, because it actually means I pay no tuition for Fall and Spring).
So I guess my main question is, if I wasn't a resident of Oklahoma, what was I? It was like I was lost or something. Good thing I've been officially residented again. That could have been scary had it continued on longer...

Not that it's the same, but when Alex applied at UCO we had to bend over and grab our ankles to get them to accept her as my wife, and therefore, a resident. They want their money.
