conversation: User (nween): "I'm a computer science major at a school in the west coast, and I'm paying out of state tuition for this school. The total price of my first year was about $43,000, and between help from my parents and scholarships I only had to take out $17,500 in loans. \n\nI love the people I've met at this school, the location, everything. I simply love it here. I would hate to have to abandon all of these people and all of my new knowledge of this place, but is it truly worth it? \n\nI may or may not qualify for the scholarship again next academic year, because it requires a GPA of 3.2 by the end of the year and right now my GPA is 3.0. I received an email that this scholarship won't be renewed next year if I don't bring my cumulative GPA to 3.2 by the end of the semester. This scholarship paid for $6,000, so without it my total cost of this academic year would have been $49,000 and I'd be in $23,500 of debt instead of $17,500.\n\nShould I really be here? Should I suck it up and go to one of the instate schools I don't really like? I really want to be successful and don't want to graduate from this school and realize, "what have I done?"\n\nEDIT: I have come to the conclusion that it is best for me to give up what I have here and transfer. Thanks everyone for your advice."
  Self: "Have you attempted to reclassify yourself as a resident of the state?\n\n~~A year should be enough to be reclassified.~~ Check your school's website.\n\nWhy didn't you wait a year in the new state?"
  DoxedByReddit (DoxedByReddit): "Most places I've seen (OK, I guess mostly just Florida) don't count time actually attending school towards residency because it doesn't prove an actual intent to reside other than attending school."
  lmneozoo (lmneozoo): "That's a lie. I went to community college for a year in FL then transferred to a state school once I got instate tuition.  This was 2013 so I guess it is possible this has changed. "
