(no subject)
big life decision time.
i think i have to take the year off from school to establish residency in washington.
it's $4,000 for three quarters if you're a resident and $15,000 for non-residents.
it'll be realllly hard to find a job in olympia and i'll only have a month to do it cause i'm almost out of money.
and i only have maybe two days to decide if this is what i want to do. my only other option is to agree to about $26,000 in loans to go to school this year.
ANY ADVICE?

To establish domicile in the state of Washington, students must provide documentation showing they meet the following guidelines:
1. Students must prove conclusively that they have not come to Washington State primarily for educational purposes. Current guidelines require students who are enrolled for 7 credits or more a quarter must be employed at least 30 hours per week at a non-student job to overcome the presumption of educational purposes.
2. Live in the state for at least 12 consecutive months as legal residents. A legal resident is an individual who has relinquished all valid legal ties (e.g., driver's license, voter registration, etc.) with their former state of residence and established such ties in Washington in accordance with state and local legislation.
3. Establish legal ties:
*Employment (if taking more than 6 credits a quarter during the first year of being present in Washington State)
*Driver's license/state ID. Students must obtain a Washington State Driver's License within 30 days of arrival if they have a current out-of-state driver's license. Students who do not possess a driver's license from any state, must obtain a Washington State Identification Card.
*Vehicle registration. Students who own or drive a vehicle in Washington, must be registered in Washington.
*Voter registration. Students who have a current out-of-state voter's registration, must register to vote in Washington.
*Establish a bank account in Washington.
*Medical/automobile insurance independent of parents.
4. Be financially independent for the current and prior calendar years.
Examples of other factors that may help students establish proof of domicile include: disposition of property in the former state of residence, relocation of household members, participation in local community organizations, and generally becoming involved in activities that will help prove their intent to make Washington their official place of residence.
