Posted something similar in regionals, just looking for more responses. Has anyone gone to gallatin msu first year to get residency then go to MSU second year? I've been reading on the residency forms at MSU and they say if you come only for school purposes they won't let you get residency. Is that only if I'm at MSU my first year?

Hopefully some of you can reply. I just want to keep costs low

Get a part time job, then you can say you went for work?

I think what they mean is if you're only living there during the school year(ie august-dec jan-may) then it doesn't apply to you. Get an apartment off campus(they're seriously much cheaper than dorming) and live there for a year. You should be good!

Well I don't really want to go part time or take a year off. I want to jump right into it if I can. But maybe I might have to do that. Idk yet, kinda last resort

pretty sure you have to not go to school full time in order to get residency/also work a certain number of hours a week while having an address that isn't a dorm and live there for a certain time per year (you usually have to prove this with like phone bills or bank bills mailed to the same adress monthly). I know it's like that for washington, not sure about montana state laws, best of luck to you though!

Thanks man. And yeah it seems to be similar to what you just said. Basically my options are either
1. Part time and get residency after a year
2. Just do the WUE
3. Go to gallatin for a year and get residency then go MSU

But since gallatin is part of MSU I'm afraid it might be hard. Guess I'd have to get an apartment. Or maybe Utah really is the way to go since it's easier to get that residency

Talked to an msu rep the other day. You can only take a certain number of credits so it appears that ur not a student. Im pretty sure you can work with msu to keep you on track to becoming a resident. But then again why would you want to be a resident in a state that only smokes meth and eats roadkill?

I know MSU sucks. But I'm a sucky person so I think I'll fit it. Lencon gets to much hate for other schools:/ I think the meth addicts and the roadkill eaters will accept me more

It's a good idea to get a part time job during college anyway. Having a job as an adult shouldn't be considered a "last resort." Adulthood has a lot of hidden expenses and having money to spare is always a good thing.

I'll have a part time job no matter what. I said last resort is part time school or taking a year off.

Idk how it would work with gallatin but I know the hardest part about getting residency for college kids in mt or ut is being financially independent. I just took the wue because I'm not paying my own way or taking loans

My only experience is with Idaho which I think has a very similar setup as Montana. Most of my friends trying to gain residency would get an apartment (need the bills as proof of residence) take a few classes at the school they wanted to gain residence at and then also take some college classes online from different sources (and work, because working and money are good...) Just make sure your credits will transfer if you do online stuff.

I think you're planning correctly, having to pay to live on campus your first year sucks, and paying out of state tuition also sucks.

I would recommend calling MSU's financial aid office. It's their job to help you figure out how to afford school and they are usually quite helpful and can help you plan so that you can save as much $$$ as possible.

Do yourself a favor and take a year off. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have started college until I was 20-21. Go move to a ski town, unwind a touch, grow up, get serious, then go to school. Go move to tahoe for a season, it's going to nuke there.

Do WUE, its a great deal and then you don't ever have to worry about residency unless you stay after collge.

I'm not familiar with Montana's residency options, but it sounds like you have to live there and not go to school, so you'll be making a decent sacrifice of time vs paying 150% of instate tuition when montana's instate is pretty fucking cheap dude haha.

Yeah I guess it all depends on how much scholarship money I get.

The residency is a pretty hard process now that I look into more. It sounds like you can only go to school part at MSU, but I've heard of people going to gallatin for a year and then MSU.

im a freshman at msu right now trying to get residency, Im taking 6 credits (maximum allowed for trying to get residence), and working at least 30 hours a week. thats the bulk of the requirements besides getting a Montana drivers license and proving that I'm at least 51% financially independent.

I would recommend just taking a year off and working in bozeman/big sky/bridger

I don't want to take a year off at all. Either do my parents. I might be leaning towards U of U more and go SLCC-> U of U to save money. Doesn't make sense to get in a lot of debt.

both are great options so it really just comes down to whether or not you like bozeman or slc . personally i chose bozeman because i fucking hate slc. Bozeman is such a cool town and super close to great skiing. SLC is a big city thats pretty close to great skiing. MSU has so much skiers and snowboarders concentrated in a smaller town so it makes i super easy to make friends who shred, SLC is more like denver where theres a lot of people who just live there because they feel like it, but also people who shred. If you haven't toured MSU yet i highly suggest it, the office will give you all the residency options and I can show you around !

I'm planning on coming over winter break. That's when I'll have time and maybe I can ski a day while visiting to get a feel for it.

And I've been to SLC quite a bit, since it's only 2 hours south of me. I have never been to Bozeman tho, but I'm sure I'd like it

Go for it...might as well. I like it quite a bit actually. My class has like 4,000 students in it, so you can definatly find a group of people with simular interests. I have like 6 friends from my floor that ski....and I think there is somewhere around 300 ish in the ski club.

Downtown Reno is a shithole....but it's kinda fun. There are definatly very nice parts of town.

It's a top 200 university....so the education is actually quite good, and they seem to pride themselves in that.

If you ever come through to check out the school you can crash in my dorm and we can shred some tahoe snow!
