Hi all - Thought I'd try and see if I could pick the brains of some ponding buddies. 
My oldest son has just completed his Associates Degree at our local college and wants to continue to his bachelor's in either political science or journalism, and possibly go on to law school after that.
Our children pay for a their own college with whatever help we can muster (get the violins out - we have eight children.) Anyhow, he heard somewhere that if he set up residency in Georgia or some such state he could attend state schools there much more affordably than here in NY. (Even free for independent poor students???)
Does anyone know what the deal is with state universities in North/South Carolina, Virginia, and or Georgia and what the rules are for residency etc? Any advice you could offer a hardworking young man who can barely make ends meet as it is?
