DITTO!
This is the tuition paid by residents of the state where the school is located. Our of state people pay a higher amount.
The cost of tuition to students who live there. Students coming from out of the area have a higher tuition.

Most public universities, and also some private ones, generally have two forms of tuition. There is tuition for residents of the state where the institution is located, and there is tuition for non-residents. The resident tuition is generally considerably lower than that for non-residents.

Different institutions have different requirements for who qualifies as a resident. At some, you only need to own property in the state and pay state taxes, while at others you also have to live there for a certain period of time to qualify for resident tuition. It is important to note that if you go to a four year university, and you do not qualify as a resident, the simple fact of living there while you go to school does not qualify you as a resident. You are still considered a non-resident, even if you have lived there longer than the resident requirements, because your normal legal residence is someplace else in another state. Generally, the way to become a resident is to relinquish your residence in another state, and transfer everything to the new state, including your driving license, your vehicle registration, your voter's registration, your banking, and, of course, your full time home. You basically have to show intent that you plan to be a full-time resident of the new state, and that you aren't just making a few small changes for tuition purposes.

I hope that helps explain it a bit for you.
