I applied to a state college. And tonight I was registering for classes (really late in the night, I know, but whatever) and I'm looking at my "Charges Due" list AND IT'S LIKE $6,000+ !!!!!!

WTF.

So, I go through the list and see what the hell is going on that I need to pay all that and what do you know, I have to pay a "Non Resident" fee.

WTF.

Turns out my account lists me as a non resident. And now I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. And didn't they see my address was listed in the same state for god's sake? GOOD LORD.

I'm going to call the school tomorrow, but I am so scared they're going to reject me now. I mean, what the hell. WHAT THE HELL. How did this even happen!?

This happened to me before. Calm down. It's really not as big of a deal as you think. All you have to do is provide proof of residency(electric bill, drivers license, something with your address on it basically) and fill out a form and they will change your application over to being an in-state student, instead of out of state. It only takes about 2-3 days for them to change it. It's really not a big deal. Just call the school tomorrow and let them know the mistake.

Reading your post really calmed me down lol. So thanks for that.

But I'm so ticked off now! It's really hard for me to get over to the school (my parents work and I don't drive) so I don't know how I'll be able to show them anything soon. And the class times I listed were so hard to get as I was seriously scrounging for whatever good times were available.

Blahblahblah. So much hassle again.

I think as long as you show a proof of residency then they'll fix your rates and it'll be fine.
