saw this pop up as a headline, but which side is right? to me, i dont see how they are different than international students, if they pay out of state, then daca status students should as well
they are not citizens/immigrants so they are foreign students studying in the US, DACA is a substitute for a student visa so they can stay for the time being (hell if they were truely worried about DACA, they should be on a student visa to begin with, and their legal status wouldnt be in question)... no extra "privileges" though that other foreign students do not get.

They should not be considered "in-state" when they shouldn't even be in this country to begin with.
citizenship status does not necessarily dictate residency status for tuition purposes
tuition classes tend to be set by residency status, not citizenship
No. Since the early 2000s or so, internationally popular public state schools (those that are more highly ranked) have been charging International Student tuition surcharges and extra International Student fees. Definitely based on citizenship status.
In most states, a new non-resident student only pays out of state rates their first year. By living and going to school they establish themselves as residents and pay in-state rates for their last 3 years. Most have no intention of remaining in their college state.
Since the above is based on actual residency and not legal domicile, DACA and others who have lived in that state for a year should pay in-state rates.

They aren't currently charging based on citizen status. It's based on residency. This whole thread is about DACA. They are allowed in-state rates based on residency even though they aren't citizens.

No, it's by citizenship status. By definition, students living in a college town to attend school there are "residents." Just not for tuition purposes. I already posted the UC system's explanation of that. Why do you think parents' income/assets are considered on the FAFSA (financial aid) unless a teen has gone through the legal emancipation process?
But you said that colleges currently charged based on citizenship. Just a few posts below.
They do. I posted several examples.
