Hello I'm 18 year old student who is currently in college.
Next summer I am going to do transfer to University.
My choice where, University of Arizona and Arizona State.
The thing is that I am tired of living in Arizona, the heat is not even the worst thing. I have very bad allergies towards the dust here. I personally am ready to move out of there.
I was born in Eastern Europe.
What states do not charge out-of-state tuition?
I have had preferences towards the NorthEast Coast. (but that isn't a huge issue, I just have ethnic russian in me. That is why)
Would anybody know more info about this?
Every state charges out-of-state tuition. Why should they not favor the taxpayers who pony up big dough to support their respective state university systems?
Contrary to K-Luv's assertion, Minnesota certainly does out-of-state tuition. The caveat is this: if you are from Wisconsin, North Dakota or South Dakota, Minnesota has reciprocal pacts with these states where they do not charge each other's residents full out-of-state tuition, though tuition for residents of pact-member states is still higher than in-state tuition.
Maybe similar pacts exist between Arizona and other states. It would behoove you to find out.
Minneapolis Community and Technical College did remove the higher fee posed onto non-resident students about a year or so ago as well as all other community and/or technical colleges throughout the state with the exception of maybe five (the state of Minnesota has a lot of technical and community colleges)
Other Minnesota colleges that offer the same tuition to both residents and non-residents include:
Bemidji State University both grad and undergrad, Minnesota State University-Moorehead both grad and undergrad, Southwest Minnesota State University both grad and undergrad, University of Minnesota at Crookston and University of Minnesota at Morris that I know of for sure.
I am also pretty positive that Macalester, University of St. Thomas, Hamline, St. John's, Ausburg, Bethal, Carleton College and St. Catherine all charge the same flat rate for both resident and non-resident. There are other schools that I am not mentioning as well. These are all private colleges that are pretty pricey to begin with, though.
I swore that the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities also did away with their non-resident tuition, but I guess that I was wrong on that one (by the way, I got that idea from their website about a year ago, I probably just read it wrong).
In Tennessee the only way that out of state students can be considered for in state rates is if they are in a major that the students home state does not offer. For instance, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers a major in Recording Studio Management (and similar Music Industry studies). Most states don't offer that and if a student from out of state has declared this as a major they are able to pay in state rates. The presumption is that the student is burdened with leaving their home state for college.
Good luck to the OP; have fun in college while you're learning something!

That is one of the reasons why I moved from Minneapolis to Maine, even though the University of Minnesota at Duluth offers my major. I don't get the in-state tuition rate, but my tuition is severely less then it would have been if I paid full non-resident.
How are your grades? If you keep them up, it might be possible to get a scholarship to a private school via transfer. However, they still take into account your high school record and SAT scores as well as freshman year grades, so keep that in mind. Private schools have more financial resources than state schools so they give better scholarships.
My kids both went/are going to private colleges partly because they could get very good merit aid that made them affordable. That's compared to our State Universities here in PA but even our state schools are much more expensive then Arizona State U's. Whatever college you look at, make sure to take transportation costs into account.
Have you looked at the cost of other State U's? You really have a deal in Arizona.
