Am I a Massachusetts resident if I attend school here?
Yes. A dormitory, apartment or room can be your legal residence if you intend to
make it "home" for the time being. You can declare yourself a Massachusetts
resident and still receive financial support from your parents have bank
accounts, register a car, or file state tax returns in your out-of-Massachusetts
home. It is illegal for a community to set different registration standards for
students.
Your Massachusetts registration and declaration of residency may have
implications, however, for your tuition, insurance, taxes and any scholarships
and/or loans you might have from your home state. If you have a scholarship
funded by the state or a privately funded scholarship designated for a local
student, be sure to check the terms of your scholarship before registering to
vote in your college community.
