FLL You are missing the point here.
This original poster did not say they had a "nice fancy house on the waterfront." They said they had a house "near the lake." This is a very big difference. Even that is not the point. They pay taxes here they should be able to reap the same benefits as every other contributing taxpayer.

Yankee, Do not lose sight of the fact that many graduates of the New Hampshire college system who are out of staters chose to make New Hampshire their home AFTER graduation. Thus making New Hampshire even greater than it was before.
They never said they couldn't afford the tuition. They said the $10,000 savings would be nice to help cover the tax bill on their property in NH.

Just because someone might own a second home in NH does not mean by default that they are swimming in money. Many of us scrape by to pay the bills, taxes, etc on these homes just to be able to enjoy the area part time.

Looking for a little tuition break for a NEW HAMPSHIRE TAXPAYER is hardly "...unethical and immoral at the extreme" to quote Yankee. Frankly that statement is mind boggling. I honestly do not know where to begin????? Immoral? That is an interesting accusation.

Sometimes very few full time residents put on the blinders and throw darts. Thankfully the majority of my friends who call New Hampshire home are not so shortsighted and closed minded.

Sammy I feel for you. Years ago it used to be a very simple process to change your permanent residency to NH. Unfortunately the state did pass legislature making it very difficult to do this. I do not think it is impossible but it is difficult. The New Hampshire College system is excellent. I have two siblings who are graduates and they are very successful. I am sure your son will do well there. There is a good chance he will call NH home after graduation and he will contribute his talents to make this state even better than it already is.
