Really? I don't see any restriction on declaring a home a residence. The language is entirely based on days residing, not any kind of declaration It is entirely possible for a college student to spend fewer than 30 days a year at their legal residence. I know I did between college, summer job away, summer school and travel at least one year. If he were in the military he most certainly could spend more than 11 months not residing in his legal residence.

Additionally, the previous posts have strongly suggested that a dependent child does NOT have to live in Florida, just one of their parents to qualify as "in state" for tuition reduction.
