刚查了一下FAQ，好像不一定行。。。
http://www.bus.umich.edu/studentlife/faq.htm

Q: Can I qualify for in-state tuition if I've been living outside Michigan? Can I qualify
after I've been at Michigan for a year?
A: In a nutshell, no. One key question for in-state tuition status determination purposes is
whether you intend to stay in Michigan (in other words, establish "domicile" in Michigan)
after you finish Michigan's Ross School of Business. The burden (by "clear and convincing"
evidence -- meaning with great certainty) will be on you to prove that you will hang around
after you graduate, and the fact that you will have arrived in the State of Michigan
coincident with the start of school will make your case subject to extra scrutiny and
suspicion. If you can't prove that you came to the State of Michigan for a reason other than
to attend Michigan's Ross School of Business, you'll be classified as a non-resident (for
tuition rate purposes) and have to pay out-of-state tuition.
The plain-English determinative questions for in-state tuition are, in so many words:
1) Did you come to the State of Michigan at least a year before you started at the U of M?
2) Did you arrive in Michigan for some reason other than to attend Michigan's Ross School of
Business?
3) Is it likely that your Michigan's Ross School of Business education will somehow benefit
the State of Michigan after you graduate?
If you can answer "yes" to all 3 questions, you may get the in-state rate. Otherwise,
prepare to cough up the out-of-state rate. If it makes you feel any better, the in-state
discount for the MBA program at Michigan is not as large as you might expect, usually only a
couple thousand dollars per year. All of that said, can you claim Michigan residency for
paying state income tax, voting, etc.? In most cases, sure. The State of Michigan will
happily take your tax revenue, license plate fees, and your presence in the state for U.S.
Census purposes. Just be sure some other state can't claim that you should be paying primary
state income tax there.

不过州内学费和州外学费的差距也不大，基本可以忽略不计
