A statutory residence is the place where an individual spends the most time during the year. It is the place where a person intends to return to after any absence.Basically, a driver license and address, as an adult, make you a resident. Education wise, they have a more "historical" perspective. A student shall be classified as a Pennsylvania resident for tuition purposes if that student has a Pennsylvania domicile. Residency is based on a person's domicile (a person's existing and intended fixed, permanent and principal place of residence). An individual must be able to demonstrate an established intent to reside permanently or indefinitely in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
