Welcome
I saw your post at the help desk, and just wanted to comment that Wikipedia's treatment of economic subjects is far less comprehensive than many other subjects, so I look forward to your involvement.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  15:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Glad that someone noticed my help desk entry! I hope to get involved in WP too. Thanks for the welcome!--Colonel House (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear Sphilbrick, I was going through my talk page, and remember reading your post. I am sorry I haven't been active here lately; school and other things have been killing me. But I promise to treat the economics articles to a revamp when I can. --Colonel House (talk) 22:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi Colonel House. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. Worm TT( talk ) 09:20, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Moving to college, filling out paperwork
Re this post: There is no change of residence form. Your legal residence status is determined against different laws depending on your purpose. If you are looking to move to another state and pay cheaper instate tuition the first year, states are wise to that scam and have strict residency requirements when it comes to out of state students paying in state tuition. Per this, people can apply for residency status in Connecticut after living and being full-time employed in Connecticut for six months so long as they are not in the state primarily as a full-time student. You graduate from high school in June 2013 and go to college in Connecticut in September 2013. Note how that is less than 6 months so that you won't qualify for in-state tuition. Most kids will attend college in Connecticut full-time, so note how that prevents you from moving into Connecticut and qualifying for in-state tuition for your four years of college. What about graduate from high school in June 2013, immediately move to Connecticut into full-time employment and start college the following January 2014? I'm guessing the instate residency law says something about measuring the time from when you are accepted to attend the Connecticut college rather than when you actually move to the state. What about graduate from high school in June 2013, immediately move to Connecticut into full-time employment and start college in September 2015. That may lower your chances of being accepted into the college of your choice. They got 'cha at out of state tuition for the four years you are there. As for asking the school, I don't think it is in the school's best interest to advise you how to pay them less money as an instate student. Maybe look for some free advise elsewhere on the internet (like here. As for "Who do I have to inform of my moving," no one! Just up and move. Seems odd when you first start to move around the U.S., but that's the benefit of Freedom of movement under United States law. As for receiving mail at your new address, just fill out Official Postal Service Change of Address. Be very careful that you don't fill out the form in a way that causes your parent's mail to be forwarded to your new place. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 10:50, 22 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for telling me about this. I know that if I study in Connecticut, I am not eligible for aid, so I am not moving for that reason. I am just wondering what legal paperwork I would have to fill out, if anything. (The college I am planning to attend is Yale University, a private institution.)Thanks for the info! --Colonel House (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
