I was just wondering that even if you are undocumented, are you still able to go there as an NY resident?
I have lived in NY for about 8 years now, but I was supposed to leave 7 years ago because my visa expired. I know that to go RCC one must be a resident of NY but do you have to be a legal one?

If you graduated from a New York high-school then you should qualify for in-state from any school within NY.
Here is the description from CUNY (which can be applied to other schools as well):
Quote:
In-State Tuition Issues
All students, including undocumented students, benefit from a 2001 New York State law that expanded who can qualify for resident tuition. That law allows students, including undocumented students, to pay resident tuition if they:- were enrolled in CUNY for the Fall 2001 semester, and qualified for in-state tuition at that time; or
- attended a New York State high school for two or more years, graduated, and applied to attend a CUNY institution within five years of receiving a New York State diploma; or
- attended an approved New York State program for the GED exam preparation, received a Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED) from New York State, and applied to attend a CUNY institution within five years of receiving the New York State GED.
