How to get auto insurance from a state that your college is in rather than your resident state?
Question by Kurt: How to get auto insurance from a state that your college is in rather than your resident state?
I live in New Jersey where the auto insurance is relatively expensive. However, I go to college in South Carolina where the auto insurance is a lot cheaper than in New Jersey. How can I get the cheaper South Carolina auto insurance? Do I need a South Carolina driver’s license to do this? Should I buy a car from a South Carolina dealership?

You can’t legally–you have to register and insure the car in your state of legal residence, in this case NJ. However, call your agent and check into a “college” rate–many companies give a discount if you’re at school over a certain distance from home. That may help.
