they probably think you're a potheat, growing hydroponic weed in your basement. Thus, the "need" to see you electric and water bills ;)

1)actually move in to the area
2)Rent the cheapest apartment possibel and just keep that.
3)Findsomeone that will be willing to let u change water or electric bill to your parents name
1. Umm, the economy is down and houses here are still going for $700K+
2. That's $2000/month for me to miss a class? Screw that.
3. What if I just said that my parents are going away for an extended period and I'm living with them for so long?

Use someone else's address and say they are taking care of you. Your excuse can be that your parents are traveling and you are in the care of family friends. If they ask where are they traving too just mumble some country only 15 human beings know where it is.

Be aware that some schools have the right to visit your home during certain to verify your address.

It will never fly saying you are staying with a friend. The school is interested in where the tax money is coming from. If your parents are paying taxes to township A, township B isn't going to want you going there regardless of who you are crashing with.

Honestly, my mom works for a school administration. This stuff happens all the time and it's rather easy to spot.
