becoming a resident
I want to go to a college in a different state, but the tuition is so incredibly high because I'm not a resident of the state. (the state is California). How do I become a resident of the state, and how long will it take?
Thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
I would like to also add after so many I think 2 or 3 years of school in Cali your schooling becomes free.

It's actually over a year or 366 days. You have to get a California Drivers license and establish that this is where you intend to live. Here is a web site that goes into detail as to the details. I lived out there for 8 years and it really is an advantage to do it this way if you can. I lived in San Francisco and was able to go to school for free w/the exception of paying for my books. I went to school at a city college there and took some courses at UC Berkley. The fees residents pay are drastically different from those who are not residents. I had another friend who went to UC Berkley and he paid $30,000 a semester and this was back in the early '90s. I'm sure tuitions have gone up since then. Good luck to you.

It takes a year. It's not so simple as just living there for a year though. You have to change your permanant address to one in California. A girl in my high school did that and it worked out great for her. I'm not sure of all the details and the rules may have changed, so I would talk to someone from the college that you want to go to about it. If you're not sure which college yet, just contact a random one. They will want you to go to their college so they should be more than happy to help you out. They would probably know something about it at a post office too. Don't trust what people say on this site, find the information out for yourself. You would want to make sure that it's going to work. Good luck. :)
