| Residency at Cal Poly
The rules at the UC schools are different than in the CSU system. At Cal Poly (part of CSU system), you can apply for residency after living in state for a year. You have a list of objective measures to take to show intent: CA perm address, bank, drivers license, vote, state taxes, etc. Financial independence is desired but not required. Subjective measures includes listing anywhere you live for that first year, especially anytime out of state. It seems likely if you live with parents out of state during the summer, one might question your intent. Then again, when they kick you out of the dorms during breaks, are you supposed to live under a bridge in CA or go home to mama for a few hot meals? |
