Can International Student gain California Residency at UC's?

In response to your thread title…no.

You won’t get instate rates after attending college at a CA public for a year. And as an OOS student…you won’t receive a nickel need based aid either.

But you are an American citizen…not an international student.

If you want instate rates in CA, your family needs to move more than a year prior to your attending college. So…start packing ?
