First question: Can you afford the CSU’s?

There is no funding for OOS students. No scholarships, grants or anything for non-residents.

It is a public school funded by state taxpayers.

Priority admission goes to locals first.

You would be paying about $40K per year.

If you bring a car, which is needed in Southern California, your expenses will be even more impacted. Californians pay the highest rates for gas (outside of Hawaii and Alaska) and you will be driving often and sitting in traffic.

It is an impacted campus.

Your GPA and ACT score may not be competitive enough since OOS students usually have to have better stats than in-state residents.
