Make sure you follow the residency requirements to the letter. That might mean you need to start a semester or two late. Most colleges are not eager to reclassify OOS students, and if you start as an OOS student you are usually stuck in that classification for the duration of your time. Reclassification is usually at the discretion of the college.

If you decide to stay in NM, you should check on their policies if your parents move OOS. A lot can depend on the source of your income. You don’t want to be in a situation where you are OOS in both NM and CA.
