<p>I’ve read lots of threads, but cannot find the answer to my question…
So I’m 18, in a CC in Indiana now, and some credits are transferable to UC’s. I went to CC to raise my GPA and SAT scores.
After graduating, if I go to CCSF for 2 years and then transfer to UC - Berkeley, while working and supporting myself, will I have to pay OOS tuition for UCB?
I know I will have to pay OOS tuition for CCSF, and it is not a problem for me.
In this case, some of my transferred courses will be from out-of-state, but most of them will be from CCSF.</p>
<p>why would you spend 2 years at CCSF if you are already at a community college?</p>
<p>Because if I transfer from CC in Indiana, I’ll definitely have to pay OOS tuition for UCB.
Also, these students are low-priority. I am studying accounting, and want to study economics at UCB</p>

<p>right, but why are you doing two full years at ccsf? why not just one? or why not move here now instead of staying in Indiana?</p>
<p>That’s what I was gonna do. But will I be able to fully support myself financially right after graduating from high school in SF?..</p>
<p>The website says: “Bear in mind that even though you will probably not submit a petition to change your residency status until the end of your first academic year at Berkeley, you must start the residency process as soon as you arrive”.</p>
<p>So does it mean that if I do everything right, I will be able to become CA resident after the first year and pay in-state tuition for 2nd, 3rd and 4th years?</p>
<p>You do realize that San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities in the US to live?</p>
