<p>if you receive a scholarship…presidential/trustee/etc… are you required to live in the honors dorms or a certain hall? i heard you have first priority for housing if you get a scholarship…true?</p>
<p>Nah, you can live wherever you want. Not sure about the first priority.</p>
<p>I don’t know if they get priority (maybe for the honors dorms), but they do recieve their acceptances earlier than everyone else, so they can submit their housing deposit sooner. Since housing is first come/first serve as far as I can see, you do get the opportunity to get “first choice” when it comes to housing if you turn in the deposit quick.</p>

<p>do you get a california drivers license if yougo to usc from out of state? is this an easy process or no</p>
<p>no…I am from out of state and have kept my out of state license and it has never been a problem…I actually don’t know anyone that has changed it over if they are out of state because it doesn’t matter because SC is private…also, be wary that if you change it and are under your parents auto insurance this could be a big ‘no-no’ as your insurance, license, registration should be from the same state I believe…I think it would be more of a hassle and expense that you just don’t need…just keep what you have</p>
<p>Make sure you change your voter registration, though, unless you plan to vote absentee. There is a rather big election coming up. :)</p>
<p>It depends on how to get residency in the state, because you need to have residency in the state of California to get a driver’s license and vote there, don’t you? From what I heard, it takes at least a year to do.</p>
<p>Does it? My mistake (whoo international student). I was helping people register to vote for the primaries, so I guess most were CA residents changing their address instead of voting absentee.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think so, because I have a lot of friends who went out of state to college and voted absentee for the primaries in IL because they’re not all residents of their respective states. It differs from state to state, but I know it’s particularly hard in California because of the UC schools and proving residency.</p>
