Reverse chance a newly minted middle eastern immigrant

I’m at the Lebanese American University (LAU). I didn’t register nor deposit for the fall term.
My parents’ preferred options would be me living with my brother, or finding a dorm in Texas / California in the same city as my relatives. She doesn’t support me physically living in their home. I’m going to Orange County on July 23 and possibly staying there if it ends up being the state of my choice. She said I should go for a cc in California. I don’t mind that but it will end up being REALLY pricey. I don’t think they can afford it. I have to also be independent according to California state residency laws for in state tuition purposes. I could get in state tuition if my parents moved in with me I believe. That could happen but I also am not sure it will.

Another option is Texas, and specifically Austin.
