Should I bother applying here?

<p>As an Out of state student, you will get little to no financial aid from the UC’s since they are funded by California taxpayers. If you come to California as a student, you will not be able to establish residency unless you are an independent, paying taxes, getting a drivers license etc… or if your parents permanently move to California. See link about establishing residency.<br>
You would still have to pay around $55K/year until you are able or when you can establish residency.
