I think if they were even just 30% OOS like many states hold it at, they would be much more interesting places for undergrads.<<




How so? It’s not like California has a homogenous populace in the first place. I live in SoCal and at least 2/3rds of the people I know moved here from somewhere else. Ever go a Red Sox or Yankees game at Anaheim Stadium? Nearly as many people cheer for Yankees or Red Sox as do the Angels. The place is filled with people from the east coast.

When I was attending UC Davis I was a California resident who not that long previously had been an Oregon resident and prior to that Florida. The OOS people are already here in abundance; but they’ve just lived here long enough to claim CA residency.
