Why all the hate? Out of state students certainly will pay more at a UC, but that is the practice for state schools in nearly every state. Out of staters are by no means unwelcome at the UCs. For example, for 2007 out of state applicants had a higher admit rate (25.3%) than in-state applicants (23.8%) at UCLA:

And I can’t put my hand on the exact figures right now, but it’s much same story at UC Berkeley – OOS and in-state have nearly the same admit rate.
