apply for residency to reduce cost?

<p>You don’t just “apply for residency”. You have to meet the residency requirements of the state. In almost all cases, this means your family (that would be your parents) and you MUST reside in that state. In your case, since it sounds like you live in California, your state for in state residency for tuition purposes is CALIFORNIA, not Arizona.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but unless you live and work in a state, and pay taxes to that state, you are NOT a resident of that state and are not considered an instate resident. In most cases the state of residency for instate purposes is the state in which your PARENTS reside…and for you it sounds like it’s California.</p>

<p>Sorry…you just can’t become a resident of Arizona…unless you and your family move there ASAP.</p>

<p>California has wonderful instate universities. Why don’t you apply to a bunch of the instate U’s in California???</p>
