<p>I am a Texan who is interested in UC Berkeley. If I attend for one year, is that enough for me to establish residency and pay in-state tuition? I have an uncle whom I can live with in California.</p>

<p>“NONRESIDENT UNDERGRADUATES: The process of obtaining California residency for tuition purposes is extremely difficult for undergraduates with nonresident parents (this includes transfer students from community colleges and other post-secondary institutions within California). Virtually all nonresident undergraduates with nonresident parents remain nonresidents for the duration of their undergraduate career at the University.”</p>
<p>Probably not without a parent here. :(</p>
<p>But UT Austin is richer than Berkeley anyway! :)</p>
