<p>i live with my older brother in san francisco most of the time and i go to city college of San Francisco. but legally i am a dependent of my mother who lives in Palo Alto, about 45 mins / 30 miles away. i put my legal AND mailing address as Palo Alto for everything because my living situation isn't too stable (i tend to go back and forth) and it's just more convenient/safer to have all my stuff go to my mom's. </p>
<p>will the UCs consider it a problem if the address i use on their application (Palo Alto) is some distance away from the college I am actually attending (San Francisco)? i am applying this year.</p>
