<p>What the requirement is to be considered an in-state student for Texas? Is it like one or two years? I live in California, and right now, one of my options is to live in Texas with some friends to cut the cost of UT waaay down. I would also just be "vacationing" back in Cali.</p>
<p>25 views and no one is responding, thats lame.</p>
<p>Google state residency requirements for Texas. It's hard, but I think I found a clause which states that any student originally from out-of-state attending a Texas state insitution is <em>not</em> considered a in-state resident for tuition purposes. As an out-of-stater myself, I think they've closed the loophole.</p>
<p>Still, I'm going to try, should I attend UT, by registering to vote in Texas, getting my vehicle checked in Texas, getting Texas tags, etc. </p>
<p>Why aren't you trying to attend UCLA or UCB instead? Just curious.</p>
<p>The reason y i am applying there is because of its business school, top ranked. You should do some research into it if your thinking about applying. Those r some good ideas about the voting and vehicle stuff. Anyways, I did apply to UCLA, but the total costs add up to about the same as UT, but UCLA doesnt have finance. Same with Berkeley. And Berkeley is only about 1 hr from my house, so thats too bad. But Im really hoping i can live there for a year and get the in-state tuition cost.</p>
<p>Does anybody else know?</p>
<p>do some research on state residency. you would probably have to live in texas for at least a year, and there might be some other requirements, such as having a permanent address here, and such....but yeah, do your own research.</p>
<p>and might i add, you could switch places with me. id be up for ucb. =)</p>
<p>I dont think i would switch places with anybody for where i live. And i have done my own research buddy, this was just my second to last resort. Are you applying to UT? And what are your reasons for applying to Cal? Just curious.</p>
<p>UCs > UT-Austin</p>
<p>UT finance > UC econ (no finance)</p>
<p>yeah, im tx resident and have been accepted to ut. just gotta wait for ucb and ucla now. why would i go there? well, the weather and food is just better (come on, CA has in-n-out, lees sandwiches, and so much more...yummmmmmmm). also, im assuming that the premed programs at the UCs is slightly, if not largely, better than at ut. but, since going to a UC school would cost me so much (30k + 10k living costs), i probably wouldnt go anyways. =(</p>
<p>30K and 10K? I dont know where u get ur info, but those numbers are wrong. For me going to UT, its only a little bit more expensive than the UCs. Tuition is more expensive at UT than the UCs cause Im OOS, but living expenses for UCs is double than UT. Plus, UCs dont have finance as a major. So for me, I have to go out of state. But I sort of want to.</p>
<p>Tuke is, I'm assuming, living in Texas, so the costs of a UC would be pretty much the same as a private school (40K/year incl. room and board), while UT is only about 15K/year.</p>
<p>yeah, kcirsch is right. im in TX, and therefore out of state. out of state tuition would cost 30k and living costs are around 10k, which adds up to a total of 40k. UT would just be 7k plus living costs, which is around 3-8k. that leads to a total of around 10 to 15k a yr. that is much,much,much cheaper.</p>
<p>Ur guys' numbers are still slightly off. Cal's OOS tuition is $23,000, it's room + board is $12,500. So it isnt 40K. UCLA's OOS tuition is $17,000, it's room + board is $12,000. Which is only $29,000 (lol, only $29,000, still a buttload of money). But ya ur right, UT is still a lot cheaper for u than the UCs. But for me, the costs of UCs and UT are about equal.</p>
<p>yeah, it would help if the UCs gave more financial aid to OOS, but they give little to none. or else i would consider it if i get accepted.</p>
<p>and offtopic, you will miss in-n-out if you come to UT. i dont even live in CA and i miss it. =(</p>
<p>Texas food > California food</p>
<p>dude, whatever. tell me what in texas is good. all we have is good bbq (smokey bryans, in dallas), houstons chinatown (some places are good, some are not so good), the omnipresent chipotle (well, thats addictive), and a bunch of nasty texmex restuarants. oh, and amarillo has a free-steak-dinner-if-you-can-eat-all-the-steak restuarant. lol. CA has everything we have + more. =(</p>
<p>I'd say the food is about equal. Cal has a lot of different good stuff, but Texas has got good Mex and BBQ. But tuke, about ur "it would help if the UCs gave more financial aid to OOS, but they give little to none". UCLA's average need-based gift aid: $11,316. Berkeley's average need-based gift aid: $10,647. UT's average need-based gift aid: only $6,750. And ya Im really gonna miss the 'animal style' cheeseburger with a milkshake from In'n'Out. I'll get over it.</p>
