Does working as a workstudy make you a resident?

<p>I'm OK resident but I goto school in california.</p>

<p>I work as a school workstudy so I can make some extra cash.</p>

<p>It doesn't make me a resident right? (ergo I shouldn't be punished for not registering my car in 20 days of entrance?)</p>

<p>Also I just got my w2 form back. To what state should I file my taxes to?
The thing is, I will probably never live in my home state again. Actually, I have no 'permanent place of residence' because my parents live abroad.</p>

<p>How do I exactly become a california resident if I want to become one?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
