I posted this yesterday in a different forum but I only got a couple of unsure responses so I was wondering if some people here could weigh in. Sorry if it’s the wrong place, I’m having a hard time figuring out where exactly it fits. Basically, I’m a senior in high school. I have divorced parents. I currently live with my mom in Texas and will graduate from HS here. My dad lives (and works, rents a house, and pays taxes etc.) in California. If I took a gap year and lived with my dad in CA starting this summer, would I be considered a resident for tuition purposes for applications next year, particularly at UCs/CSUs?
moderator’s note
Op is asking the same exact question in the California Colleges forum.
