How to declare California Residency

<p>I live in Nevada now and I am graduating this year but I would really like to go to California for college. If I take a gap year after high school to move to California with my family who have lived there their whole lives, can I establish California residency? I wouldn't be going to school until after the year is over. Please give me any advice at all.</p>

<p>If your family moves with you, it would be much easier to establish California residency since they will file CA income tax.</p>
