I don’t know much about this, but my only caution to you is that I wouldn’t be so sure that just living there one year and getting a license/voting would cut the residency part. Because my friend, he’s lived in California the last 5 years or so since moving across the country from Georgia but he still was counted as a Georgia resident when he applied to the UCs. I’m not sure how it works, but I think you should look into the residency very carefully just to make sure 
You don’t want to have to stress over convincing them that you’re an in-state resident and shouldn’t be charged out-of-state fees, that’s a really horrible process.
