In state tuition for out of state student?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am looking for ways to not have to pay out of state tuition at UCLA, if possible.</p>

<p>If I buy an apartment in California, and then apply to the school, will they see that I am planning on staying and let me pay in state?</p>

<p>Is it not that simple? Are there no exceptions?</p>

<p>This question has been asked a lot.

<p>California admissions people are very savvy about people trying (every trick in the book!) to avoid paying out-of-state tuition. If you’re at all dependent on your parents for money, and they’re not California residents, it’s pretty much tough luck. (As it should be. A state-supported school is for state residents.)</p>

No and no.</p>

<p>How old are you?</p>

<p>Who would be purchasing this home? with whose money? Who will make the mortgage payments?</p>

<p>even if you were to get instate, since you didn’t graduate from a Calif HS, you’d be ineligible for most forms of UC aid.</p>

<p>What others have said is all true.</p>

<p>In addition to all that, California is the last state in the union that should be giving resident tuition to non-residents. California is dead flat broke.</p>
