non-residence fees?

<p>Does most ppl go to UCs pay the residence fees or non-residence fees?</p>

<p>I just receive a letter from berkeley which will not grant my residence status for tuition because i was not finanically independent for the last 2 years. Anyone has the same problem here? Aren’t most students go to UCs financially independent? Do they all have to pay the non-residnece tuiton fees as well?</p>

<p>I thought that’s only if you are over the age of 24. I’m pretty sure the large majority pay instate tuition.</p>
