<p>I don't understand why they would have to pay out of state tuition for all 4 years. I'm transferring anyway, so it would be 2 years, but it should be pretty easy to establish residency in a year. I'm in a messed up situation, I just recently established my California residency for a CCC but now im forced to go back to my home state because of family issues. I have to finish the rest of my requred 60 semester credits out of state, so im going to lose my California Reisdency. I still want to transfer back into a UC though, im not worried about establishing residency, just concerned about how im going to pay for the huge first years tuition.</p>
