<p>This sucks!
I was born in CA lived there for like 10 yrs, then I had to move.
My father remained a CA resident, but he became a TX resident a few yrs back.
Now, I have to wait for 2 yrs to establish residency.
No darn loophole in
establishing financial independence.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of your replies. I am just glad that I have U.S. Citizen. Atleast I get about 14K even though I am OOS.
So I am done with the calculation and it seems like I will have to pay 30K/year. I also have the possibility that I will be able to become a resident in two years. Do you think it's worth attending UCSD? It's such a great school for Bioengineering and a good opportunity in my life to spend 4 years in!</p>
