<p>USC does not give priority to community college transfers, but a large number of USC’s transfer applicants are from community colleges. As a result, 64% of USC’s transfers come from California Community Colleges. Please see page 6 of the transfer admissions brochure: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0809/USC_TrnsfrBk_08v2.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/private/0809/USC_TrnsfrBk_08v2.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Please be aware that you will pay out of state tuition at California Community Colleges, and that in most cases you cannot establish residency for in-state tuition for the UCs if you come to California to attend a community college. You will be charged out of state tuition at the UCs even after two years at a California Community College, unless your entire family moves to California with you.</p>

<p>The out-of-state tuition is not a factor at Stanford or USC, which as Lemaitre says, are private universities.</p>
