UC OOS or IS?

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I just wanted some thoughts on my current living situation I have right now. I'm wishfully thinking about a UC school but tuition wise OOS is very expensive. You see, I live in a different state at a friends house since I wanted to go to a specific high school. My mom, however, lives in California. Can I mooch off my mom's residency cause right now I technically don't even live in the state I currently reside in? I read over the residency terms for UC's but got confused. (my brain doesn't function well these days)</p>

<p>Thanks much! </p>
