What should I do? Please help.

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, I will be a senior this year and looking at colleges is coming pretty quick. Right now I want to apply to CPP or CSUF, both in California. I live in Colorado but I lived 12 out of my 17 years there. I want to apply to both in the next couple of months but the tution for being out of state is very expensive for both colleges. So here are my questions:
1) If I get accepted into both CPP and CSUF but then take a gap year to move down there and get residency, will I get in the following year?<br>
2) If I move to California right after I graduate and live in my own apartment,(or live with family and friends) will I qualify for in state or will I still have to wait a year?
3) Is it bad to enroll into a JC for a year or two and then transfer? (JC is still pretty expensive.) </p>

<p>Thanks everyone. </p>

<p>I'll add any new information if you have questions.</p>

<p>You need to look up the rules for establishing in-state residency in CA. These two institutions might have different rules.</p>

<p>Usually you must move to a state, get a job and a place to live, and be self-supporting for at least a year before you go to college. You usually can’t even take community college classes during that time.</p>
