Should I move out of state during my senior year in high school?
It might make a difference for college. Doesn't CAL give their HS grads free instate tuition at state schools? I know NM does, but WI does NOT. Check that out, as that can be HUGE. WISC is a much smaller state with more rural sensibilities (hunting) which has 13 state universities, with UW-Madison one of the best schools in the country. Their other schools are medium-sized schools where you can obtain a good education, but 2nd and 3rd tier. WI gives reduced tuition to instate residents and has reciprocal agreements with MN. College Admission standards for the best schools, Berkley, Madison, will be very similar as they recruit nationally. It's very difficult moving in your senior year, particularly as you're almost 1/2 of the way through the school year. It can be done and can be a growth process, and prepare you for going off to college, but it can be a lonely, difficult time, moving then. You need to be outging, gregarious and willling to make the first move to make friends. Are you deeply involved at your school? Are you in sports, clubs, student leadership? Are you likely to get some awards? If yes, I'd say Stay, but if NO, then the move should make little difference in your prospects. Best of luck making this difficult decision!
Moving to California for high school senior year for college in state?
Nope. Not unless your parents stop counting you as a dependent. States have gotten a lot smarter about this process than they used to be, so some of the tricks that worked even 10 years ago simply won't fly today. If your parents claim you as a dependent on their taxes and their primary residence is not in California, you will not be considered a California resident for tuition purposes.
Moving states senior year of high school?
So I'm a Junior and I've lived in the same small town in California my entire life. My parents are getting divorced and my mom and younger sibling are moving to Texas to be with family. I'm torn between going with her or staying with my dad (who I don't have a very strong relationship with) on one hand, I have good friends in California (one I've known since kindergarten) on the other, my relatives live in Texas and my mom (who I have a good relationship with) will be there. Also the high school in Texas is very good and I love the programs and academics. Only thing is that in Cali I already have a secure position to be yearbook editor and chief and possibly student body president. The school in Texas has everything my school in California does, but even better programs, I just probably won't be able to get the same positions. It's a really tough decision, and I'd like to know if it would be really hard to make new friends, or if colleges might like the positions I could hold in Cali better? Thanks in advance!
What are the best states to move to from California? I want to move but am afraid to because I know most other states hold disdain for us.
These answers that I have read are interesting and, in my opinion, ignorant.People outside the state of California tend to believe that all of California is liberal. The majority of the citizens are, but the majority of the geography is not. If you are off the coast, you are in a very conservative area. You are in essence in, Oklahoma already.So answer your question, where in California are you moving from? Are you moving from, say, Fresno, which is a very conservative area because you really want the liberal vibe of San Francisco? Then move to New York City, Seattle, Portland. Want to move from San Francisco because it is too liberal and you want a conservative area to live in? Move to Dallas, Birmingham, Cheyenne. Notice I didn’t list states? Because there is no state that is 100%, let alone 70% liberal or conservative.The purported disdain has more to do with perception than reality. A 30 second conversation with people anywhere can overcome that.
Can I get in-state tuition by taking a gap year and moving to that state?
I live in Texas, but I really want to go to school in California. The problem is that out-of-state tuition is around $24,000 more than in-state tuition. Even with scholarships, I'd be up to my chest in student debt for years! I'm curious if by taking a gap year, and then moving to California for that year if I'd be able to apply for in-state tuition. I know some colleges actually "encourage" gap years, and think that students taking time off to explore career ideas and come back to school as a brand new person. So I'd definitely use my gap year to do stuff like that as well. I'd apply for internships, and get a job. I'd do all sorts of volunteer service.
Say I decide to move from another state to California and go to school there for a year. Later I decide that after that year I want to transfer to another school in California like UCSB. Can I get in-state tuition for the school that I transfer to?
A2A. Say I decide to move from another state to California and go to school there for a year. Later I decide that after that year I want to transfer to another school in California like UCSB. Can I get in-state tuition for the school that I transfer to?“The process of obtaining California residency for University of California tuition purposes is extremely difficult for undergraduates under age 24 who do not have a parent living in California. This includes transfer students enrolled at community colleges and other post-secondary colleges/universities in California.” See University of California, Santa Barbara.Bottom line: I do not think that this would be the best way of getting a degree from the University of California. The out of state tuition is roughly the same for a private university. I suggest you get an undergraduate degree at another university and take a job after you graduate, and after a year, apply to graduate school where the California residency rules are different.
Should I go to a college out of state?
So it's always been my dream to go to a college in California, but my mother has been talking about possibly moving the family to New York. I'm still in high school and if I move, I'd finish high school in New York. But, all of my college picks are in California and there's only one school in NY that isn't too bad but I'm not all that interested in it. What are some things I should consider if I do choose to go to school basically across the U.S from where my family is? I'm also worried about the relationships I'll build in the process of moving to NY and then leaving to California. I haven't really been looking into many schools in NY (I'm starting to ) because I've been so set on going to a school in CA
