> All domestic students have to pay AT MOST of 1 year of out of state tuition, because you establish in state residency in your first year here.

Is that sort of thing normal? Not the 1-year time frame, but is it normal that living on campus changes your residency such that you can qualify for in-state tuition? That just seems bizarre; unless you are moving to the campus (or nearby) full time (that is, not "going home" between semesters and during the summer), it feels kinda wrong for that to establish residency.

I grew up in Maryland and went to college in New York, but I never changed my residency to NY. I don't recall any of my out-of-state college friends doing so either (for example, we all kept our home-state driver's licenses).

I don't think this is correct based on these:

  - https://www.collegeconfidential.com/articles/can-pay-state-tuition-one-year-another-state/

  - https://www.ucop.edu/uc-legal/_files/ed-affairs/uc-residence-policy.pdf

It states that "Physical presence in California solely for educational purposes does not constitute the establishment of California residence, regardless of length of stay. "
