Is it hard for out-of-state high schoolers to go to college in California?
I have a dream college in California, but I heard that you had to take a lot of SAT II's. I've already taken two in freshman year and sent them to this school, but can someone please elaborate>

Answer 1 :
To get a useful answer, you need to tell us the name of your school and your SAT scores plus GPA. Also freshman year is too early to send stuff to the school.

Answer 1 :
If you've lived in new york for two years, you are not a california resident and you will be required to pay out of state tuition. Unless you are in new york as an out of state student or are military.
Answer 2 :
It depends, you may just be going to school in NY and for 2 years, and your parents are still in California...etc. The condition can be complicated. Basically, it does require that you prove physical presence - < To establish residence you must be physically present in California for more than one year (366 days) immediately prior to the residence determination date of the term for which you are trying to classify as a resident.> Also it depends on how you explain and provide documentations on all those. Please check out the "California Residence for Tuition Purposes" links below, as long as you can argue your case, you may be able to reclassify or get tuition waiver.

What state is better for going out-of-state to college? California or Florida

What state is better for going out-of-state to college? California or Florida?
I live in the midwest and have always wanted to go to a university by a beach. I can spend around $25,000 max. Please list any of the universities that you think might fit my criteria. I live in a decent sized city so I would rather not go to a university in the country .Thanks

Answer 1 :
You can come to UCF in Orlando, Florida. If you can get in it's only about 45 minutes from a beach... It's a good school, and it has some apartments near by if you don't plan on sleeping at the college. California is a lott better, but that just depends on what you're into. If you're into the warm weather, and the wonderful humidity during the summer than have you'll have a blast. The colder, more mountin ranges by the beach are california. You can go to Irvine... in california.
Answer 2 :
I live in CA and hands down FLORIDA is cheaper. I know lots of people who have moved from CA to FL and say that it is cleaner, cheaper, and nicer beaches. I don't know anything about the schools. You can easily check them out online. Type in state of florida universities. State colleges are cheaper than universities also. There will be an out of state fee but still it is cheaper than CA. Also, there are other states that have beaches tied to their borders.
