How would moving states senior year effect me?

Recently my dad has been doing interviews and one of his top picks was a job in Anchorage, Alaska. I have moved schools every year of high school (unstable home life) and kinda use to it. I would be extremely sad (possibly depressed) if moved due to my good standing with friends around town, i live in San Diego, california. A bit funny but my first worry was the snow which i have rarely experienced. I also have a bf but thats a worry done the list considering we are already doing long distance to some degree. My biggest concern is the affect on college it would have and not grades or testing but what would be my residency? Im really determined to go to SDSU due to it having my major, location, dorms are my option and i like it, they also have my graduate program, much extracurricular activity, overall i can see myself at SDSU and the cost is very affordable for since i will be paying for my education on my own. Will me moving effect my California residency status if only for a year but i have been in San Diego all my life?

    This seems to indicate that you will lose your California residency of you move to Alaska with your parents, but not if they move but you stay in California.

    I know it's UC Irvine, not SDSU, but the law should be the same for all California universities.

    If there is any way to you can stay like with a relative or a shared apartment, you should.

    Looks like you have already decided what your college major is, but do see this page for more ideas, http://bitly.com/1kXtY4w and use this college selector tool to search for schools other than SDSU, http://bitly.com/19Wfl8K.
