Going to a 2-year college then to a university for your upper division classes saves you ALOT of money. But, given the budget problems in California, I do not know if every community college guarantees the transfer to a university now. You might want to check on that.
I would not lie about your status. You risk expulsion!!!! In California, you are able to pay the same tuition as legal residents if you qualify for AB 540 status. When you apply to a college or university and inform the particular institution about your undocumented status, they usually send you follow-up documents that inform you about the California Law AB 540; an application is also included. If you apply and you don't receive these forms, go to the institution and ask how you can qualify under AB 540 or else you are going to CHARGED BIG TIME.
