My friend in Thailand is about to finish his first year at a university. The thing is, he is a U.S. citizen and graduated high school here in U.S. but went back to Thailand for university. However, would it be possible for him tot ransfer to one of the UC and still remain as a sophmore? or does he have to wait until his junior year to transfer? Also would he be considered as an international student or a U.S. student?

btw. his grades are solid 3.6

not too sure about your other questions, but even if he's a US citizen, i think he's gonna be considered an international student. For UC's at least, you have to live in cali for a certain amount of time in order to qualify for the in-state tuition.

my friend is a US citizen, but he went to high school in Hong Kong, and went back here for college, but i think he's considered as an international student-- i know for sure he doesn't pay in-state tuition.

I think that's something that you'll have to ask a UC advisor. if he graduated from California and just went abroad for uni, then I don't see why he would be considered an international student. If he's still a US citizen and California student, then he wouldn't be consider out-of-state.

Now, it depends. Some studies in a UC allow you to transfer as a sophomore. Others don't, I believe.
