5/26 I keep getting the Forefront magazine from the College of Engineering
as well as massive desperate spam mails asking me to donate money
to college of engineering, as well as to the general Berkeley
campus itself. I'd like to 1) stop getting all useless publications
that fill my mail box, 2) stop getting spam mails from the College of
Engineering, 3) stop getting spam mails from Berkeley itself.
How did they track my real address, and how do I do make them
stop? Thanks.
\_ Why don't you donate, just to the Gold fund (the one where
they want 1000 alumni to donate $25). y
they want 1000 alumni to donate $25).
\_ I am not the op. But every time I get these, the
fact that Berkeley disapproved my in-state recidency
3 times on the ground that I went home for Xmas and
Thanksgiving always makes me think twice about donating.
\_ probably rejected u cuz you can't spell or write english
or figure out how to properly work the system like many
others have easily done to get residency.
\_ Well, if you "went home" then I guess they were right.
You realize what residency means, right?

\_ None of this home/not-home shit has anything to do with
him donating or not. If he hated UC he shouldn't donate.
If he liked it and had a great time, he should consider
donating. -- paid in-state, hated UC, won't ever donate
\_ Don't be an ass. "Going home" does not mean "having
your residency there", and as an out of state student,
his tuition difference was a lot more than $25. -John
\_ If his home wasn't here then he's not a resident. Period.

\_ dim wit
\_ moron, my mother still says she went "home" (to the
midwest) for christmas. She has lived in california
for over 30 years, do you think she is not a resident?
\_ She might say that, but it's not technically
true. If it was, then she's not a resident either.
My mom says she goes 'home' to Holland, because
she grew up there, but it's just a figure
of speech.
\_ dim wit
\_ I've not lived in CA since 1997. I'm not legally
a resident anymore. My home, however, is there,
capisce? Also, UC admissions disagrees with you:

\_ How can your home be in CA when you haven't
lived here for 10 years? Also, I read the
UC page and you'll have to point out there
UC page and you'll have to point out where
it disagrees. I don't see it.
\_ fucking dim wit
\_ My mom lives there. I grew up there. I can
always go back there. Ergo, it is home. And
the UC definition lays out the conditions
pretty clearly. Visiting your family over the
holidays does not contradict "relinquish(ing)
residence in other states." It's not that
difficult to understand. -John
\_ And, yet, the guy above says that's what
UC told him. My guess is that it's
because he didn't merely "visit family over
the holidays" like he says.
\_ Well then that's a different story and
not what we're discussing :-) -John
\_ I just think the use of the phrase
"went home" is telling. That phrase
is often not used literally and
can mean "visited my family" but
in context (guy is applying for
and then denied residency) I think
it's to be taken literally. He
never intended to establish residency.
I wonder if he still lives in CA.
\_ Jesus Christ dim wit, you must
have the the word don't you?
Just admit you're an idiot and
move on.
\_ Yes, I must have "the the word".
\_ You think donating will encourage them to stop?
\_ Why don't you write them to tell them to stop? The address
is in the spam mail. Then they will stop. Give them 4-8 weeks
to update records though. Also remember that engineering dept
and alumni house might have different databases, so if you
continue to get spam, then just write another letter or
call. Be patient. Finally, don't be a fucking cheapskate and
donate something, give something back, make UCB better, you can
specify what fund/program you want to donate to.
As for how they track you: they got your SSN, DOB, last known
addresses and more. Figure it out, college graduate. |

| tinyurl.com/fycbf -> www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/ca_residency.html Paying for UC California Residency Information California view To be considered a California resident for purposes of fees, an out-of-state student must have lived in California for more than one year preceding the residence determination date, relinquish residence in other states, show an intent to establish residency in California and demonstrate financial independence. Unmarried undergraduates from other states qualify as financially independent if they were not claimed by their parents or others as dependents for tax purposes for two preceding tax years and if their annual income is sufficient to meet their needs. All married students and unmarried graduate and professional students from other states qualify as financially independent if their parents or others have not claimed them as dependents for tax purposes for the preceding year. Other out-of-state students who qualify as financially independent include veterans of the US armed services, students with legal dependents other than a spouse, students with both parents deceased, students who are wards of the court, and students who are at least 24 years of age by December 31 of the year they seek to be classified as residents. Students who cannot establish California residency under these rules will be required to pay out-of-state tuition as well as UC and campus fees. Non-California resident students paid an additional $17,820 in tuition and fees in 2005-2006. UC systemwide fees are $6,780, and campus fees range from about $250 to $1,250. The health care allowance/fee averages $670 and may be waived if a student has equivalent coverage. Given the recent increases in student fees due to the state budget crisis, you should expect the total costs for 2006-2007 to be higher. |
