    You clearly misread the post and are getting all upon the OP.
    To the OP, it seems your best bet might be to wait until you have been a resident of your state for 1 year (or the minimum time required to qualify for in-state tuition). You said you already have your license, so that should be good enough to prove residency when the time comes.

    No, he wasn't.
    So if you like to participate in discussing immigration cases, the first thing on your To Do List should be to figure out what makes somebody an illegal immigrant. I give you three letters as a clue: an E, an W, and an I.

    When my son came to the US legally - Southern California (K2) he was told by community college that he had to provide greencard and have lived here a year and one day in order to qualify for in-state tuition.

    People are ignorant, particularly average folks in the United States.
    Yes, proof of residence in the Golden State for one year is indeed a requirement to be eligible for in-state tuition. Since very few of the 310,000,000 people who live in the U.S. have Green Cards, residence is usually proven by showing a state-issued driver's license (Driver License in California) that was issued more than a year previously or even utility bills in the prospective student's name that go back at least one year.
    No school and no state-owned institution of higher education in California, which includes all California State Universities (though I went to UCLA), is authorized to even inquire about a prospective student's citizenship or immigration status. Other states handle this differently, but since I live in California for close to 20 years now and went though all of this myself, I know that with certainty.

    As far as I know F2A is a category and you get is perm resid card and no visa.
    You will have to wait until you have your GC to enroll in the school, maybe first semester you might have to pay out of state.

    Education is a state, not a federal domain. I studied first at a community college, then transferred to a reputable university in California and never had to show anything other than my driver license and submit my SSN. In order to be eligible for in-state tuition, I had to mark that I am a resident of California, which I was, despite being unlawfully present.
    Most school require their students to be a resident of the state for at least a year. In California they are forbidden to inquire about any prospective student's citizenship or immigration status. You ended up in a redneck state, so there's not much you can do at this point in time but wait a little longer.

    My wife (LPR) is attending both a local community college and state university, and because we've now lived in the state for a year, she pays in-state tuition. The schools based her state residency on her driver's license issue date. The only time her Green Card was needed was when she applied for Federal Student Loans. I don't think she ever had to show her Green Card to any of the schools. In fact, the Supreme Court has ruled any laws that attempt to deny access to state schools as unconstitutional, and that means as a student you should be treated no differently. I'd recommend you find the Foreign Student Services department of your school and speak with them. Find out what your rights are and they will be able to help you. Good luck.
