...if I wish to practice? I know Cali doesnt have reciprocity with any state.
So say I move, would I have to go to law school in that state all over again or just study for their bar exam?
How hard/possible is this?
Or should I move after undergraduate and go directly to law school in whichever state im expecting to live?

Got it, makes perfect sense, but mind how hard is it? Anywhere I could read into it more?
 
Assuming you are talking about attending a nationally accredited law school located in California, then all you need to do after you graduate is take the bar exam in the state where you want to practice. It's no big deal.

If, however, you are talking about going to one of the CA schools that is only accredited in CA, then you need to understand that other states will not recognize your law degree and will not allow you to sit for the bar.
