You might compromise by finding a few schools in the areas they want and a few in the areas you want. Maybe you answer your own question when you mention that your family members lack the will to make something of themselves… maybe they are afraid you will blast off and never come back and they’ll lose you.

The more loving, respectful, and connected you can be the less they will fear this, if it is underlying their attempt to keep you nearby.

My D was annoyed at me for the opposite resason; we did NOT want her to go to school in our area. :)
