<p>Wherever you end up for college, just make sure you don’t jeopardize your in-state residency. You have a significant advantage in applying to your state medical schools if you don’t mess it up by registering to vote out of state, changing your driver’s license, etc… Going to college out of state is not, by itself, going to change your state of residency - but know the rules for determining residency in Texas.</p>
