Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Show her by doing everything by yourself for yourself like cook for yourself clean the house clean your room without being asked and just do everything that your mom has to do for you on your own and then talk to her about how you want to live independently and how it would give you the oppurtunity to make your own decisions and that if she doesnt let you go now then you will never learn anything for yourself this is all the stuff i did to convince my mom and dad and now im living on my own in my own condo happily :) good luck:)

There's no way to negotiate some less restrictive rules?
Anyhow, if she's that concerned, offer to go apartment shopping with her. That way, it would let her know that you are responsible to pick out a safe neighborhood and safe roommates. Promise to call and what have you.
Another thing is to try to negotiate things. She can't stop you if you're up in the library doing a late night project. Or even later evening seminars that you're required to go to.
To gain independence, prove your responsibility. That'll make her trust you more.
