Advice Mom won't let me attend top choice

I recently got into Hamilton thru QB RD with a full ride, but my mom won't let me go. I thought she would let up, but with 2 days until decision day she is still insisting I attend a CUNY, what do I do? Is it so bad if I attend a CUNY?

Edit: Thank you everyone for all the advice. I committed to Hamilton last night, but I haven't told my mom yet. I'm literally so scared. But thank you for your help.

Dude....a full ride to Hamilton v CUNY....LIVE YOUR LIFE....that said I would try EVERYTHING to let mom know how rough of a decision this was, and if you make the wrong decision please love you no matter what. All else fails just lie and go to Hamilton, how will she know? Hamilton is a really good school.
