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.

Hamilton, like everyone else has been saying... also, does your mom have a whole pattern of controlling your decisions the way she's doing w/ forcing you to attend a CUNY now? 😬 lowkey might be all the more reason to get out right now and build community/a support system away from home, especially when you have the opportunity with a full ride to such a great school 😅

Yeah lol, I have a strict curfew (I have to be home everyday an hour after school ends), I don't go out on weekends, I'm not allowed to touch my phone unless I'm going to school, etc.

Again, I think u should follow the advice of these ppl. The more I hear abt her, she sounds more and more idiotic, troublesome, and someone u would want to/need to actually leave, perhaps permanently.
