College argument with mother.

Problem/Goal: I don't want to attend a religious school for college and it somehow turned into an argument with my mother where she concluded that I didn't want to continue education anymore. I want to convince her to not make me attend college there.

Context: Since the start of my senior highschool year at g11, my mother, despite my refusal, transferred me to a religious school that is way farther than the previous school I was in. This made my school life a bit harder and stressful and me overall just disliking the school.

Now, during this break before g12 I learned from my mother that she transferred me to the religious school because she wants me to also attend college there, claiming that it was a free college with nothing to pay for whatsoever (the school is La Verdad Christian College if it helps, LVCC for short). Aside from the fact that I dislike the place, last time I checked, it doesn't have the course I want to take, being CS or IT.

Just in case it's necessary, I would add the fact that I have a bit of a strained relationship with my mother and family due to them being *really* religious (I am a closet agnostic). It's one of my main reasons I did not want to go to LVCC

Previous Attempts: Yesterday, I told my mother that I don't want to pursue college in LVCC, so there's no point in making me attend g12 there as well, and asked to be transferred back to my previous school (it would make my life much easier due to being much nearer from home which is what a majority of my problems with LVCC was). She immediately shut me down saying that other colleges aren't free (which is also true for LVCC) and that no other colleges are near. She also told me that if I don't do as she says, she will stop my education and that she will bring me to live with her to my step-father's place.
