Each family is different. As a college student I stayed at home. I lived within a fairly loose set of unwritten rules - general respect type stuff really. I did not have a specific time to be in the house though, and I was away for lots of weekends on music playing road trips, or camping trips.
My son is 18 now and in college. He is starting by attending the college I work in, so we carpool at the moment. He is actually probably willing to continue as is, but I am working on helping him become more independent. (is that an oxymoron?).
Things that work for some families may not for yours. Communication with her would be key, and keeping things somewhat flexible if need be. In the end, it is your house, and all people within it need to be within a minimal guideline.
