When I was 18, the rule in my house wasn't dead set, but you were expected to at least give the folks an estimated return time.
With classes, I often stayed and studied afterwards so if I had a night class that didn't get out till 9, it might not even be 11 before I was thinking about heading home.
At some point you have to trust that you've done a good job all these years and give her a chance to try things on her own, with your confidence behind her.
In my parents house, you could live at home rent free if you were going to college and doing well. If you decided not to go or were wasting your time, you were then expected to pay rent or move out.
