another idea: you might go for a few weeks of making curfew every night (so you have some lobbying power!), then say "look, I can handle this responsibility, and you need to respect that I am an adult."
You might also point out that if you were living in a dorm, they would not be able to impose a curfew at all, and that you shouldn't be prevented from having the same college experience that you would if you weren't commuting.
