Have you been to New Orleans? Are you SURE you’d want to live there? Are there some compelling arguments regarding academic appropriateness that make it a good fit for you?
… or, do you just want to get away from home? If you truly, deep-down believe it’s the right place for you then make a list of the reasons that is so. If you’re rational about it, your parents will (hopefully) come around.

That said…NYU would be a fantastic opportunity for most. Make sure you’re not discarding that in the name of “freedom”… you’d still be living “away” in the dorms, right?
