I can understand why your parents are not very open to the idea of sending you alone in another country. Do you have any family over there or know anyone there? How would you manage alone? I know it might look unfair and you may believe that you would manage all on your own. I do not want to sound like an old grumpy lady by saying this, but being alone in a different country would be even harder for a young woman than studying online. There are so many challenges and potential problems that you have not yet imagined. I know I will say something you probably do not want to hear right now, but you should trust your parents. They know what is best for their daughter.
You mention your mothers opinion a lot, but what does your father think of all this?
Yes, using books and studying at the library can be another way.
Being in another country alone, with friends-who may or may not have one's best interest at heart, can be a
huge risk. Stay safe! (don't be influenced by glamour over safety)
