A few thoughts -

I agree that you can't move into the house and get rid of your mom's stuff. However, I don't think anyone has mentioned this but there's a difference between clutter and hoarding. If your mom is a hoarder that's a totally different conversation. I grew up in that and didn't realize it was what it was until years later.

If it's just clutter, it's fair to ask that your space be your space. At 28, and coming out of a relationship, you need space to start over. You're an adult moving home which will bring it's own stresses. Adding onto that the pressure of starting school and the emotional stress of your break up you need a space to call your own. Your mom will understand that.

Give it some time and maybe your mom will be interested in help organizing or decluttering. But it may just be her style of decorating.
