Question
I am looking a movie from the 40's I think.  It is about a
mother returning to college after having her family.  I think
her daughter was a Senior at the same college while the mother
was a Freshman.

Answer
Hi Wayne,

Yes, I know the film you're describing.  In fact, without knowing it, YOU almost named the title itself, in your question !!

It's the 1949  film "Mother is a Freshman" starring Loretta Young and Van Johnson.  You can read the complete plot on TCM:

The film was never released on VHS or DVD, although copies can be purchased at "The Video House":
