Besides, students are usually 18 or pretty close to 18 when they're in their first year. Some parents, however, do pressure their kids. My parents never did, but I know that inside, they would have preferred that I majored in Life Sciences (premed) than history/drama. Looking back, I somewhat agree. Drama was bad for me, and I'm now somewhat embarassed that I did that.

I'm sure a lot of parents would have prefered if they kids had made different choices in certain aspects of their lives. However, by the time we're 18 and heading of to university/college we should be able to make our own desicions and learn from our own mistakes.
Parents should stay out of it. They can offer suggestions/guidence...that's what they are there for, but not to pressure anyone, that's not there job. As an adult, if you can't make your own descions, well I don't know what to say...
