I agree that parents are way too involved once a kid leaves for college. My old roommate's Mom would call at least once a day to check on her daughter. And God Forbid if she was not called back. She once even drove the 4.5 hours to school to check on her daughter when she wasn't called back for 2 days.
However I think sometimes the colleges play a right into the parents hands. I know at my alma mater, the school started notifying parents if their children were found to have drugs or alcohol if under 21. If the school can't tell the parents their children's grades, why can they notify them of disciplinary action? (actually I think all students sign a waver to allow it, but you don't have a choice).
