I'll agree with that, colleges seem to think it's their job to separate parent / child. The idea being that the child is 18 and legally responsible for their own decisions. At least that's the reason they give you, personally I can't help but wonder if the real reason is because they can manipulate and run all over an 18 year old and it's a lot easier to deal with than an adult.

While I can appreciate that thought pattern, they're still freaking KIDS who's portion of the brain that deals with reasoning isn't fully developed. The fact that they're willing to graduate colleges with 100k of debt with a degree they can't do a damn thing with alone tells you their reasoning isn't fully developed
