Most college students are older than 18, so ILP doesn't apply. Ancient history lesson: Til the late '60s, American colleges generally played a "parental" role in the lives of young people away from home for the first time. They set curfews, prohibited alcohol and enforced standards for decorum on campus. Few of their students were under 18.

But today, I know of no colleges that take on ILP, although Pepperdine has (or used to have) a requirement that Freshmen live on campus or at the parent's home. Pepperdine also has no alcohol and other very restrictive rules.
(ps: I worked for a University for nearly 15 years up until a few years ago).

The report last evening stated many student were taken to the hospital for medical care even though no alcohol was served at the event. Bad Ecstasy?
