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.

Yeah, that whole 18-yo thing has been evolving over time. 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).

There are plenty of religious colleges that do.
