For anons in/went to university, how often did you parents visit you? I'm starting my first year and my mom has been saying they'll come visit me once a month or so. Is that normal? My university is a two hour drive away from home. However one of the reasons I wanted to go to uni was to become independent from my parents, I mean it's not too bad that they want to visit every month since they'll bring me groceries and we'll go eat out to a restaurant. But I was only planning on seeing them every holiday or so.

Tell them schoolwork is so much more time-consuming than you expected that it would be better if you visited them on your rare free weekends than if they came when you had a tight deadline. And do visit them a couple of times before letting it trail off.

This isn't too uncommon. There is usually some sort of holiday once a month (thanksgiving in November, Christmas in December, etc.)
