Teenager : Do House Rules still apply to a College Teen?

Question

Our 18yo son is at college out of town. When he comes home for Christmas and Summer Breaks, can all house rules still apply? He will still do chores (& get a job), but what about our limits on video games and TV? Is that too much now? We would still like to have a curfew- or should that be eliminated, too? Lastly, we are hands off as far as what he does @ college as long as he keeps his grades up. But he took a 9 hr road trip to a football game that we would prefer he not have taken - due to safety, etc. We expressed our concerns, but left it up to him, even tho we would like to say no. Best way to handle?
