Actually, I think it's more like the parent having a contact in the area in case of emergency -- it might be a matter or providing information more than actual physical involvement. Example: Your kid at college gets a really bad toothache. Does anyone know a good dentist nearby?
When my d. went traveling alone to the east coast to visit colleges, another CC parent was a great help in giving me advice about local transportation options (how to get from the train station to the college campus).
