I'm friends with people who moved out of the house right after high school and I'm friends with people who have yet to leave home in their late 20s. It isn't uncommon at all for a 20 year old to live with his parents these days.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm Joe-stereotypical-American-college-student with regards to the housing situation...lodging at school when classes are in session, go back to the parents' for winter and summer break. It's all on their bill, though, so I consider myself in training for real self-sufficiency when I'm up at college living without their direct interaction but under a roof that they've provided. I'm not going to push for an income I can live off on my own until I've at least got my undergraduate degree.
