Bringing your college student back home for the summer

I am in the process of moving two college students back into my house. I'm curious what challenges those of you who have college students have faced when the kids come home. My biggest challenge at the moment is what to do with all their "stuff" they manage to accumulate. I will probably be storing some unpacked boxes for next year. Other challenges I've faced include the kids’ schedules being on college time. They think nothing of staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning and want to sleep in late to make up for it. Another issue is what time are they actually expected to be home when they go out now? They are so used to staying out all night if they want. I don't even want to think about what they will contribute to the mountain of laundry.

Don't get me wrong, I am VERY happy to have them home, but it does come with an adjustment period. How do some of the fellow bloggers handle these situations?
