I'm trying to picture how their university lives could possibly impact me more than when I was joined at the hip with them for every little thing when they were young and I'm drawing a complete blank over here.

Every kid will be different.
In our case (my daughter) it was keeping her marks above the insanely high minimum average to get into the program she inadvertently was accepted into and then to stay in it the first two years again due to marks. Her marks were good, very good in fact. But there was zero room for error and it was stressful on her. Living at home so we saw everything she was going through and the stress transferred to everyone.
Once she was into 3rd year and actually taking courses she enjoyed it was a different story.
