How much privacy/space do you give your college-aged kids who live at home?

I'm 23 years old, living at home with my parents while attending my last year of university. They have have a habit of sneaking into and searching through my room on random occasions; every single time they do this, I am out of the house, so they can snoop around and do anything they want. Well 2 days ago, I think I've had it with them. I came home from work to find that they had gone through my room again, and I had left sex toys (and other things I'd prefer to keep hidden from them) on top of my bed. I was embarrassed as heck, and absolutely FURIOUS. I've talked to them about needing and respecting my own private space, as I am now an adult, but they do not give a damn. I don't do drugs, don't drink, and do not get in trouble with the law. In short, there's absolutely no reason my parents would have of snooping around through my room. I take my privacy very seriously, and this incident seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back (my parents are also very controlling in other aspects of my life, controlling what I eat, when I go out, etc...). After this upsetting ordeal, I really want to move out immediately, but am hesitant seeing as I pay for school, food, transportation, etc... myself, which would mean that I'd have to delay university and graduation if I were to move out and use my money on rent instead of tuition (while taking out bank loans for tuition). My parents are seriously driving me up a wall, so I'm considering this route. What's your opinion -- are my parents crossing the line here? For those parents whose college-aged kids are staying home while attending university, how much space, freedom, and privacy do you give them?
