Looking back on their own college days through a haze of nostalgia, adults tend to view that phase of life as carefree. But this isn’t necessarily how today’s students experience it, according to an mtvU/Associated Press survey. And new technology is a mixed blessing for many of them.

When asked about “how things are going in your life in general,” 40 percent said they’re “very happy.” But 41 percent gave their lives a more muted grade of “somewhat happy,” while 8 percent are “neither happy nor unhappy,” 6 percent “somewhat unhappy” and 5 percent “very unhappy.”
