<p>It probably depends a little on the school too. My friend just graduated from an arts conservatory (one of the best in the nation for his craft) and he was saying that nobody in his school knew who Mitt Romney was. This was a few months ago, during the Republican Primaries, so Romney was all over the news at that time.</p>
<p>When I got to college, I lost most contact with the outside world until I got a news app on my iPhone.
In high school I used to watch the news most nights and have time to read news online. My first year of college, I was simply too busy to read online and I didn’t have much time or access to TV to watch the news.</p>
<p>I think that the main way for a college student to stay connected is using technology during slow times of the day to catch up.</p>
