I don't think that was it. I personally think most college towns are pretty liberal places and kids in and just out of college are very impressionable. They thought things were bad and Obama was preaching change. They bought into the whole "Change" slogan, but didn't really know anything behind it. Plus Obama was very good about having his face and logo everywhere these young adults were as far as TV and internet are concerned. Thus, the whole "American Idol" style popularity campaign.

Also, many of these kids, educated or not, know nothing about the real world. That is why a bunch of them will probably change their voting style in the next election or two as they eventually wise up and realize the ramifications of their voting actions instead of falling for some sort of hollow, utopian slogan of change.
