Yes.

I was thinnest at college, and though a lot of people would chalk that up to youth, I don't think that's it. Less stress, no commute (just a walk), walking between buildings for classes, no work preparing meals, no work cleaning up after meals, easy access to fitness facilities, and fifteen hours of classes plus homework was still less time than a 40 hour work week. I think if you gave me all of that now, 20 years later, I'd still manage to be a hell of a lot more active and healthy.

I don't mean to say college was easy or stress free. It wasn't. But relative to the rest of adult life I would say it's easier.
