Colleges are confronting two intersecting pressures on student wellbeing: chronic phone overuse and growing reliance on AI for emotional support. Campus health leaders warn that habitual, excessive phone and social‑media use links to anxiety, sleep disruption and academic decline, prompting some institutions to pilot healthy‑device initiatives and time‑blocking strategies. New research from Youth Futures, Surgo Health and the JED Foundation finds diverse AI‑use personas among teens and young adults: while many use generative AI for study and help‑seeking, a minority of ‘emotionally entangled superusers’ rely on AI for emotional connection—raising red flags for counselors. The reports stress context matters and urge campuses to integrate AI literacy into counseling and outreach. Student‑affairs offices now face practical choices: revise counseling intake to screen for harmful AI interactions, train staff on digital hygiene, and craft policies balancing technology use with privacy and access to mental‑health resources.
