I have the 13" Air and my Brother and best friend both have the 15" Retina. You cannot go wrong with either one. Depends on how heavy of video/gaming stuff that needs to be done.
Doing regular video editing and photoshop and stuff the Air is more than efficient. My friend was editing 4 HD video clips on the fly off of his Thunderbolt HD... that I would not be able to do with my Air.
For a college student I would probably recommend the Air unless he is planning on doing a lot of gaming or going into an engineering program where something memory intensive like CAD will need to be used.
