Having been a college student with a small CUV, I will respectfully disagree on four reasons:

1. Fuel economy penalty. (smaller hatch will get similar utility while cheaper at the pump)
2. Price penalty. (usually, the CUV will be more expensive)
3. Poor handling (equivalent car will handle better, although most CUVs turn pretty well nowadays)
4. You will always be the one driving among your friends (probably the biggest factor. Don't think your friends will throw in for gas either. It rarely happens)

If I were in the market right now, I would be looking seriously at the B-segment. You can't go wrong with any of the heavy hitters in that segment; Cruze, Focus, Elantra, 3, or Golf TDI if you do lots of highway)
