Did he become obese during that time? I have noticed a massive explosion in students involved in computer graphics of any kind, becoming very fat in their first year of college. I think it is a very real problem, and trying to convince graphic design students and animation students that they should get exercise and live healthy during their studies is very difficult. It is very real problem among these students I feel , since they may not recover from the obesity they gain in one to two years of stooped in front of a computer.
