The adverb "mostly"

Mostly, its customers are college students.
Its customers are mostly college students.

Can you tell me what "mostly" modifies in each sentence?

Thanks, teachers.

I think in second sentence you put more stress and emphasis on "college students". But it doesn't change the meaning.
