Is World of Warcraft causing a rise in college dropouts?

guardian.co.uk — The game can be more pernicious than other addictions. "If somebody has a chemical problem, you usually see side-effects from it, but you can't tell for a long time if someone is just sitting in front of a computer. I have seen straight-A students who go to Fs because they think World of Warcraft is more important."

  • StatiK69, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1Rising tuition is a bigger cause... WoW is just something to fill the free time, much cheaper. A semester's worth of books would equal what, 2 years + of WoW? Dropouts are just trying to get the biggest bang for their buck. That's what happens when you take Economics 101 in your first semester.
  • jupaneanu, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1I can see how it can make addicts drop out of school. It's a good thing some of them still have time to eat and drink.
