Even though you might be a geek, gamers in general aren't. Imagine that.
College is a great place to learn about anything you'd ever need in life. It's also a great place to party hard. There are some who think that one conflicts with the other in a way where it's detrimental to the education of young adults everywhere, but a new study claims otherwise.
Basically, a lot of college kids play games. People might assume that games get in the way of grades, since all gamers do all day is sit in front of a computer or a TV and game all night instead of study all night. Well, the Associated Press has an article that reveals the truth. Here's a preview:
Roughly two-thirds of college students play video games, but the image of a nerdy guy who spends all day in a dimly lit room blowing up computer-generated bad guys is off base, according to a new study.
College gamers are not necessarily male — or anti-social hermits. And while about a third of those surveyed admitted playing computer games during class, the games generally don't conflict with their studies, says the researcher who conducted the survey for the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
How lovely. Go read the whole thing and see if any of it applies to you.
