Or is someone gonna jack it!?? -- Posted by whoami111 at 10:30 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 you better not play games in college -- Posted by outatime at 10:31 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 I was going to bring my video games but I have no time to play them -- Posted by Heart92 at 10:32 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 It's not a good idea. -- Posted by Ju5tin at 10:34 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Nah, i wouldn't do it... -- Posted by ProjectPat at 10:35 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from whoami111 at 10:30 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 you better not play games in college Why the fuck not? -- Posted by whoami111 at 10:35 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from ProjectPat at 10:35 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from whoami111 at 10:30 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 you better not play games in college Why the fuck not? u may not be able to concentrate in ur work -- Posted by ProjectPat at 10:38 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from whoami111 at 10:35 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from ProjectPat at 10:35 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from whoami111 at 10:30 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 you better not play games in college    Why the fuck not? u may not be able to concentrate in ur work What? -- Posted by echohillsgolf at 10:39 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 i can concentrate on your mom! OHHHH -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 10:40 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Obviously you people have never been to a dorm. EVERYONE has video systems in their rooms. Plus you can lock your room, so theres not a huge chance of it getting stolen. Don't listen to those other idiots -- Posted by gprime at 10:43 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Everyone? I have no clue where the hell hinshawwrx goes, but that isn't the case at most schools. Some people have it, but not everybody. No reason it wouldn't be safe as long as you lock your door when you're not there. -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 10:58 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Quote: from gprime at 10:43 pm on Oct. 25, 2007 Everyone?

I guess ISU and Bradley, SIU EIU and Milikin having Xboxes and PS3's everywhere gave me a false idea then? -- Posted by dreamweaver at 6:02 am on Oct. 26, 2007 Just a warning to gamers... Some students do tend to get addicted to thier games, stay up all hours of the day, and then realize that they've been on academic probation because of it. As long as you know how to manage your time and you know how to control yourself, you should be just fine. I've seen it happen several times... in fact, my ex boyfriend had that issue last year and ended up dropping out because of it. If you're afraid someone will jack it, then get a trunk with a lock and stick it in there. But honestly, if you don't lock your door then having anything worth anything in your room is rather pointless. Otherwise, I don't understand what the big deal is unless your school has a terrible reputation with random breakins in dorms... which is rather unlikely. -- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 9:17 am on Oct. 26, 2007 A few people down here have games consoles, but they really don't play it that often because between work and going out etc, they just don't have the time. -- Posted by genevieve26 at 3:49 am on Nov. 4, 2007 for me NO! because you will forget all your responsibilities as a students. But if you want. it's your decisions. If you're afraid someone will jack it, do you have a dresser or a chest of drawer that has a lock on it? Maybe you can keep it locked up in there when you're not using it and just bring it out when you are ready to play. -- Posted by collegestudenthub at 1:39 pm on Nov. 4, 2007 don't bring it because your homework time will pretty much be spent playing video games and you won't study as hard for your exams.
