Not really. It's either games or school. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. You can't write a paper when you have a game you want to play unless you go to the library or something. And who does that?
it ain't that hard, if you have homework do all of it then game, if you have a test coming up, study and no videogames till after the test, if you don't have anything really to do and your ahead in terms of homework and you get what the material is over then relax and chill and game
Depends on how difficult the classes are that you're taking, what kind of grades you want to make, if you decide to get a job and how much you plan to work, and things like that. My general philosophy was to make studying/homework/projects my top priority and then use whatever time was left over for other things. But seriously, I gamed all the time in college and still maintained a 3.9 GPA; just make school your top priority and everything else secondary.

That is very true. However, if one manages time wisely, than one could play games around once a week, or maybe even twice.

Speak for you self... I have a 4.0 and I complete all of my games...

That is very true. However, if one manages time wisely, than one could play games around once a week, or maybe even twice. I gamed nearly every day and still made almost straight A's. I spent 15 hours a week in class, 30-40 hours doing school-related stuff outside of class, then the rest of the time doing whatever I wanted. People have a lot more free time in college than they realize.
You can finish a paper early on, then have time to hang out with friends/play video games. It's not like you have to do everything at once. And that is balancing everything out, just over a wider canvas.

I do my homework the same day it's assigned... I have entire days(never the same day) dedicated to gaming... I also game on the weekends... If people can find time to party/watch tv/go out with friends then they have time to game...
Depends on the person. I can't handle it. Thats why I have my crappy PC and did not bring my PS3. If I do play games, I can only play for like an hour before my PC overheats.

Same... I usually keep a notepad document open on my PC with what I need to do... I don't close it or turn on my games until everything on that list is checked off... One open right now :P
Comes down to self control... If you think you can do the work with your games sitting there... Bring them... If not... Then don't...
I still game quite often, but not nearly as much. It's mostly because the social scene changes. You can now go barring and clubbing and dating is even much more common. Tbh though, I don't really mind gaming less because there are so many new experiences.

I definitely disagree. I'm a biochem freshman taking some junior/senior level courses and I still have time to play plenty of Call of Duty and have a social life.
I tried last year, I had some problems with some subjects so this year and the next I'll only play like one or two hours daily or take that time for watch animes and my other spare time for study and do homeworks.
I am doing fine with balancing all but I have to lock myself into my room sometimes so I don't get friends coming in to disturb my video game atmosphere. They're quite needy sometimes!

Yeah, there's no reason that people can't do both. Even if you spend a lot of time studying there's almost always still leftover time unless you're in a crunch week or something.

Somehow I have managed to play video games constantly through college (even buying 2 gaming PCs, a PS3, and a Xbox 360) and still get an internship and keep my grades up. Not to mention I have a big social life...
I'm in college and I play games. Obviously I don't have as much time to as I use to, but I don't really care anymore. A few hours of Call of Duty every week is plenty nowadays.

Basically this. Always get your school stuff done first then with what time you have left you can do w/e you want to.
Personally, I have plenty of free time and have about the same GPA as this guy.
When I got to college last year, games became a weekend luxury. I have enough on my plate with studies, friends, and track practice everyday/meets every Friday/Saturday.
It's not hard. I had a 3.5 first semester GPA and I play video games every day and have a social life. Friday I do homework in the afternoon until dinner then after I hang out with people, we go out to parties, come back around 3, and like last night play COD til 6-7 AM. I don't touch a book from friday night til Sunday afternoon and I still do fine. Just make sure you're able to balance everything because studies come first.
