Please don't flame me! Just wanting some advice from parents who have been there, with boys who can't drag themselves away from their computers.
As my son (addicted to computer gaming, IMO) heads off to a rigorous engineering program at a top ranked college, I wonder if I should tell him I won't allow him to bring his playstation. I am in a position to request this from his roommate as well, as they are long time friends and that boy's parents are counting on my son to have a good influence on their son. I realize he will play games on his own computer and certainly will find other kids in the dorms to play on their systems, but in my mind, not having it in his own room would be one less distraction.
We are paying for college so perhaps this is leverage. As a compromise, if he has a good adjustment to school and has good grades first semester, we may let him bring it second semester.
