Video games impact on College Freshman?
=================================
Thanks for looking into my issue and weighing in to my threads.
As I mentioned in my previous thread , he is a Freshman at UMBC and majoring Physics, desired to go for higher degree. He stays in college dorm. His high school Weighted GPA is 4.63.
He spent lot of time on Video games, when he was in high school. He wanted an MSI Gaming latptop , so we bought one. He agreed to keep good grades in college and not to spend time on video games.
We read the post Forbidding Gaming Systems - at least until adjusted to college life/demands

that gave some idea/concern.
He is able to maintain good grades in quiz in college, but main exam grades are in high Cs. It concerns us. We learned that he stayed late till midnight and wake up late on some days. He told us that had lot of stuff to do, so he stayed late. He claimed that he did not miss classes.
How do we know, whether he stayed late for college work or video game?
Is he going on right track, because his main exam grades are in high Cs?
What are the key milestones to track and take actions for his success?
What is the college level GPA to concern? When will the 1st GPA show up?
Thanks for sharing.
