Walk by any college computer lab or dorm late at night and you will see hundreds of students frantically typing away on their computer terminals - but instead of school research and paper-writing, they're most likely spending several hours every night slaying monsters at gaming sites or chatting aimlessly with Internet pals hundreds of miles or even continents away. College counselors are starting to see those students who can't stop surfing the Internet at the risk of jeopardizing their grades.
