People drop out of college for all kinds of reasons – relationships, drugs, joining a band, deciding to follow The Dead around in a camper van.. the list is long and varied.

“You might find it alarming that one of the top reasons for college drop-outs in the U.S. is online gaming addiction – such as World of Warcraft – which is played by 11 million individuals worldwide”
