College Gambling
Throughout
the country, gambling is viewed as an entertaining way for college students
to
have some social fun. Whether it’s a
poker tournament or a recreational sporting event,
gambling has become a
popular activity for many students. For the majority of students
choosing to
participate in gambling activities, there are few consequences. However,
1 in every 20 college students will
develop a gambling problem. For these students,
there is the reality of
academic, personal, and financial stress.
