Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?

It is inconsequential if casino or gambling house is located close to institution of learning especially tertiary institutions because they have all student to supposedly be 18 and above. It is institution for higher learning and therefore saddled with exposure too and right to make a choice not out of their own volition. Moreover, those students there are not kids, they have android phones and can access whatever casino they want online, so bringing it close to them doesn't matter because they have choice to make as adults. Whether bringing it closer or farther, they are adults with choice to make in whatever they want.

Actually I don't see anything wrong with seeing a casino or gambling shop being spotted closer to an institution of learning. We all should know what we want see anybody that is in an institution is supposed to be an adult that can make decisions for themselves. Even though a casino is never available, that does not mean that people or students are not going to look for any way possible to gamble and see if they could be making money for themselves. This is why an adult can always make decisions for themselves and does not need an adviser on what to do.

I have even seen beer drinking bars night clubs that are close to learning center. And as you said, each student knows why they are in school. When I was in school, I didn't attend any of those things plus gambling. And even if I count the time I visited gambling centers it would be very few occasions.

And even though the gambling centers are not close to the learning environment those serious gamblers would still go there and play games. And when it is far they would prefer it because nobody would see them because it is far. But there is disadvantages and advantages of being far and close to the school. You attend class on time if it is close or you attend class late if it is far.
