Re: college campus
Many of my friends have tried and failed at playing online. I don't think the majority of college students stick around when they lose (esp. since we don't have a big budget) -- they'd rather play in the live cash games (smaller stakes).
Of my friends that have played for, say, longer than 2-3 months online, I'd say 1. Yes, 2. Yes, 3. Borderline no. Many of them (myself included) do break 1k a month, but many are at around 500-1000ish.
So I'd say the majority of long-term players are at least winning players (otherwise they would have quit), and many are beating it for 1k a month (I'd estimate about 25% of these long-term winning players are beating it for 1k).
My opinion might be generous considering it's a small sample size, so take it for what it's worth. (Btw, I go to UC Berkeley, and most of my friends are in the UC system.)
Responses will probably be influenced by the quality/population of the college as well.
