"Gaming laptop" is an oxymoron.

For college you want battery life and you don't want to be tethered to one seat.

They're all fine, but for that price you could get a netbook and a small desktop for a dorm room easily - and be able to play games at much higher resolutions and settings.

Well it would run.

It wouldn't be particularly spectacular either.

The Asus is actually of better spec.
