•
57% of all students that decide
college is ‘not for them’, do so
after their 2nd semester of college
•
The most significant factors which
contribute to college success are
“feeling connected to the
university and feeling supported”
(Dixon, Rayle & Chung, 2007)
•
Those who struggle with the
adjustment towards independent
living , have a significantly higher
chance of not performing as well
in college, or dropping out, as
their more independent peers.
•
Strong psycho-social support
equates to “greater persistence”
in students. (Nicpon et al, 2006)
