October 21, 2025 2:30pm Why Do College Students Choose to Stop Attending?
Description: Community college students frequently decide to withdraw from college without achieving their educational goals. Over decades of research, very few studies have asked students why they chose to leave. This original research explores that question by evaluating and comparing self-reported reasons for attrition at one institution over a five-year period. This type of data is often collected in our institutions but is not analyzed.
