what are the causes of college dropouts?

Answer 1

The list is endless! For me as a single parent it is also endless, but here are some of the top barriers for me. Lack of money, having to support dependants, working too many hours and not having enough study time, commuting an hour each way three times a week year round, not being involved with campus activities so there is a disconnect from my peers, affordable safe and reliable childcare, fear of the unknown, work simply being too hard, not having the necessary supplies to participate in class, problems with time management.

Answer 2

the in-built difficulty of the course - thats what colleges and universities and the whole educational system are about.
weeding out the less able so the rest look better and get more money in the future.
also id say some people drop out cause they've just had enough of education going straight from school to college.

Answer 3

I think the major reason student drop out is because they party too much. Yes college is a time to have fun and be on your own, but most of the kids I know who couldn't make it, drank way too much, got behind on work, and dropped out because they were doing so poorly. Other reasons.. home sickness, illness, realizing college isn't for them, not liking their major and just giving up, and so many more.
