Depends on the school. Many admissions/retention offices on campuses do studies on things like this, and may be available on their websites. If not, you can email the staff in these offices, and politely and clearly ask for a copy of the report, if it exists. I emphasize this because campus staff are quite harried, and don't have time to continue emailing for clarification; they might also be less inclined to help out, if they feel their time is wasted.
Generally, I believe the trend is that students will attend services more regularly when they first arrive, and then drop off throughout their first year, and even more significantly in the following years. Some admissions/retention offices are concerned with these figures, because they think there's a positive correlation between attending classes and attending religious services, either because of the whole "higher power watching us" factor or simply due to becoming involved in a community (like getting involved in campus groups and intramurals).

I dont go to church anymore. I tell myself every sunday that i will drag myself out of the bed and go to church and it never happens. Ironically I am doing a pllay for my theater class in college and I am GOD!!...WOW!!!
It seems like church is so far from my life right now. I used to go often. Every sunday, wednesday, friday... WHen ever the doors were opened I was there! I gues you could say that I lived in the church.
Now I am so preocupied with schoool and a father that I can't find time.
Well, those of you that still go, please continue to go. It is the right thing to do so do it!!!

I do. The things I learn at church make the things I learn in college worthwhile.
