Top 10 Reasons why Students Drop Out of College

top ten reasons why students drop out of college

Students make it through High School alright but not always in college.
I shall be pointing out my top ten reasons why students drop out of college
based on my observations and experiences.
Why does it happen really?

1. Financial Difficulties: this is the most common reason why students drop out of college or dont even go to college at all. Tuition fee increases periodically and basic income still remains the same, in addition scholarship grants are not easily accessible.



2. Academic Immaturity: High school and college students have a different kind of targets or goal and sometimes High school doesnt really prepare you for whats to come in college. High school students only care about to pass while college students think about succeeding.

3. Emotional Unpreparedness: being a college student is not always easy,there are ups and downs. For some people, there are more downs than ups and the challenge starts there. Deadlines, reports, thesis, case studies, research, terror professors and so many things to juggle at once breaks those students who haven't got a good foundation before college.

4. Peer Un-pressure: college is a whole new world and also a whole lot of people to befriend with but some others arent that sociable enough to make it to the people's friend list and it makes them lonely and that means lesser motivations.

5. All fun, no study: college is definitely fun! It is the time when youngsters try new things,expand their horizons, go anywhere, everywhere and do some pretty crazy stuff to the point that studies are being neglected.

6. No proper guidance: unlike in high school where guiding students are the focus of the teachers, in college you are on your own because no one is always there to guide you.

7. Homesickness or "culture shock": many students dont come from the city where the college is, they come from a small town or a province which is more peaceful and less stressful than living in a city. Some people do not get used to the demands of living in a city.

8. Choosing the wrong course: being a senor in high school is sometimes still too early to choose your career. Many pick their courses out of hype and to be able to go to their friends in the same college and later on they realize they are on their own.

9. Shift of interest: students who find themselves doubting if they have chosen the right career is the first evidence of the shifting interest. They may find new interests mid-college which make them happier.

10. couldnt visualize "future" self: those who couldnt see themselves as successful people in the future get stuck in the present. they do things that benefit them in the present but not for their future. It makes them realize that college is useless.
