More than a quarter of entering students leave college within their first year. That's according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center's Persistence and Retention Snapshot Report released last summer. Among the 3.5 million students who enrolled in college for the first time in fall 2017, 74% (2.6 million) were still enrolled at any higher education institution in fall 2018. The first‐year persistence rate rose 2.2% over eight years, the data showed.
