Quite often, the challenges of students completing college are not academic, they’re social. After all, if students excelled in homeschool or high school, they pretty much can excel in college. However, according to the U.S. Department of Education, out of the 21 million students that enter college and universities annually, only 59% graduate. We found that the social dangers stemming from the need for social acceptance, new found freedom, peer distraction, and other environmental influences at college, causes this failure.
