Some of the reasons why students drop out of college

Lack of financing, some of the students many not qualify for Financial aid grants because their parents make middle class salaries and as  a result the students don't fulfill financial aid criteria. Once that happens the other option the student have is either to apply for student loans or get a job and work and go to school at the same time.If a student chooses to get  a student loan to pay for tuition fees and very expensive books and continue his/her education,the inters rate is so high the student keep on accumulating mountains of high debt. As school progresses students become stressed and their performances decline, and by the time mid-term approaches, many make harsh decision to drop out of college. If students decide to work,most of the time he/she get a job is at minimum wages where the boss is not lenient in students having to take an occasional day off to study for a test.Students are thus faced with the dilemma of either to reporting to work or getting fired or not going to work and studying for the test whichever choice the student makes,his/her academic performance is affected one way or the other; this can lead to dropping out of college.
