[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retention is a strange criterion at least to count for that much. How does that affect quality of education and faculty? Kind of bogus. [/quote] I disagree. As a parent, I think retention rates and graduation rates are extremely important. If half the freshman class doesn't return for sophomore year, then I would have grave concerns about the college readiness of the enrolled freshmen, the support services offered to freshmen, and what kind of experience my own child will have--will half his friends disappear after freshman year? Is the experience so bad that my kid will want to transfer, or worse, drop out? As for graduation rates, I want my kid to be amidst many other kids who are committed to a four year plan and to be able to get into the classes he needs to graduate on time. If only half the students (and in many cases it's less!!) are graduating in 4 years, I'd advise most to look elsewhere.[/quote]
