[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be really concerned about ESU’s 36% 4-year graduation rate. That’s incredibly low. I’m sure your child would be fine and get across the finish line, but it seems rather depressing to go to college with a group of peers where most are not going to graduate with you.[/quote]

Some of those peers are older adults who are managing work and school -- that could easily explain why graduation rates are lower. I attended for two years to get a second bachelor's degree; I left when I hired into my current job (which I've had for 22 years now).  Some of my classmates were young aspiring students who likely graduated; others were older adults like me, who had outside obligations that may or may not have impacted their own graduation.[/quote].

And all of that will affect campus atmosphere and social environment. Having younger students that quit for financial reasons, older students with family obligations, etc. That’s what we’re getting at. It would be a very different college environment compared to Villanova or the other options.  OP and the child should understand this as it does impact the dynamics and overall student experience.[/quote]
