[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh Please. There is no way I would take one kids opinion and make that the rule.  All the other very happy, successful students aren't whining on social media for clicks.  They are living their best lives. Get out of your dorm and join a club. [/quote]

How do you explain the rash of suicides by Princeton students?[/quote]

Or the 83% retention rate from freshman to sophomore year?[/quote]

The 4-year graduation rate of entering freshmen at Princeton is generally among the highest in the country.  Are you mischaracterizing some statistic about students who took a voluntary leave during Covid?  [/quote]

Mischaracterizing? No, just reading the number listed in Scoir.

DP: What year is that number from? Is it an average? What does the trajectory of retention rates look like?  Is it an anomaly due to Covid year/s?  That number is totally irrelevant without that contextual information.  Nearly all private residential colleges had a significant dip in freshman retention post Covid because what you are paying the $ money for is the residential experience--it's only now recently started to climb back up.[/quote]
