This paper examines some of the factors related to entry to college or university as well as factors which are related to leaving postsecondary education prior to completion. Using data from the Youth in Transition Survey (YITS), it explores the early postsecondary experiences of youth who were 18 to 20 years old in December 1999 and compares factors related to both entry and persistence in college and university. The report then looks at the reasons that students give for leaving their studies prior to completion, and also focuses on students who had dropped out of postsecondary studies, but who had returned to school by December 2001.
