Abstract	The phenomenon of student attrition is an increasingly challenging problem confronting American higher education. Unfortunately, there exists virtually no consensus on root causes; and disagreements continue over what intervention strategies might help to reduce the rates with which young collegians abandon their studies and leave campus. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 273 college students. The questionnaire was designed to explore various experiences prior to and during the participants college experience. This paper evaluates the need for additional programs to promote retention by enhancing students' academic competence and self confidence. Additionally, the importance of a supportive, nurturing institutional environment is discussed. (Contains 6 tables.) (As Provided).
