Search for the relationship between interrupted university attendance of first year students and some psychosocial factors.

Eight hundred and seventy-four freshmen underwent a structured interview to study the relationship of some psychosocial factors to interrupted university attendance. The scores were measured using the SPSS computer package. The scores indicate negative significant relationships between interrupted university attendance and satisfactory housing, own study choice, study motivation, campus participation and irregular alcohol consumption. The results demonstrate a positive significant relationship between withdrawal and the distance from the university.
