Students who were enrolled at the Grand Valley State Colleges (GVSC) during fall 1977 but did not re-enroll winter 1978 were surveyed. The results showed that (1) 75 percent probably left for reasons the college could not expect to affect; (2) most complimented the college; (3) almost half had not expected to get a degree there to begin with; (4) over half intended to return; (5) many had been employed full-time during the fall; (6) over half claimed grade-point averages between 3.0 and 4.0; (7) almost three-quarters had attended another college before enrolling at GVSC; and (8) about a quarter claimed current enrollment at another college or planned to enroll elsewhere.
