Engagement Impacts Retention!

Why an engaging campus experience is essential in the first semester

The first semester is a pivotal time for students in every year group, as they navigate academic pressures, manage rising living costs, embrace newfound independence, and tackle adult responsibilities head-on.

Recent statistics highlight how these hurdles can impact students’ experience:

  • 33% of students refrain from engaging in campus life beyond academic settings.¹
  • Many students consider dropping out before the Christmas break, with final decisions often made after the first-semester exams.
  •  As a result, 23% of students drop out during their first year.²

Proactively engaging with campus resources and connecting with peers can help alleviate academic stress and combat feelings of isolation.

Download our guide for actionable strategies that will boost students’ participation in campus activities and foster a stronger sense of belonging.
