The overall percentage of college freshmen who return to the same college for their second year of higher education has declined — again — according to an annual survey released today.
In the 2007-8 academic year, 66 percent of first-year college students returned to the same institution for their second year of college, the lowest percentage since 1989. That figure is down from 68 percent in 2006-7 and 69 percent in 2005-6, according the survey, which was conducted by ACT Inc., the nonprofit testing and research group.
