Abstract
The study investigates the relationship of 153 students' housing arrangements to the frequency of dropping out from college. Results indicate that dropping out was related to the living situation, the highest rates occurring for Ss living in rooms, in boarding houses, and at home, the lowest for those in sororities, men's dormitories, and co-ops.Keywords
