Fidler, Paul P.; Moore, Philip S.
Journal of the Freshman Year Experience & Students in Transition, v8 n2 p7-16 1996
A study of eight successive freshman cohorts at the University of South Carolina found that both participating in a freshman orientation seminar and living on campus reduced freshman dropout rates. Students who both participated in the seminar and lived on campus had the lowest dropout rate, whereas those who did neither had the highest dropout rate. (Author/MSE)
