Abstract
In this research conducted to investigate university students’ tendencies toward and reasons behind
dropout, it was found that university students had a high level of tendency towards dropout (45%). This indicated that
one out of two students wanted to drop out of school at least once for a reason. As a result, their tendencies toward
dropout was due to personal factors as well as those related to family, friends, and school. The personal factors
affecting tendency toward dropout were gender, academic performance, school attendance, out-of-school work,
boredom at school, and discipline penalty. According to the results, the factors related to school were faculty type,
level of satisfaction with administrative and teaching staff as well as with social activities, level of difficulty in the
department, and willingness to choose faculty. Furthermore, in this study, a positive relationship was found between
dropout tendency and possession of close friends who dropped out of school.
