poster about HERE Project findings
![The HERE! Project “The people I live with and the friends I have made are so lovely I worried I'd never see them again.” Student doubter explaining what has helped them stay at University (March 2009) Key Findings Non-doubters more likely to persist 98.3% of non-doubters persisted and were still in HE in the next academic year 95.7% of doubters persisted (based on 370 students who provided permission to track progress) Reasons to Doubt and Reasons to Stay are NOT simply opposites Reasons to doubt = course related, then problems with lifestyle Reasons to stay = support from friends & family (primarily made at university) & future goals Quantitative differences between non-doubters, doubters & leavers Before they withdrew, leavers appeared to be having a measurably poorer experience For example leavers reported lower levels of enjoyment and confidence that they could cope Research The HERE Project has two strands: 1. Student Doubters Are Doubters more likely to leave than non-doubters? What can we learn from doubters who remain? 2. Programmes with Better than Peer Rates of Retention What can we learn from programmes with better rates of retention than their peers?
