Abstract
This article features a review of the published research in selected areas of student persistence. The results of major studies in the areas of involvement in campus life, ethnicity, gender, age, on-campus versus off-campus residency and membership in fraternities and sororities are summarized. The areas selected indicate interests of the authors and are not necessarily the most significant factors in student persistence.Keywords
