How do you think NSU could improve its retention rates?
“I was going to transfer out my freshman year, but I got more involved with student organizations and stayed. I feel like those students that leave want to be involved. So by promoting student organizations.”
— Tiffany Kelly, senior sport and recreation management major
“I transferred into NSU, and I think they do an awesome job with student activities. I mean, I’m satisfied.”
— Carlie Morley, senior psychology major
“If NSU undergraduates could be guaranteed entrance into the graduate programs, I think that would improve retention rates.”
— John Skicki, clinical psychology graduate student
“I was an RA in Goodwin, and in my freshman year, a lot of my friends transferred out because they felt there wasn’t school spirit. NSU should have events throughout the whole school year to keep the freshman population excited, not just stop after, like, basketball season ends.”
— Nathalie Moreau, senior communication studies major
“I knew some people who transferred out of NSU and they had multiple reasons for doing so, including homesickness and tuition. They weren’t locals, and it’s easier to be closer to home. Making sure the students feel at home and involved could improve retention.”
— Miriam Zelden, junior chemistry and biology major
“More majors. Some friends of mine have actually transferred out because NSU didn’t offer their desired major.”
— Marisa Maura, senior biology major
