Education, v137 n2 p117-122 Win 2016
Attending an undergraduate institution in the United States is one of the most exciting and unique experiences in college students' lives. Although students have only spent several years in college, it has strong impacts that may last a lifetime. Strong institutional commitment, through its investment and allocation of various resources, is a necessary condition to enhance student learning and development. Student satisfaction is a good predictor of student success and retention at the college level. Collectively, institutional characteristics are a major factor that determines student success, retention, and graduation. This article reviews previously published literature regarding the institutional characters that affect the educational experiences of undergraduate college students.
