ABSTRACT
This chapter gives the outcomes of the analyses of the data from the full-time and sandwich students. The first section describes the students' background characteristics, and this is followed by an analysis of the influences on their withdrawals. Further analysis revealed six factors that subsume the much longer list of possible influences on withdrawal, and these are elaborated with comments from the students, some of which are quite colourful. The data set is 'cut' in a number of ways in exploratory analyses which suggest where differences between sub-groups (based on characteristics such as age and gender) might lie. A short section then indicates the extent to which the students sought advice from within the institution before leaving. The chapter ends with an analysis of the (surprising) extent to which the withdrawn students had returned to study.
