It is important to note the sample set of the survey: "The researchers surveyed 655 students entering Berea College, a private liberal arts college located in Kentucky, in the falls of 2000 and 2001."
I have a feeling that the results of the survey would be different at a public university with strong science and engineering programs.
My personal experience has been that many people will change their intended degrees, but rarely have I seen someone completely withdraw from science or engineering programs
- BrandonMarc 13y agoAgreed. A few hundred kids at one atypical college does not a full pattern make. Also, does it bug nobody else that this "news" is from research done a dozen years ago?
- newbie12 13y agoYeah, this study is a joke-- Berea is really atypical, I've visited. The town is charming with a serious mountain artistic vibe. The school has a religious mission and outreach to non-traditional students in Appalachia.
