description Students with low socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely to leave college without a degree than students with high SES, although there are fewer low-SES students who persist to graduation. The most likely time for students to leave the University is after the first year. The purpose of this qualitative study of low-SES students, both retained and not retained, is to understand their first-year experience and the factors that led to the decision to persist or not. Unlike previous research, neither satisfaction nor obstacles such as finances, academic preparation, or social integration differentiated between students who persisted or not. The difference between those who persisted and those who did not was commitment as defined by the investment model. The committed students believed education was an investment in their future, and their future without a college degree was not an attractive alternative. They were motivated to persist.
