| Summary: | The second year of college is largely viewed as challenging and difficult for sophomores, yet institutions tend to provide less support to students at this point than they provided in the students' first year. Institutions front-load many of their services and support programs to create a positive collegiate experience for first year students, but fail to carry these through into the second year. Consequently, the problem of attrition may surface during the sophomore
