Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore differences between first and second year of college students' dropout intention related to university characteristics, student characteristics, and students' social and economic conditions, along with Tinto's student integration factor.
 Methods The National Assessment of Student Engagement in Learning data collected by the Korean Educational Development Institute(KEDI) in 2021 were used. The number of participants were 28,353 students of four-year universities. A logistic regression analysis was conducted.
 Results First-year students attending universities non-metropolitan area had a higher intention to dropout, but second-year students attending universities small size in the metropolitan area also did. Dropout intention was lower when first-year students were in the medication field, and for second-year students when they were in the social sciences, engineering, medicine, or arts and physical sciences fields, compared to those in the humanities. For both year students, when active or collaborative learning and self-evaluation of basic learning abilities was high, the dropout intention was low. Additionally, the first-year students, extracurricular activities and high inter-action with peers lowered the dropout intention.
 Conclusions Dropout intention differs depending on the first and second year of university, and based on the re-sults, the need for financial and administrative policy support from individuals, universities, and educational au-thorities to prevent dropout and equal educational opportunities
