Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Dallas College, about 77% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Dallas College has 104,064 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of public, 4-year schools.
About 59% of students are female.
And about 46% of students are hispanic.
