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 New England College, about 61% 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. New England College has 4,152 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of private, 4-year schools.
About 54% of students are male.
And about 55% of students are not U.S. residents.
