An Unseen Problem: Student-Parents

According to Brent McBride, a professor of human development at Illinois, the college drop-out rates of traditional undergraduate students – college freshmen who have just transitioned from high school – who are also full-time parents is a growing problem in the U.S., one that’s further exacerbated by the dearth of acceptable child care options for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree.

Among the challenges student-parents face are a lack of money, a lack of support and understanding, and the mounting pressure of familial responsibilities.
