Another measure that is often used to estimate how much access students will have to their professors is how many faculty members are full-time. The idea here is that part-time faculty tend to spend less time on campus, so they may not be as available to students as full-timers.

The freshmen retention rate of 37% tells us that most first-year, full-time students don't stick around for a second year at Vernon College. Students may have a variety of reasons for this, such as only intending to attend a school for one year while they brush up on certain subjects.
