Pascarella and Terenzini (1991) concluded, “one of the most inescapable and unequivocal conclusions we can make IS that the impact of college is largely determined by the individual’s quality of effort and level of involvement in both academic and Residential_College-Lopez-Merkouris-Olcott non-academic activities" (p. 610).
