College completion gets new scrutiny
Janna Mendez didn't last even one semester in college-- a victim, she says, of not realizing how expensive it would be to pay for classes. As Indiana joins a nationwide effort to help college students such as Mendez stay on campus, statistics show the odds against success are enormous -- particularly for Indiana students at two-year community colleges such as Ivy Tech, where Mendez had attempted her career as a student.
