  • Notes: The dependent variable in each regression is indicated by the column headings. The unit of observation is a student-course. All regressions control for campus and first-year fixed effects. Additional control variables include age in first year and gender. Standard errors clustered at the student level are reported in brackets. Significant at *p<0.10, **p<0.05, ***p<0.01.
