University Dropout in Granada: A Biographical Narrative Study Addressing Student Diversity Based on External Factors Álvarez Ferrándiz, Daniel Armenteros Mayoral, Juan Carlos Álvarez Rodríguez, José Rodríguez Sabiote, Clemente University dropout Socioeconomic conditions Logical minimization University dropout is a problem that affects all universities around the world. It is multidimensional and multicausal in nature. The consequences of a student dropping out affect them not only financially but also in terms of their self-perception. In this article, an analysis of in-depth interviews was carried out to determine what motivations students have when leaving classrooms to provide solutions to the new cohorts that enter. The sample consisted of 21 students, including 14 men and 7 women, from different Andalusian universities. A logical minimization analysis was carried out, showing the necessary implications for each of the subjects who participated. Afterwards, frequency and percentage analyses were carried out for each of the dimensions that made up the interview, with success in primary education having the lowest percentage (4.7%) and academic orientation having the highest percentage (90.47%). 2026-01-23T12:22:11Z 2026-01-23T12:22:11Z 2026-01-14 journal article Álvarez-Ferrandiz, D., Armenteros-Mayoral, J.
