Evaluation and prediction of the risk of quitting university studies: the case of the Faculty of Sociology - The old Italian university system was subject to highly dispersive tendencies, and the DM 509/1999 was passed to try to find a solution. Many studies, however, show how the goals of the so-called 3+2 reform have not been reached; moreover, in the specific area of sociological education, the results show a big gap between the expected and obtained effects. The analysis conducted in this article aims to establish whether and how much a profile more or less consistent with sociological education, may influence the student’s academic path. It also explores the hypothesis that, in similar enrolment conditions, the academic courses of students differ according to the university they enroll in.
