Why?

Reading about pass rates at the college, could anyone enlighten me on why they think certain people fail things or are chopped? Is it because of lack of hard work (I would think this is least unlikely seeing as to be there pretty much shows you want to learn), very hard courses, abnormally high amount to learn..... the list could be endless.

I'm not afraid of hard work and I like learning new things all the time. I don't have a "gifted memory" so I know I actually have to work to remember stuff.

I was also wondering, are those who tend to fail, graduates or non-graduates or, "young" or "old". I would expect that those who had been to university may find studying easier, but then I always hear graduates can be complacent and when it comes to learning something new after university, they fail miserably...

Just your thoughts please.
