2. Yes, I have. She decided to leave the university because she not have enough money to pay

3. I can't suggest anything if the reason they leave is because of financial, but when I know my
friends want to leave the university just because they are lazy to study there again, I will
suggest to them to think twice and more clearly because I think there are many people outside
who wants to go to college like them but because of financial or anything factors they just only
dream it. So when they decide to leave the university just because of trivial things, it’s an act
that is a waste of time and a waste of money that has been spent to pay for it.
