I'm not sure they do! I have a friend who thought about transfering last year and I do know she had to have an interview with student life discussing why she was going to leave, but that was it.
I think they need to follow up to find out why they left- maybe it was finances or family issues. If it is because of finances, maybe the college can help them secure waht they need to return. Family issues they probably can't resolve. Like any business, colleges need to listen to their customers. My son left living on campus in his freshman year because he was vegan and the cafeteria offered NO options. No one ever asked why.
Really, and the funny thing is that I bet that interview didn't go far past her either. They listened but did very little to change the situation. Sad part is that I don't think that most institutions really feel that that is a problem for their campus. Although the numbers would say otherwise.

That sounds easy enough but it is a shame she had to do that in the first place.
