A breakdown of those categories shows the specific hurdles. For example, of students indicating work as a challenge, having work hours that do not leave time for study was most often cited (61 percent), followed by not being paid enough to cover expenses while in school (49 percent) . A work schedule that hampered students' ability to use campus resources was also a challenge (36 percent), as was work schedules that conflicted with classes (35 percent) . Among those who said paying expenses was a barrier, living expenses were most often cited (71 percent), followed by books, software and supplies (58 percent), and tuition and fees (55 percent) . In regards to family and friends, difficulty balancing demands of family and friends (72 percent) was most often noted, followed by difficulty dealing with the health of family and friends (35 percent) .  \nFor more information, contact Matt Dembicki, director of publications at the American Association of Community Colleges, at 202-416-4525 [or](or mdembicki@aacc.nche.edu)[ ](or mdembicki@aacc.nche.edu)[mdembicki@aacc.nche.edu](or mdembicki@aacc.nche.edu).","cbCaiu1MDvLP2EhD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu1MDvLP2EhD","pdf",303328,"English","# Top challenges to college success\n## Work\n## Paying expenses\n## Family and friends\n## Editor’s note and source","[{\"question\":\"What are the top three challenges to college success cited by community college students?\",\"answer\":\"Work, paying expenses, and family and friends are the top three challenges reported by community college students in the survey results.\"},{\"question\":\"Which work-related issues are most often cited by students who selected work as a challenge?\",\"answer\":\"Students most often cite work hours that leave no time for study, followed by not being paid enough to cover expenses, and then schedules that hamper use of campus resources or conflict with classes.\"},{\"question\":\"What obstacles are most frequently reported under paying expenses and family and friends?\",\"answer\":\"For paying expenses, living expenses are most often cited, followed by books, software and supplies, and then tuition and fees.
