INTRODUCTION

Overstaying in school, studying a certain course, can lead to depression. It is a

common problem of some students of Agricultural Education and Extensions students of

College of Agriculture in Mindanao State University. This factor affects their future, dreams

and plans. It depresses them because their parents are getting older and older while they are

extended in studying their course. There are many factors why some students are extended in

their studies. However, it is up to them on how they will overcome with it. Being an

extended student does not ruin dreams, there is still hope for them to success. Looking at the

situation of overstaying students can be a lesson to others especially freshmen, it will

motivate them to prevent from happening it to themselves. For the overstaying students to

overcome this issue, they must double time if there is a chance, study well and learn from the

mistakes.

This paper focuses and limits on the various reasons why some agricultural education

and extension students are overstaying in their studies, the effects of it and the possible

solution to overcome this type of struggle of some agricultural students in MSU.

The main objective of this paper is for the reader to know the reasons of some

agricultural education and extension students in overstaying in their course, to determine the

causes of overstaying of some agricultural education and extension students. This study also

tries to help the upcoming college students prevent from the causes of overstaying, for them

to not experience this common struggle of some MSU students.

interview, and other related reading texts which served as the primary sources of the paper

 CONCLUSION

We all know that humans are not perfect, we do not know everything. Just like

overstaying students, they overstayed in their studies because they were victimized by the

error of the system. Agricultural students are struggling to their college’s system, the lack of

faculty and the unavailability of the subjects of every semester because of prerequisites

subjects. But the lack of faculty has a very good reason and it is because the college of

agriculture is not accepting faculties that are not good and have bachelor degree. But then

again it affects the availability of their subjects which is the reason they have a lot of

overstaying students.

But these factors of overstayed are not the hindrance of agricultural education and

extension students to fulfill their dreams, goals and achievements in life but these are the

reflection or lessons, morals to face our obstacles and problems in life.
