The present study explored the reasons and implications of dropout phenomenon in students of a women university in Pakistan. It focused dropout women’s feelings, expressions and aspirations after leaving the university without completing their degree. Thirty dropouts of different grades were selected purposively. An unstructured interview was conducted to the participants. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically through inductive approach. The study revealed that poverty, male members’ opposition, domestic responsibilities, institutional deficiencies, participants’ own personality traits and intentions were the major factors of leaving university before completing their target degree. Most of the dropout females were disappointed and started low grade jobs or were engaged in household. A few women wanted to carry on their education whenever they find an opportunity. It was recommended that a women university should provide more scholarships and wider options of professional and vocational subjects as well as alternative modes of education like online and weekend education to let dropouts complete their degrees. .
