The actions carried out to promote the permanence of students in higher education programs are very varied and range from policies defined by the national ministry of education (men), to strategies designed by higher education institutions (heis). What happens is that the majority of these actions have been aimed at providing students with the best way to overcome the impact that economic factors have on the permanence of their studies, and very few focus on aspects considered minor, but that they can contribute to the permanence of the students, by valuing the talents or hobbies that the students have. Therefore, this working document shows the importance that some social factors of university life may have in the permanence of students in their enrolled academic programs, which is not far from what institutions must do.  This work is the result of a non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation that allowed describing the factors that have the greatest incidence in the decision to leave or stay in an enrolled program of the ecacen school, in addition to collecting primary information from students classified as former, and a detailed review other investigations about the phenomenon of the desertion, but nevertheless it is necessary to point out that in the case of this work document, only the questions related to the talents that the students possess and those that inquire about the motivation to remain are selected in the programs. In this way, it is found that the talents or hobbies that the students possess can be used to promote a better university environment and contribute to the permanence in their programs, in addition to verifying that the development of these talents, which also help to carry out the human being, can be driven by higher education institutions.
