The traditional approach to student success focuses primarily on academic achievement, measured solely by Grade Point Average (GPA). This narrow perspective, however, overlooks the numerous challenges students face throughout their academic journey, which can significantly impact their overall well-being and ability to thrive. Along this line, this study was conducted using mixed methods, specifically convergent mixed methods, to investigate the experience of college students from a higher education institution in the Philippines. Quantitative data were collected through a structured survey, while qualitative data were gathered through open-ended essay responses. A universal sampling technique was used to reach the target respondents.The instrument underwent pilot and reliability testing to assess its clarity, comprehensiveness, and internal consistency. The final instrument included 35 indicators with an overall reliability equivalent to excellent. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data were analysed using conventional content analysis. The findings from both data sources were then integrated to create The Holistic Student Experience Framework. This framework offers a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted factors affecting student success, incorporating six key dimensions: academic, social, emotional, financial, institutional, and personal. These interconnected dimensions highlight the importance of considering the student experience as a whole, rather than focusing on individual aspects in isolation. By understanding how these dimensions interact, not just focusing on academics as is the tradition, schools can develop strategies to support students' well-being and success. They can better address students' complex and variegated challenges, fostering a more supportive and inclusive learning environment.
