The study sought to establish the influence of students’ learning experiences on involvement inalma mater. The cross-sectional survey design was employed for the study. The sample size was 1011 respondents comprising 382 from Kenyatta University, 277 from University of Rwanda-College of Education and 352 from University of Cape Coast. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using Logistic Regression. The study found that academic services and non-academic learning experiences positively affect students’ willingness to further education in attended institution or participate in further university activities after graduation (p ​< ​.05). The study recommends that universities pay attention to students’ learning experiences because these affect the willingness to continuously associate with institutions after graduation.
