True

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the benefits foregone of a non chosen alternative when an alternative is chosen.

Going to college represents opportunity cost in the form of money incurred specifically for pursuing studies and also the lost opportunity in the form of income foregone which could've been earned had the student worked somewhere.

Thus, dropping out of college would involve the opportunity cost in the form of money spent exclusively for study as well as the money which could've been earned had the individual preferred working.

Hence, the given statement is true.
