Not a native speaker here, I would have thought you “drop out” of college not “stop out” of it, is both sounding ok to native speakers or are they different things?
you’re correct that the term normally used is “drop out”. i think this article may be using “stop out” to specifically refer to people who merely did not enroll in a new semester (vs. people who e.g. failed out, or were otherwise forcibly removed from the school), but i wasn’t able to conclude this 100% from my reading
