Active participation in social practice is of great realistic significance and effect to the growth of college students. However, almost all the college students have a relatively low engagement rate in social practice activities. According to a study of 4 colleges in Fujian, we had an empirical analysis on factors that influence students' will of participation in social practice. The study has shown that there are mainly 3 factors:whether the student is a fellow student leader, whether the student has an intimate knowledge of ways to participate, whether the student has family support. Accordingly, it is necessary for us to broaden the path of students' participation. And we should reinforce the optimization of the social practice environment. Simultaneously, the parental idea should be transformed. In order to increase students' willingness to participate social practice, innovative forms of raising funds are advocated. All these measures are the keys to broaden the path of students' participation in social practices.
