Least Half-time Enrollment Colleges

Hi, I have a concern. I'm a prospective student looking for colleges where the least half-time enrollment is less prevalent. I'd prefer a school where students are more likely to be full-time. Any suggestions?

Absolutely! If you're interested in attending a school where most students attend full time, there are numerous institutions to consider. When we say full-time student, it means enrolling in at least 12 credit hours per semester, which typically equates to around 4 courses.

Firstly, think about the type of university you're looking for. Are you after small liberal arts colleges or larger universities? Do you have any preferred regions or states? These preferences can play a significant role in your college search.

Consider universities like Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT where nearly 100% of undergraduate students are full-time. These universities are dedicated to creating immersive educational experiences and tend to have a high number of full-time students.

If you're interested in smaller liberal arts colleges, Colgate University and Swarthmore College have virtually 100% full-time attendees as well.

However, keep in mind that these schools are highly selective. Ensure your academic credentials and extracurricular activities align with these colleges' expectations.

If you're comparing colleges, check each school's Common Data Set (CDS). The CDS will provide comprehensive information about a school's student body, including the number of full-time vs. part-time students. Almost all universities have this data available on their official websites.

I hope this helps! This is a great factor to consider when thinking about the type of educational and social environment you want for your college experience.
