College Activity on Instagram

Super interested in the social media presence colleges have these days. Can anyone tell me which colleges have the most followers on Instagram? Or is there a platform that tracks these stats? I'm wondering if it's the Ivy Leagues or some other universities that might be leading the charge.

While it's always interesting to see the social media presence colleges have, it's tough to designate a specific college as having "the most" followers due to the continuously evolving nature of social media. However, it's generally observed that larger universities or those with substantial athletic programs tend to maintain a robust social media presence. For instance, colleges like University of Michigan, University of Texas at Austin, and UCLA have significant followings, particularly due to their large alumni pools and strong athletics programs.

Ivy League schools also have a substantial following, but the number of followers can vary widely. For example, Harvard and Yale boast a significant number of followers due to their world-wide recognition and prestige.

Unfortunately, there isn't a specific platform known to track these stats exclusively. One way to determine this is to directly visit the Instagram pages of the colleges you're interested in. Remember, though, that the number of followers a college has on Instagram should not influence your application decision. What matters most is their academic offerings, the opportunities they provide, the campus culture, and how well you feel you will fit in!

Finally, while we don't usually think of social media as being an official information source, university Instagram pages can provide valuable insights into campus life, updates on their programming, and they might respond to high-level questions about admissions and campus activities. However, for detailed and personal queries, it's best to contact the university admissions team directly.
