Im interested in applying to colleges with large student populations. Anyone know which colleges in the US have the most students enrolled?
Absolutely! When it comes to student population size, a few colleges firmly stand out as the leaders. Let's go over a few:
1. University of Central Florida: This university, located in Orlando, Florida, is one of the largest in the country, with a student population that usually exceeds 60,000.
2. Texas A&M: This college in College Station, Texas, also has one of the largest student bodies, with a total student population of nearly 70,000.
3. Ohio State University: Located in Columbus, Ohio, OSU comes in with a student population of around 60,000.
4. Florida International University: This Miami-based college boasts a student population of nearly 58,000.
5. University of Florida: UF, based in Gainesville, also has a pretty large student body. Its total enrolment typically exceeds 50,000.
6. Arizona State University: This university has multiple campuses across the Phoenix metro area and enrolls more than 70,000 students.
7. Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis: Known as IUPUI, this university has a total enrollment of around 30,000.
Remember, while these universities have large student populations, the feel of the campus can vary greatly from one university to another. Factors like campus layout, housing availability, community engagement, and student-to-teacher ratio can significantly shape your college experience, even at large universities. It's a great idea to visit campuses if you can or take virtual tours to get a sense of the community and see if it's the right fit for you.
