Hi all, I've been trying to figure out which colleges have the highest attendance. I'd prefer a larger school, so I'm targeting ones that have a large student body. Anyone know which ones I should be looking at?
Sure, it sounds like you're interested in schools that offer a large community and have a significant student population. Here are a few universities known for their large undergraduate populations:
- The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, often has one of the highest numbers of undergraduate students in the U.S. It typically has around 45,000 undergraduate students.
- The University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, is also known for its large size with around 59,000 undergraduate students.
- Arizona State University, based in Tempe, Arizona, often has a considerable size too, with close to 55,000 undergraduate students.
- The University of Texas at Austin is a large school, with approximately 40,000 undergraduate students.
- University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, has a significant cumulative enrollment with around 35,000 undergraduate students.
Keep in mind that a larger student body can mean more diversity in courses, extracurriculars, and communities, but it can also mean larger class sizes, especially in introductory courses. It's all about finding the right balance that works for you. Good luck with your college search!
