Inquiry about the largest student body in the US

Hey all, I'm trying to get a sense of the scale of different colleges. Can anyone tell me which college in the United States boasts the most students? I like the idea of a bustling campus, so data on this would be very helpful. Cheers.

If you're looking for a school with a large student body and a busy campus, you might want to consider Arizona State University (ASU) - Tempe. With an enrollment of over 50,000 undergraduate students, it's one of the largest by student population in the United States.

However, remember that a large student population doesn't always translate into a busy campus. For example, some schools may have a large portion of their student body taking classes online or at satellite campuses. At ASU, while there are indeed thousands of students on the main campus in Tempe, many students also attend classes at the downtown Phoenix campus, polytechnic campus, or online.

Furthermore, a bustling campus life can be found in small and mid-sized universities too. Activities and events organized on the campus, infrastructure, and the engagement of students also contribute to a lively campus environment.

In the end, it's important to visit the campus if you can, to get a feel for the atmosphere. Another piece of advice would be to aim for balance when it comes to size - a school that's too big or too small could both have their drawbacks. So don't let size be your sole determining factor and consider other aspects that are important to you as well.
