I'm curious about the number of students currently enrolled at the Naval Academy. How big is the student body? I'm considering applying and want to get a sense of campus life and class sizes.
The United States Naval Academy, also known as Annapolis, has a relatively small student population with a little over 4,500 undergraduates. This includes all four classes, from plebes (freshmen) to first-class Midshipmen (seniors). The average class size varies, but it's generally in the low teens to low twenties. With a smaller student body, you can expect a more tight-knit and supportive community. This also means plenty of opportunity for hands-on learning, leadership experiences, and personalized attention from faculty. It also means you'll be living with and learning alongside the same group of people for all four years, which could be beneficial for fostering close relationships and a sense of camaraderie.
