What's the student population at UNC system universities?

I'm exploring different schools in the UNC system and I'm wondering about their student populations. Specifically interested in how size varies across the system and how it might impact student life and resources.

The UNC system includes a large number of diverse universities, and their student populations indeed vary, as do student life and resources. Here are some numbers as of the latest academic year for a few of the universities:

- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill), the flagship university of the system, has an undergraduate student population of around 19,000.

- North Carolina State University (NC State) in Raleigh is a bit larger, with an undergraduate student population of approximately 25,000.

- University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) also has a substantial undergraduate student body with roughly 23,600 students.

- On the smaller end, University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNC Asheville) is a public liberal arts school with around 3,600 undergraduate students.

These differences in population can certainly impact aspects of the student experience. Larger schools like UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, or UNC Charlotte would typically have a wider breadth of courses, majors, extracurriculars, and resources available, including larger libraries, more dining options, and varied housing facilities. However, they might also entail larger class sizes, especially for lower-level courses.

Smaller colleges, like UNC Asheville, however, often feature smaller class sizes which can lead to more personal attention from professors, possibly fostering stronger relationships. But their course options, extracurriculars, and resources might be a bit limited compared to larger schools.

It's essential to visit these colleges virtually or in-person, if possible. Reach out to current students or alumni to get a sense of the culture, opportunities, strengths, and weaknesses of each school from those who've experienced it firsthand. This will help inform your decision about what type of school size would be the best fit for you.
