I'm curious about Yale University and was wondering how many students are enrolled there. Is it considered large compared to other Ivy League schools? I'm trying to get a sense of their campus community size.
At Yale University, the total student population is approximately 13,433 as of the 2024-2025 academic year. This includes both undergraduate and graduate students.
In terms of size compared to other Ivy League schools, Yale is on the smaller side. Columbia University and Cornell University, for example, have much larger student bodies with approximately 33,000 students and 24,000 students respectively. On the other hand, Dartmouth College and Princeton University are on the smaller side with total enrollments of around 6,500 and 8,800 respectively.
So, while Yale's student population isn't the smallest among the Ivy League, it's also far from the largest. This means that even though it's a globally recognized institution with a diverse body of students, it still maintains a relatively intimate campus community feel. The faculty-to-student ratio at Yale is about 1:6, which is a testament to the emphasis they place on personalized learning and interaction. The smaller campus community size usually facilitates stronger relationships between students and faculty, as well as among students.
These numbers can fluctuate slightly from year to year, so it's always a good idea to check the most updated figures on the Yale University's official website.
