What's the student population at Oklahoma State University?

I'm researching schools and trying to get a vibe about campuses. Can anyone tell me how many students are currently attending Oklahoma State University? What does the campus feel like in terms of size?

As of 2024, Oklahoma State University in Stillwater has a total student population of approximately 27,000. This includes both undergraduate and graduate students.

Despite the large student population, Oklahoma State University maintains a vibrant and tightly-knit community. The campus is designed to accommodate this population and as such, it is relatively large with vast green spaces, architectural buildings, residence halls, and recreational facilities all spread out.

Students often describe the university as having a big campus feel due to its amenities and variety of activities, but with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that lends it a small-campus sense of community. This might be because many initiatives, such as living-learning communities and sports events, foster camaraderie among students.

Remember that a college's physical size does not always directly correlate to what its campus environment feels like. It's also about how the space is designed, organized, and integrated into the larger community. For instance, smart organization of space can sometimes make a large campus feel small and navigable, while a physically small campus might feel crowded or cramped.

When thinking about campus size, consider how you might interact with the campus in your daily life as a student. Consider what you want in terms of residence halls, libraries, dining halls, athletic facilities, music or art venues, outdoor spaces, etc.
