I'm trying to get a feel for the size of the University of Washington. Does anyone know approximately how many students are enrolled there? Is it considered a large university?
The University of Washington is indeed considered a large university. As of Fall 2024, the Seattle campus has approximately 50,000 students. This total is comprised of around 34,000 undergraduate students and about 16,000 graduate students. With this many students, the campus has a vibrant, diverse community with a wide array of interests and activities. You'll find a myriad of clubs, organizations, and events. However, keep in mind that because it is such a large university, it could take some time to find where you fit in and to build your own smaller community within the larger campus.
