Largest D3 School Enrollments - where to look?

I'm aiming to apply to some Division 3 schools that have pretty big student bodies. Does anyone have a list or know of some of the largest D3 schools by enrollment? Just trying to find some with a balance of academics, sports, and a larger student community.

I can help you with that! Division 3 colleges vary in size, and some have quite sizable student communities. Here are a few D3 schools known for their larger enrollments:

1. New York University (NYU) - With nearly 30,000 undergraduates, NYU is one of the largest D3 schools in the nation. They have a strong focus on academics, and their student body is diverse and active.

2. University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) - With a student body of around 6,200 undergraduates, the University of St. Thomas offers robust academics and a close-knit community. They have a tradition of strong athletic programs.

3. Brandeis University - Located in Massachusetts, Brandeis enrolls around 3,600 undergraduate students. They are known for their academics and have a variety of sports and clubs to get involved in.

4. University of Rochester - With an undergraduate enrollment of around 6,700, the University of Rochester, located in New York, offers a good balance of academics and athletics, with numerous sports teams and clubs to choose from.

5. Emory University - Emory is another D3 school with a relatively large student body, of around 7,100 undergraduate students. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Emory has strong academics and a variety of sports and clubs to join.

Keep in mind that there's more to consider beyond enrollment size. Don't forget to research other factors like location, available majors, campus culture, and financial aid opportunities when evaluating which schools might be the best fit for you.

Good luck with your college search!
