Hi everyone, I'm wondering which university in the US has the highest student population. Also, I'd love to know the approximate number of students there. Is there anyone who could help me with this?
The university with the largest student population in the U.S. is Western Governors University (WGU). WGU is a fully online university based in Salt Lake City, Utah. As of a recent report, WGU has an approximate enrollment of over 120,000 students.
But, if you want to consider physical campuses only, the title goes to the University of Central Florida (UCF), based in Orlando, Florida. Its student population has grown rapidly in recent years, and as of the latest official count, UCF has a student population of approximately 72,000.
I hope that helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
