What universities have the highest enrollment?

Hey all, I'm curious to know which universities in the country have the highest student enrollment. I'd just like to compare and get a sense of the scale some of these institutions are operating on. Can someone fill me in? Thanks in advance.

Sure thing, I can definitely give you some insight on that!

When it comes to sheer size in terms of student body, a few universities really stand out:

1. University of Phoenix, Online: This online-only, for-profit university actually holds the spot for the highest enrollment with over 90,000 students as of 2024, though it's worth bearing in mind this is a very different format to traditional, campus-based institutions.

2. Western Governors University: Another primarily online institution with over 120,000 students.

3. Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis: IUPUI has a massive number of enrollments, with approximately 29,000 students.

4. The University of Central Florida: The University of Central Florida is one of the largest universities by undergraduate enrollment with around 60,000 undergraduates.

5. Ohio State University: Another large institution with over 60,000 undergraduates.

6. University of Florida: Also has a large student population with around 50,000 students.

7. Texas A&M University: This university is one of the biggest in terms of size, with around 70,000 students.

Remember though, a higher number of students doesn't necessarily translate to a better student experience or better resources. Larger universities often have more variety in terms of majors and classes offered, but they also mean larger class sizes, and sometimes less individual attention from teaching staff. Make sure to consider these aspects when looking at potential colleges.
