I love the energy of a big university. I'm currently beginning my search for colleges and I'm considering North Carolina. Does anyone know which are the largest colleges in NC by population?
Absolutely, North Carolina is home to quite a few large universities and it's a great place to be a student.
- North Carolina State University (NC State) in Raleigh is the largest university in North Carolina by undergraduate enrollment, with about 28,000 undergraduates.
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill), another top-ranking school, also has a large undergraduate population with approximately 20,000 undergraduate students.
- The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) has about 24,000 undergraduate students.
- East Carolina University in Greenville with over 22,000 undergraduate students is another option to consider.
- Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, has about 19,000 undergraduates.
Please note that the figures I've given are approximations, they can vary slightly from year to year. When researching which university fits best for you, don't just consider size but also academic programs, location, student life, and financial aspects. Good luck on your college search!
