Hey, I'm thinking about applying to UNC Wilmington – but I'm not sure about the size of the student body. Can anyone share information on the total student population?
UNC Wilmington, like many state universities, has a sizable student body. As of the most recent data, the total student population at the University of North Carolina Wilmington is roughly 18,000, which includes both undergraduate and graduate students. Of those students, approximately 15,000 are undergraduates and the remaining students, around 3,000, are graduate students. This makes UNC Wilmington sizable enough to offer diverse perspectives, clubs, and sports, but not so large that you get lost in the crowd. The student-faculty ratio at UNC Wilmington is 17:1, meaning for every 17 students, there’s 1 faculty member, which is a pretty good ratio. This could mean more access to professors and a closer-knit academic community within your major or department. Is there anything specific you're curious about in a school's size?
