Largest Private Universities in the US

Hey! So I'm set on applying to private universities in the US and I'm curious about the size. Can anyone help me identify some of the largest private universities in America?

Sure, I'd be glad to help. Please remember that "large" can be subjective and might refer either to the student population or to the physical size of the campus.

However, when most people refer to the size of a university, they're talking about the student population. Some of the largest private universities in the United States in terms of undergraduate enrollment include:

1. New York University (NYU) - With over 26,000 undergraduates, NYU is often considered the largest private university in the US.

2. University of Southern California (USC) - Enrolling over 19,000 undergraduates, USC is another significantly large private institution.

3. Northeastern University - Located in Boston, Northeastern has a student population of over 18,000 undergraduate students.

4. Boston University - Another Boston-based institution, Boston University enrolls around 17,000 undergraduates.

Remember, though, that bigger isn't always better. It's important to consider factors like student-to-faculty ratio, class sizes, campus culture, and availability of resources, which can all be impacted by the size of a university's student population.

Also, please note that the above numbers are approximate and for undergraduate enrollment only. The total enrollment (including graduate students) might be significantly higher for some of these institutions.
