Hey, everyone. Being part of a large, diverse student body is something that appeals to me. So, can anyone point me in the direction of colleges with the largest student enrollments?
Sure, I'd be happy to point you to some schools with large student bodies! Keep in mind that these numbers may fluctuate year-to-year, so it's always a good idea to double-check these figures.
- Arizona State University on the Tempe campus holds the title for the largest public university in the U.S. by enrollment, with over 57,144 students.
- The University of Central Florida, boasts over 69,320 students across its many campuses, with about 60,000 on the main campus in Orlando.

- Similarly, Texas A&M University in College Station boasts over 52,000 students.
