I'm looking for a campus with a lot of people where I can meet a lot of new faces. So just out of curiosity, does anyone know offhand which college in the United States has the highest student population?
If you're interested in schools with a large student population, Arizona State University in Tempe claims to have one of the largest undergraduate enrollments in the U.S. According to recent data, ASU's four campuses have a combined undergraduate population of about 80,000. That's a lot of potential new faces!
However, keep in mind that a larger population doesn't necessarily mean a more diverse or vibrant community. There are many factors to consider in evaluating the campus climate such as student organizations, programs, clubs, and a host of others. The culture and community of universities with smaller student populations can be just as rich and dynamic as those of larger ones.
