Hey everyone, anyone here familiar with the University of Dayton? I'm curious about the student population there; how big is the campus, and does it feel crowded or more close-knit? Thanks for any insight!
Hello! The University of Dayton has a fairly moderate student population. As of the latest data, there are about 11,000 students enrolled, with around 8,000 of them being undergraduate students. The campus itself spans roughly 388 acres, which should feel relatively spacious for the number of students attending.
Although your experience may vary depending on personal preferences and specific locations on campus, overall, the university is known for its welcoming and close-knit community. With a balanced campus size and a moderate student population, there is a good blend of larger crowds for more energetic and social events, as well as smaller settings to build close friendships and enjoy a tight-knit atmosphere.
Of course, the best way to get a feel for the campus and its environment is to visit if you can or attend virtual tours or information sessions. Don't hesitate to reach out to current students or alumni to get their perspective on campus life as well. Good luck!
