Hey there! I've been browsing different CSU campuses and was wondering how their sizes compare. Can anyone help me understand the size differences among these campuses? Thank you!

Hello! I can definitely provide some insight into the size differences among CSU campuses. I'll outline a few of the larger, medium, and smaller campuses in terms of student enrollment and physical size to give you an idea of their varying scales.

Larger Campuses (in terms of enrollment):

1. CSU Fullerton: Approximately 40,000 students, 236 acres

2. CSU Northridge: Approximately 38,000 students, 356 acres

3. San Diego State University: Approximately 35,000 students, 283 acres

Medium-sized Campuses:

1. San Francisco State University: Approximately 27,000 students, 144 acres

2. CSU Long Beach: Approximately 37,000 students, 322 acres

3. CSU Sacramento: Approximately 31,000 students, 300 acres

Smaller Campuses:

1. CSU Channel Islands: Approximately 7,000 students, 1,200 acres

2. CSU Maritime Academy: Approximately 1,100 students, 82 acres

3. CSU Monterey Bay: Approximately 7,500 students, 1,365 acres

Please note that these numbers are approximate and can change over time. Moreover, the size of the campus doesn't necessarily correlate with the number of students enrolled. For example, CSU Monterey Bay has a large physical campus but hosts a smaller student population compared to other CSUs.

When considering which campus suits you best, you should take into account your preferences for the campus environment, available majors and programs, the local area, and any other factors that may be important to you. I hope this overview helps you understand the differences in size among the CSU campuses. Good luck with your search!
