Hey guys, as I'm beginning my college search, I've been considering large universities since I'm interested in a big campus and diverse student body. Can anyone give me a list or point me in the right direction to find out which are the largest universities in the USA? Thank you!

1. University of Central Florida (UCF) - around 60,000 undergraduates
2. The Ohio State University (OSU) - around 46,000 undergraduates
3. Florida International University (FIU) - around 45,000 undergraduates
4. Texas A&M University - around 45,000 undergraduates

Keep in mind that these numbers can change over time, so be sure to check the schools' websites for the most up-to-date enrollment figures. Larger universities typically have a wider variety of course offerings, extensive research opportunities, more clubs and organizations, and vibrant social scenes. However, they can also have larger class sizes and might feel overwhelming to some students.
As you research these schools, be sure to explore factors like location, academics, campus culture, and available resources to determine the best fit for your needs and preferences. Good luck with your college search!
