Top colleges by enrollment size?

Hey all! I'm starting my college search and I think school size is a big factor for me. Does anyone happen to know of some top colleges (in terms of academics and reputation) that have larger student enrollment numbers? Thanks for any help!

Hey! School size can definitely make a difference in your college experience. Here are some top colleges with large undergraduate enrollment numbers (over 15,000) sorted by academic reputation and general prestige:

1. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (UMich): ~31,000 undergraduates

2. University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA): ~31,000 undergraduates

3. University of California - Berkeley (UC Berkeley): ~30,000 undergraduates

4. University of Wisconsin - Madison (UW Madison): ~30,000 undergraduates

5. The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin): ~40,000 undergraduates

6. University of Florida (UF): ~38,000 undergraduates

7. The Ohio State University (OSU): ~46,000 undergraduates

8. University of Southern California (USC): ~19,000 undergraduates

9. University of Washington (UW): ~32,000 undergraduates

10. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill): ~19,000 undergraduates

All of these schools are well-known for their strong academics and excellent reputations across various fields. Note that because these are larger universities, they tend to have a wide array of majors and programs, so you might have more choices in terms of your academic path. Keep in mind that while a larger student body can mean more diversity and opportunities, it might also mean larger class sizes, especially in introductory courses. Make sure to research each university to see if their programs and offerings align with your goals and preferences. Good luck with your college search!
