Hey, guys! I'm starting to research colleges and UCSD caught my interest. Can anyone tell me how large the student population is there?
Sure! The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is one of the larger campuses within the UC system. As of Fall 2023, UCSD had a total student population of just over 43,300 students, which includes both undergraduate and graduate students. The undergraduate population is around 33,000, while the graduate population is close to 10,000.
Keep in mind that UCSD is divided into seven colleges, which provide smaller, more intimate communities within the larger campus. Each college has its own unique educational philosophy, general education requirements, and residential community. While UCSD has a large student population, the college structure can make it feel more personal and provide a sense of belonging within a specific college.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about UCSD.
