I'm in the process of building my college list and I'm curious about University of New Orleans. Can anyone tell me what the student population is like there?
The University of New Orleans has a moderately-sized student body. As of the most recent data, there are approximately 8,000 students enrolled at the University of New Orleans, including both undergraduate and graduate students. The undergraduate student population makes up the bulk of the school's enrollment.
However, the raw numbers don't always give the full picture of the campus environment — consider also looking at their student-faculty ratio, which can provide an indication of the type of personal attention you'll get in your classes. For instance, the University of New Orleans has a student to faculty ratio of 19:1. And, just for reference, about 80% of their classes have less than 30 students.
Remember, it's not too little or too many students that make a school the right fit: it’s what you make of the opportunities there.
