What's the Largest Univeristy?

[Geforcekj]

What is it in the USA?

University of British Columbia ~35,000 students.
University of Toronto has over 50,000 students.

/edit Though it might be UCLA but that is only 12,000

 

[Geforcekj]

any ideas?

OSU-Ohio State University: 50,000+ I believe. Thats the largest in the US at least.

 

[Geforcekj]

Anything in Europe?? There must be something HUGE in Europe.

university of phoenix

According to USNews OSU only has ~36,000 students (unless you count graduate school, in which case I'm not sure). University of Texas was listed with 37,000 undergrads so I bet they're the most populated school in the US.

I heard that Wisconsin is a huge university also. But I remember from playing NCAA '99 on playstation that OSU was listed as having the most students (the fact sheets while the game loads)

 

[ElFenix]

university of texas was the largest last fall. around 51,000 students. (grad+undergrad) new enrollment figures will come out in a couple weeks and we'll see if we still are.

I think ASU (Arizona State University) is the largest one west of the Mississippi and in the top 5 overall in the US. Or used to be anyway.

I thought they listed enrollment as 60,000 plus several years ago...? I remember it was an almost unbelievable number that dwarfed other Pac10 schools.

 

[ElFenix]

ASU counts 3 campuses to do that.

UT-Austin is 51000+ by itself.

 

[BeeVo]

I agree with superkieth....There is a University of Pheonix in just about every state. We have three of them here in Utah.

 

[dawks]

Theres about 27,000-33,000 at the University of Saskatchewan

About two years ago, there was 48,000 at the University of Alberta

 

[damocles]

this is big

Bangalore World University is one of the finest institutions of higher learning in the solar system?and definitely the largest. From its humble beginnings as a teachers? college in India, BWU has grown to encompass 10 primary campuses and 90 extension campuses that educate more than 1.3 million students, all of whom are proud Golden Lions. If you have what it takes, you can become one of us.

I think Open University in the Uk is the largest in the world

 

[WillyF1uhm1]

Stateuniversity of Utrecht (Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht, RUU) and Stateuniversity of Groningen (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, RUG) in the Netherlands are hovering around the 20,000 mark.

And there are no campuses. Students have to take care of housing and the like, for themselves.

I think it really depends on how you count everything.

Penn State University has about 41,000 students enrolled at the Main Campus.
The University has branch campuses, spread throughout the state, where a lot of students do the first 2 years of a four year degree.
If you include the Penn State University system, there are more than 80,000 students.

And I don't think this is the largest university in the US. Don't know which one is though.

If youre talking 1 campus, Ohio State and Texas are the 2 biggest. We always rotate, depending on the outgoing and incoming classes.

Penn St doesnt count, they have 20-something campuses.

 

[MasterHoss]

Yeah, it's UT at Austin (currently) and if they keep up their stupid admissions policy, we'll keep growing and growing and...... At least Ohio St. got smarter and they're population is shrinking down to a more resonable size.

Anyway-- Geforcekj, I find your original post funny--unless British Columbia and Toronto is part of the USA.

 

[NeoV]

War OSU!!

I think U of Minnesota is up there as well....

I have to give UT props for the women on campus...wow....OSU isn't bad at all, but wow for UT!

 

[nateholtrop]

Mich State may house the most but Ohio State and U of Texas have the largest enrollment.

 

[rangeLife]

I think its Ohio St. Although, thats just based on hear say.
