Quick reference of school sizes (since it has come up lately)

Just putting this here to help with discussion. I know the numbers are not exact, but should be good enough to get in the general ballpark of school sizes. I can't remember if I did undergrad only or total, but I was consistent in how I did it. The ones with yellow highlight on the numbers are private schools.

Quick reference of school sizes (since it has come up lately) ◄
HokieAl • 06/13/24 10:12 PM ET
Thanks for the list. Do you know of a list of living alumni?**
IB4TECH • 06/15/24 09:09 AM ET
ACC with 8 of the bottom 13.
LonghornHokie • 06/15/24 06:07 AM ET
Good info but at the end of the day
Vippie1 • 06/14/24 05:29 PM ET
Georgia Tech at 48k? Don't think that's correct.**
hokiesrule98 • 06/14/24 03:42 PM ET
It includes undergrad, grad and online grad students from what have read. **
RJHokie • 06/14/24 03:52 PM ET
Heck. Liberty has about a million of those mail order degrees**
HokieR • 06/14/24 09:32 PM ET
USF is 50K
Truthahn • 06/14/24 02:02 PM ET
Here's an interesting youtube video on various factors of universities

Tony Altimore doesn't look like the same guy on his Twitter (X) photo**
HouClone • 06/14/24 02:52 PM ET
Who determines which school is the "flagship"?
Maroon Baboon • 06/14/24 12:39 PM ET
It's usually the first public university founded
mrcaniac • 06/14/24 07:37 PM ET
William & Mary became bankrupt and then taken over by the state in 1906. **
RJHokie • 06/14/24 07:49 PM ET
UNC is the flagship schools of NC's university system. VA does not have
IB4TECH • 06/14/24 07:22 PM ET
UNC was considered NC's flagship university before the UNC system existed.
tarheelblue • 06/14/24 08:41 PM ET
UPenn is a private school
dayooper • 06/14/24 03:41 PM ET
I thought it just means the main location in a group.
Truthahn • 06/14/24 02:11 PM ET
Naming conventions vary by state, nobody would argue for Ohio over OSU
HokieNoVA • 06/14/24 02:00 PM ET
THE first rule....
mjfhokie • 06/14/24 02:08 PM ET
I don't accept that!
EDGEMAN • 06/14/24 12:42 PM ET
Temple has 39,581. They should be better in football than they are.**
OrlandoHokie • 06/14/24 10:41 AM ET
I like to see alumni data as well, but WELL done**
DMV Gobbler • 06/14/24 08:13 AM ET
Stat clarification
CMU Hokie • 06/14/24 07:48 AM ET
Living alumni is important for several reasons. But can be deceptive.
marcbvtgm • 06/14/24 12:26 PM ET
I've started digging into the alumni numbers and they are very inconsistent
HokieAl • 06/14/24 12:30 PM ET
Yep. Sort of like the numbers schools report to US News & World Report.**
marcbvtgm • 06/14/24 12:36 PM ET
If online is included, wouldn't Liberty be top 10? I think GMU has a bunch
Lakeridgehokie • 06/14/24 11:05 AM ET
Here’s a list of the top 10 from Wiki
I85Hokie • 06/14/24 08:38 AM ET
Hmmm, Rutgers is highlighting some of the questions below
HokieAl • 06/14/24 09:11 AM ET
Interesting point. That would take a lot of digging to separate out**
HokieAl • 06/14/24 08:33 AM ET
This IPEDS website has it all but it has a learning curve attached.
33laszlo99 • 06/14/24 11:13 AM ET
Are all the aTm students on one campus, or does that include multiple...
EDGEMAN • 06/14/24 05:30 AM ET
Looks like it is mostly the main campus
HokieAl • 06/14/24 08:30 AM ET
Wow! That's a city**
EDGEMAN • 06/14/24 08:42 AM ET
This looks like combined UG & Grad. GT has fewer than 20,000 UG.
33laszlo99 • 06/13/24 11:16 PM ET
Georgia Tech counting France and China campuses? Why not Liberty?
mjfhokie • 06/14/24 09:09 AM ET
Great explanation mjf
Captain Hokie • 06/14/24 05:33 PM ET
Yeah the more questions I see, I'm now digging below surface level
HokieAl • 06/14/24 09:13 AM ET
Yeah its combined. GT has ~18K undergrads but ~27K grad students.**
UpstateSCHokie • 06/14/24 06:51 AM ET
Undergrads are much more important than grads wrt to athletics support**
marcbvtgm • 06/14/24 12:37 PM ET
How does Notre Dame do it?
MVIII • 06/13/24 10:47 PM ET
Subway Alumni**
TerryD • 06/14/24 02:30 PM ET
ND's an outlier due to legacy. Helps that it's only 1hr+ from Chicago.**
marcbvtgm • 06/14/24 12:40 PM ET
They have had an amazing number of fans who are fans
Pylons • 06/14/24 09:58 AM ET
Yep, my mother-in-law is a ND fan because she is Catholic.
Truthahn • 06/14/24 02:16 PM ET
Must be a mid-west Catholic thing, I went to Catholic school for K-12
HokieNoVA • 06/14/24 10:40 AM ET
The distribution of Catholic schools is somewhat lopsided.**
33laszlo99 • 06/14/24 12:35 PM ET
Was also big in the northeast. Lots of us NJ Catholics were huge fans
Gadfly • 06/14/24 11:37 AM ET
I'm not catholic, but I was a fan as a kid. They had that Sunday morning
reestuart • 06/14/24 11:59 AM ET
Certainly seemed like a thing growing up in PA**
Pylons • 06/14/24 11:29 AM ET
They had a bunch of black and white movies to grow their fan base...
EDGEMAN • 06/14/24 05:32 AM ET
Exactly
RTFC • 06/14/24 12:20 PM ET
A retired Navy master chief who grew up in NYC...
EDGEMAN • 06/14/24 12:38 PM ET
That's a lot of ACC schools at the bottom. Two more than a year ago.**
