Do you have land mass for campuses? Texas A&M -- 5500 acres
And that's just the main campus. If you add some of the adjunct functions from the system that have a tie to A&M's historic land-grant function (such as all the acreage around the state owned by Texas AgriLife Extension) you might could double that.

That just gives a campus a completely different feel than most traditional campuses. Arkansas has really made an emphasis on a dense, walkable campus. I can't imagine going to a school where I might drive across campus to get from class to class.
And downtown and Dickson is all right off campus. You really could live in Fayetteville without a car and enjoy everything a college student needs.

Tarleton State University has actually been part of TAMUS since 1917.

That includes a big portion of West Campus which is undeveloped and the Bush Library, which has a ton of greenspace around it and is isolated from the rest of the school. A&M's campus is very big, but Northgate is still walkable from most of main campus and if you have a bike you're fine with living in any of the neighborhoods close to campus.

TAMU's main campus is pretty walkable, actually. Yeah, it's big, but it's still more convenient to walk. It's when you have classes on West Campus (across the railroad tracks that parallel Kyle Field) that things can get a little dicey. Still, there's a pretty comprehensive bus system at A&M that makes all the main buildings easier to get to.
I used to walk across campus from the Corps dorms on the south side to my classes at the business school on West Campus. If I missed a bus, it was still only about a 15 minute brisk walk.

Actually most majors are concentrated on one side or the other. Business, agriculture, and vet school programs are on West Campus and everything else is on East Campus.
If any program has commute issues it's the Architecture program with its facilities split between East Campus and its research center way out at Riverside Campus (NW of Bryan).

Thanks, for clarifying. I meant the guaranteed acceptance, but did not make that clear. By no means did I suggest they would qualify for financial aid by being in top 10% .That is a whole different ball game.
Our son attended TCU, and made his home in Texas after graduation. Ironically, he is excited for TCU to join Big XII conference and we (both graduates of Mizzou) are excited to be a part of SEC conference!

Solid thread, although some of those numbers are misleading. Vanderbilt is a lot smaller than the number listed due to postgrad studies. I bet they have the highest number of postgrad percentage in the SEC. Roughly 5,500 of that 12,000.
Oh, and Ole Miss was around 9,000 when my sister enrolled in 1997. Next month, Ole Miss anticipates being near 17,800.

I'm actually really happy for TCU

I think the numbers are undergrads only.
Here are the numbers from the Wikipedia article on the SEC that include both graduate and undergraduate students at the main campus only (not system wide or branches):
Florida--51474
Georgia--35520
Kentucky--26054
Missouri--33805
South Carolina--30721
Tennessee--27523
Vanderbilt--12093
Alabama--31747
Arkansas--23153
Auburn--25078
LSU--28985
MS State--21424
Ole Miss--19822
A&M--52585
I would have made Florida and A&M permanent rivals so as to emphasize their size and depth of academic offerings.

You can add 168 acres to the University of Alabama's.
They bought the Bryce land adjacent to the University, about a year ago. Something they've been wanting to do for decades.
Alabama's tentative plans for the land is: A new Aquatic Center, 2nd Student Rec Center, additional academic buildings, parking, dorms, a 2nd Quad, and a possible performing arts center.
Just to give you an idea.
This is what the University of Alabama just bought:

Auburn, unlike most, isn't looking to expand it's enrollment at all in the near future. They are sitting on that 25,000 number.

its not that bad though. I walked or biked to nearly every class when I was there. Its huge but its basically all in the same self contained square. The only class I drove or bussed to was at the George Bush Library which was about 5 to 10 minutes away from the main campus depending on traffic and where you were coming from.

Surprised that Missouri has that many students.

They don't. The 52k is just a list of College Station... Combined our system is well over 100k.
Posted on 7/4/12 at 1:00 pm to DWag215
State wants to be at 25k by 2020... The longterm goal called for us making it to 20k this year, so we're a good bit ahead of schedule. May make 25k by 2014 or 2015 with the current growth rate.
We finally have an administration that understands the longterm way to close the gap financially is to graduate a similar number of qualified students... As was previously stated by the OM fan in this thread, our schools are negatively judged based on the quality of students we let in(Ayers case) instead of the quality of students that we graduate, which is on par with the majority of the SEC.
