You want a break down? It looks like the actual Oxford campus shrank by 400 students last year:
LINK
Total enrollment - 23,096
Minus...
UMMC - 2,984
Tupelo - 905
Southaven - 923
Booneville - 89
Grenada - 110
That leaves Oxford enrollment as: 18,085
By comparison, the Fayetteville campus added 900 to its total over last year.

Enrollment for Fall 2014 is at an all-time high, with a total of 23,096 students -- an increase of 805 students or 3.6% over last fall.
------
A record 2,984 students are enrolled at the UM Medical Center in Jackson, up by 250 students (9.1%) over last fall.
For this year’s freshmen class, the average ACT score is 24.3 and Overall High School GPA is 3.49—both of which are the highest in UM history.
Demand remains strong at UM's Regional Campuses:
Tupelo (905 students), Southaven (923 students), Booneville (89 students), and Grenada (110 students).

No offense taken EKG and I appreciate the write up. 
I think A&M is certainly better equipped than many other schools at accommodating that amount of students. In the end, it's these differences that we end up finding endearing about our different universities.
I do also think that education as we know it is going to transform dramatically in the coming decades. Student loans will become unsustainable as tuition soars and more and more students go to get a college degree (since it is pretty much a requirement for a good job) which in turn will water down the potency of that degree in securing a good job. The digital age will change things (not talking about the failed attempts of Everest etc). Spending 4 years going to college racking up debt is an old concept that many will look for a competitive alternative. Once that competitive alternative is there, affordable and accepted, enrollment in our traditional brick and mortar schools will begin to fall. There will be an education bubble that will burst and those that are trying to grow as fast as possible will be left with an overinflated infrastructure that they can no longer support.
Just my thoughts.

A&M is a great school. Huge, but also a really good school.

Yeah, University of Arkansas system is a whole other thing.
Here's a relatively accurate breakdown of the campuses.
LINK
The Fayetteville branch of the law school is included in Fayetteville campus numbers because it is actually on the Fayetteville campus. Everything else is independent, otherwise "University of Arkansas enrollment tops 50,000 students!"
12 campuses, including 5 of the community college "branch" type campuses.

LSU has way too many satellite campuses. The system needs to shut down Alexandria and Eunice, plus give LSUS to Louisiana Tech. LSU already has its med school in New Orleans and is getting a brand new facility, and the only thing LSUS is good for is the med school.
Eunice is nothing more than a baseball pipeline

Comparing farm land was not what I was referring to

LSU''s total BR campus enrollment in the spring of 2000 was 30861. Whatever you think their approach is, the University has definitely not sold out just to keep their stats climbing.

Now, if you add the enrollment from LSU Alexandria, LSU Eunice and LSU Shereveport, it is considerably more than 30,861.

Look at the enrollment numbers of both LSU and Bama in the last 10-15 years. We have both exploded numbers wise. We have taken the same approach

UT can't really get bigger. We are landlocked by the river and the city of Knoxville. Adding more students would be a mistake, we're at our carrying capacity, and were okay with it.

We have grown by 3,000 students just in the last 3 years. He was comparing system enrollment in 2000 to main campus enrollment in 2015. A little intellectually dishonest dont you think?

LSU took had huge growth until 2005, then steadied out, and now is on the path of growing again Im not sure why yall dont want to believe me
We are at 44k now as a system. I am ok with our main campus at 30, that is a sustainable number that we have held at for a few years. But 14k through the other campuses is ridiculous like the other poster said

That brings up another point. Why is LSU not at 44k in the OP'S list? It looks like others schools are listed at their system enrollment
