MSU Starkville is the largest individual campus in MS by a couple thousand. OM has made up ground the past few years though. MSU needs to do a better job with out of state student recruiting.

Southern Miss used to be up there in numbers with MSU and Ole Miss but they are clearly falling behind. Arkansas has grown at an amazing rate, the student population has nearly doubled since I graduated.

Extremely misleading.
If we played with Ole Miss math we would have a Texas A&M enrollment number.

Ole Miss is one small school.

Ole Miss is trying to get to 30,000 in Oxford.

Ole Miss in Oxford is ~19k. Y'all only have 20k in the entire system.

I actually prefer Ole Miss at smaller numbers. It gives a unique feel just like Fayetteville used to have a decade ago before I-49 became so accessible, NWA exploded and the introduction of the State Lottery.
We have almost doubled the on-campus size and it has completely changed the feel at the UofA. It is bigger, better and more educated than when I was there but there is also a much different vibe. The one good thing about Fayetteville campus, we are vertical in the mountains, therefore it keeps the intimacy rather than a school like Texas A&M, Alabama or MSU expanding outward.

There was a brief period a decade ago when UCA was peaking and Arkansas had like 18k students, UCA was at around 14k and growing faster every year. People were speculating that UCA would outgrow Arkansas. Now UCA is back around 11,700 and we are steamrolling towards 28-30k.

I remember USM actually being the biggest school in the state for a brief period sometime around 10-15 years ago if I remember correctly.

That's because Fayetteville is beautiful, and U of Arkansas provides a flagship university experience. Why would you wanna go to Central Michigan when you have the option of Ann Arbor? Growth is going to water down oxford, but it's also necessary for Mississippi's economic health.

I would have been miserable at a school with the enrollment figures some of you are listing. You all seem to have loved it so, I guess it was fine for you. Would have been living hell for me.
Vandy - 6800 undergraduates. All must live on campus.
USN&WR - we went up this year to #16
Avg SAT score - we are ranked #7 of all schools. avg.1490 (M&C
Avg ACT - 33

One is not like the others. Alabama is very much an urban campus. There's only so far it can expand outwards. It will need to start expanding upwards at its current rate.

I can see that. I don't know if the jump between say 18k and 26k is really all that huge for Arkansas. It has increased the on-campus living population by maybe 1500-2000, and it has limited on-campus living options almost exclusively to freshmen due to lack of space, and the apparent inability of the school to build more dorms. Greek Life is booming, and there has been a lot of construction although most of that seems over.
I think its been good for the bars and local business community for sure, though. It makes a big difference in a real college town when you increase the number of 18-22 year olds by 8,000 kids.
In reference to your size preference, I couldn't imagine having my undergrad experience in a large city rather than a college town. A campus of 25-30k kids in a town of 40-80k people still sounds more manageable and easy than a campus of 10k in the middle of a city of 500k.
