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.

Good thread though.


Personal opinion.. 25-35k student population is the perfect number for a college. I've attended at both Arkansas, then 17,000 students and UCLA at 40,000 students.

Sweet spot is low 30's give you just a big enough college feel yet maintains intimate comfort without the cattle call.

I feel schools are getting too large. It's just glorified HS. I taught at Miss. State and I just wonder how the hell so many got into college. Have the standards lowered? It's just too easy to get in. Schools are going into teaching the masses for an easy buck. So many Frosh classes are in huge setting (100+) and online: it's embarrassing.

I think the Texas A&M system is around approximately 123k total.

I'm not sure of how many hopeful aggies attend Blinn in Bryan but I'm sure it is quite a few as well.

I'd agree whole heartedly. I feel like the amount around campus at Auburn right now is about perfect. Not too large and definitely not too small. You get a little bit of everything with 25K.
