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.

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.
