If Alabama counted students like A&M, we could claim 58,000 in the University of Alabama system.
Eh, those numbers aren't for the entire system.
As stated the main campus is 53K anyway. Not the 59K including satellites of the main campus. It's not completely a semantic difference, as Qatar and Galveston get A&M diplomas and rings. The system schools do not. Like A&M Kingsville etc...
The system itself has 114,000. (As of 2011) And that's more than likely far lower than the UT System numbers.

The full A&M System is actually up to 131k now. It is accurate that Galveston, Qatar, and the Law and Med schools are considered part of the main campus while the others are not (Prairie View, West Texas A&M, etc.)
The main campus is also the 4th largest University in the US and almost 86% of the students are from Texas. There are some plans in place for the main campus to reach 75k in the coming years with 25k engineering students alone. The money is there to support it without a dropoff in quality as the Endowment is soon to exceed $9 Billion, 2nd among Public Universities.
It is staggering how big the numbers are getting.
