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.

I have to think the run away success of the SEC has helped lure students to the campuses, particularly for the schools that have traditionally been reasonably small. It certainly will change the college towns quite a bit. Fayetteville is more developed then it used to be when I was a student.

Sigh, the old days, vast herds of aging hippies and art students bumming smokes off of each other on Dixon. We didn't establish a sufficient captive breeding population to keep their numbers up in the wild and now they are endangered in all but the most filthy coffee houses. Let that be a warning to Oxford, Starkville, and the other SEC campuses.

The fact that you have a campus in a country that practices slavery in 2014 is pretty shameful.
