Yeah I guess averaging 25k before Michigan was due to the Michigan win...

Yikes.

This. App was fine before the Mich win. Their leadership had put the athletic program in the right direction years before that win. Also, fun fact GS beat them that year...

Winning is what puts butts in the seats. Not media market, academic rep, local population, or playing in a dome. Having most of you students actually on a real campus or within a couple of miles at most help tremendously as well. If media market or local population size mattered in the least Hofstra would still have a football program and AL would not crack the top 25. I have no idea why colleges in large cities think there is any advantage when there is absolutely no evidence it helps on the field.

Yeah, we get it , you hate GSU. Yet none of what you said has anything to do with the quoted posts. As for your last sentence, what colleges think that? Do you mean colleges or athletic programs. If you mean colleges then yes you are in an advantageous situation in being in a large metro area. It brings research dollars and corporate dollars. If you're talking athletics no athletic program thinks that except in two related fields of conference affiliation and TV market. You're in a disadvantage in almost every other area in a large city. Ask USF and Temple about building an OCS. Not sure how media market, academic rep or the Georgia Dome entered the discussion. You will find people will better understand you if you just say "I hate Atlanta and GSU!". Shorter and to the point.

Funny I never mentioned GaState specifically and that is not the line you and the three or four other GaState fans were spouting just a few years ago on our board.All we heard about was playing in the dome, ATL this ATL that, media market blah blah..when it came to athletics. You could actually save everyone a lot of time by just putting in you sig, "I will spin any and every action,decision that GaState makes into it was the best decision ever in the entire world and any attribute of GaState is only advantageous". Honestly, you are worse than Baghdad Bob. You also do not need to be in a large city in raising research dollars and or corporate get corporate donations. UGA has no more trouble raising funds than GT. There are just as many high ranked national universities located outside large cities than in. I dont think the colleges located in small towns like Ithaca, Durham, South Bend, Evanston, Hanover etc has ever held them back. For every school you can name in a urban/city setting there is one just a good in a suburban/rural setting. Again no correlation, in academic rep, quality of student, budget etc etc For all your advantages in being in a large city, doctoral classification, and a 20+ year head start being a university and you still can't attract a higher quality undergrad than lil ole GS out in the sticks...

Struggling to understand what your original post had to do with the quoted posts... still. You didn"t mention GSU, true. I guess you meant the other school that plays in a dome in large media market.

Regarding the bolded part. I didn't say that you couldn't raise research dollars in a small town. But I'm your Huckleberry. First of all eliminate Durham and Northwestern. Evanston is a suburb located in a Metro Area of 8M. Durham is located in a Metro Area of 1.4M that is almost exclusively dedicated to the business of research. Ithaca? They are Ivy League! You mention UGA which is a flagship which is laughable. In fact how many non flagship, non land grant, non private school universities are located in small towns and carry a Carnegie RU/VH designation? Not many.

All this by the way has little to nothing to do with the posts you quoted or the subject of this thread.

Not necessarily. I discount the online students when accounting for how big the "student body" actually is. In categorizing, the State does not use the online numbers when ranking the U's. Nor do they use all campuses. TXST, UTA & UNT are constantly juxtaposing positions in the attendance hierarchy of Texas.
This list is 2+ years old
Texas Universities By Enrollment

Wish someone would update it.

The 36k number, when finalized, is the official, coordinating board-approved number. However, I think the University is wise to also show a global number to help convey a sense of IMPACT.

I tend to agree with this. I don't know if the number (which is actually the Fall enrollment for TXST) includes the Round Rock Campus. I can't find#s for that (nursing school) and nothing that may or may not have split enrollments for the 2. I am fairly certain the thread is tending towards how many students attend the physical main campus.

Georgia State is almost the same, yet they have a football team, kind of. If they can do it, I bet UTA could too.

The difference is that UTA hates to be made fun of.

I would take exception but its common knowledge that USA is not a rival.

Yes, you are correct. The first couple of years South considered GSU-Atlanta sort of a rival, but our program progressed.

edited to change the UTD and UTEP dorms to 100% UNIVERSITY owned not private

I was wondering about that. what dorms there are at utd are on campus. would be surprised if any could be privately owned..maybe privately managed. I'm surprised that utep has so few if that # is correct. that school has been in existance a long time. one would figure that they would have a lot of housing. the undergrad numbers seem about right. some of these schools have a large number of grad students.

In categorizing, the State does not use the online numbers when ranking the U's. Nor do they use all campuses. TXST, UTA & UNT are constantly juxtaposing positions in the attendance hierarchy of Texas.
This list is 2+ years old
Texas Universities By Enrollment

Wish someone would update it.

The 36k number, when finalized, is the official, coordinating board-approved number. However, I think the University is wise to also show a global number to help convey a sense of IMPACT.

I tend to agree with this. I don't know if the number (which is actually the Fall enrollment for TXST) includes the Round Rock Campus. I can't find#s for that (nursing school) and nothing that may or may not have split enrollments for the 2. I am fairly certain the thread is tending towards how many students attend the physical main campus.

I had mistakenly put privately owned for UTD and UTEP at first, but they are both 100% university owned

and I was surprised about UTEP as well I am not sure why so few other than the cost of living (and thus rental housing) has probably been very low for a long time and while I have never considered UTEP a "commuter school" they do strive to still have an "every man" mission and to serve non-traditional students (to their detriment somewhat IMO).....El Paso with the Mountains, borders (Mexico and New Mexico) and military bases is somewhat pinched for space to grow and UTEP has a lot of available land....and housing cost in El Paso rise I would not be surprised to see dorm numbers climb rapidly

and the dorm numbers are directly from the 2013 THECB Student Housing report and the enrollments are fall 2014 from the THECB as well

the 2014 THECB housing report should be out any day now (based on the release dates from past years), but the only real changes would be either the number of dorms now under construction VS on planning or new dorms in planning......there might be a couple of schools (Texas Tech being one) that have completed dorms now counted that were previously under construction, but most of those numbers will stay the same for completed dorms or they will move the "under construction" to "completed"

I am interested to see the numbers for future planned dorms and how those change and also the actual numbers and % of beds filled VS available

UH had a lot of available, but they had finished a MASSIVE new dorm late in the time period and too late to get it filled especially since it was relative expensive and it was LARGE in total bed numbers.....I would imagine it is not fully occupied

Yikes.

This. App was fine before the Mich win. Their leadership had put the athletic program in the right direction years before that win. Also, fun fact GS beat them that year...

Winning is what puts butts in the seats. Not media market, academic rep, local population, or playing in a dome. Having most of you students actually on a real campus or within a couple of miles at most help tremendously as well. If media market or local population size mattered in the least Hofstra would still have a football program and AL would not crack the top 25. I have no idea why colleges in large cities think there is any advantage when there is absolutely no evidence it helps on the field.

Yeah, we get it , you hate GSU. Yet none of what you said has anything to do with the quoted posts. As for your last sentence, what colleges think that? Do you mean colleges or athletic programs. If you mean colleges then yes you are in an advantageous situation in being in a large metro area. It brings research dollars and corporate dollars. If you're talking athletics no athletic program thinks that except in two related fields of conference affiliation and TV market. You're in a disadvantage in almost every other area in a large city. Ask USF and Temple about building an OCS. Not sure how media market, academic rep or the Georgia Dome entered the discussion. You will find people will better understand you if you just say "I hate Atlanta and GSU!". Shorter and to the point.

Funny I never mentioned GaState specifically and that is not the line you and the three or four other GaState fans were spouting just a few years ago on our board.All we heard about was playing in the dome, ATL this ATL that, media market blah blah..when it came to athletics. You could actually save everyone a lot of time by just putting in you sig, "I will spin any and every action,decision that GaState makes into it was the best decision ever in the entire world and any attribute of GaState is only advantageous". Honestly, you are worse than Baghdad Bob. You also do not need to be in a large city in raising research dollars and or corporate get corporate donations. UGA has no more trouble raising funds than GT. There are just as many high ranked national universities located outside large cities than in. I dont think the colleges located in small towns like Ithaca, Durham, South Bend, Evanston, Hanover etc has ever held them back. For every school you can name in a urban/city setting there is one just a good in a suburban/rural setting. Again no correlation, in academic rep, quality of student, budget etc etc For all your advantages in being in a large city, doctoral classification, and a 20+ year head start being a university and you still can't attract a higher quality undergrad than lil ole GS out in the sticks...

Struggling to understand what your original post had to do with the quoted posts... still. You didn"t mention GSU, true. I guess you meant the other school that plays in a dome in large media market.

Regarding the bolded part. I didn't say that you couldn't raise research dollars in a small town. But I'm your Huckleberry. First of all eliminate Durham and Northwestern. Evanston is a suburb located in a Metro Area of 8M. Durham is located in a Metro Area of 1.4M that is almost exclusively dedicated to the business of research. Ithaca? They are Ivy League! You mention UGA which is a flagship which is laughable. In fact how many non flagship, non land grant, non private school universities are located in small towns and carry a Carnegie RU/VH designation? Not many.

All this by the way has little to nothing to do with the posts you quoted or the subject of this thread.

You suggested that colleges in large cities somehow have an advantage yet you can show no proof. I showed a ton of schools in the middle of nowhere that are some of the best in the nation, who cares what or who they are today, they did start off in large cities which is the point. Location has never hurt a universities growth, fund raising, athletics, quality of student etc etc. There is no evidence that schools located in large metro areas have ever had any advantage over those in suburban and or even rural areas. No matter at what level, age, designation you want to try an limit it to in an attempt to salvage your unsupported assertion.
