About This List

We're not going to insult your intelligence by describing this list. But we will say that all enrollment figures are for the 2017-2018 school year unless otherwise noted. And they represent the total enrollment (undergrad and grad students). Okay, that's more detail than we intended. But it's better to be clear.
