<p>so any schools?</p>
<p>i heard the UC schools all together have like 1.3 million living alumni.</p>
<p>what's the point of combining all the UC schools?</p>
<p>do you think a UCLA grad is going to help out a Cal grad just because they went to a UC school?</p>
<p>well they are all one, i mean same state system schools.</p>
<p>but still considered different....</p>
<p>so i guess the UC state system cannot be considered.</p>
<p>arizona state probably - it does have 50,000 undergrads</p>
<p>Well, of course it would be state schools since they have the most students, So Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, Arizona State, and CAL Publics would lead the way.</p>
<p>The University of Michigan has the greatest amount of alumni</p>
<p>If theres a million alumni, no one really cares.</p>
<p>You won't bother helping out a fellow Cal grad if theres a million of them...</p>
<p>Going to Yale or Chicago or Georgetown is a much more exclusive club though...</p>
<p>I just found out that Penn State has 460,000 living alumni in the 50 states and around the world.</p>
<p>Penn State claims to have the largest dues paying # of alumni. I guess this means something-</p>
<p>India Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>Wisconsin (Madison) ranks in the top numbers- who pays dues?! Not me, I'll donate when I want-.</p>
<p>just a note, the U of Chicago doesnt boast a strong alumni system</p>
<p>in fact, chicago told me that they didnt even have a person living within a 100 miles of the new york city area that was willing to interview me...wat does that tell you about the loyality of alums</p>
<p>The number of alumni isn't nearly as important as the dedication of those alumni, in my opinion.</p>
<p>TheThoughtProcess, large does not always mean impersonal and lacking loyalty and small does not necessarily mean tightknit. Michigan has a huge alumni network (over 400,000) and it is one of the most cohesive and loyal alumni network found anywhere. Wisconsin, Penn State and UT-Austin are similar in that regard. And as Simbajune points out, Chicago, which has a small alumni network (smaller than Georgetown's) isn't that cohesive. It really depends on the school culture.</p>
<p>To the OP, many schools have huge alumni neworks. Columbia, Cornell, Harvard and Penn each have over 200,000 living alums. Michigan, Penn State, Texas-Austin and Wisconsin all have close to half a million living alums. All of those schools have very active alums who work endlessly to help their universities and their students and recent alums.</p>
<p>One in every 114 college graduates has a Penn State degree!</p>
