<p>I've only visited Berkeley, and I heard it's a really large campus. Just wondering, which college has the biggest campus?</p>
<p>I think it is Texas A&M University.</p>
<p>It is also a land grant, sea grant, and space grant institution haha</p>
<p>In terms of physical size, I think Stanford is the biggest in the US. But I think that includes areas that aren't really part of the campus but are owned by Stanford anyway, like the Stanford Shopping Center.</p>
<p>If you want to count all the land owned by the U, then UTexas would win. If you want just the campus, there are several that claim it, depending on what you count.</p>
<p>This has been discussed before - do a search for the thread. Sewanee is close with 10,000 (give or take) acres.</p>
<p>Berkeley's campus proper is not very big considering its enrollment, it feels smaller. It's a pedestrian campus that is nicely integrated with the city yet manages to have a lot of greenery and of course great views on the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.</p>
<p>This has been discussed before as mentioned above and Berry College in Georgia with 28,000 acres is the largest single campus. Stanford is about 8,000; University of the South (a/k/a Sewanee) is about 10,000. Berekeley has about 1200 acres.</p>
<p>28,000 acres, wow. That's a big campus.</p>
<p>U Texas has the most, at over 5 million acres, I believe. For private institutions, probably Dartmouth, which has 50,000 acres.</p>
<p>As for the actual campus, probably Texas AM.</p>
<p>Isn't Ohio States' huge too?</p>
<p>NYU--it's campus is all of New York City. ;)</p>
<p>UCD has the largest campus in the UC system: 5,300 acres. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ASU's up there too, people-wise</p>
<p>ETA: nevermind, now I see you meant how much land it has as opposed to how many people it has.</p>
<p>Yeah--a lot of Berry's land is just the North GA mountains. The actual campus part with buildings and such isn't really all that large. Looking at it from the air, it's mostly trees and mountains!</p>
<p>How does UNC-CH compare? I visited and the campus seemed enormous.</p>
<p>In terms of acreage, the Berkeley campus isn't even the largest in the UC system. Davis is much, much bigger. For example, it's over two miles from the university bookstore to the university airport, just to pick two well-known campus landmarks. </p>
<p>Berkeley's campus, in contrast, is so small that it doesn't even have an airport.</p>
<p>
yep...they have farms (well...they should if they have an agriculture program :rolleyes: ). and according to my friend who's going there, i think a winery too, so i'd assume orchards.</p>
<p>and i didnt know they had an airport...now that's just ridiculous...</p>
<p>"How does UNC-CH compare? I visited and the campus seemed enormous."</p>
<p>729 acres. Note that virtually any college with 600 or more acres is going to seem huge, because it is.</p>
<p>Deep Springs College has a working ranch, but it's hard to get a handle on the size. I've seen newspaper articles claiming as few as 32,000 acres and as many as 120,000. It could be that they graze 120,000 acres but own only 32,000. Or it could be that the reporters just flat got it wrong (imagine that). Princeton review says 30,000 acres, so I'm going to bet that's the right number.</p>
<p>Anyway, that has to be one of the largest or THE largest campus.</p>
<p>Now, someone said the U Texas campus has 5 MILLION acres???? I've been to Austin, and I can't imagine that the campus is anywhere near that size. Princeton review says the size is 350 acres. Perhaps there is a large land grant in the endowment, but I think that would be for the entire U Texas system.</p>
<p>Actually, I just checked and UTexas only owns 2.1 million acres of "extra" land. Obviously, this is for the entire system, but land ownership can only be attributed to the system and not each campus, since most of the extra land are largely unused by any university. (like siberia and russia - and again, total land ownership is basically pointless trivia).</p>
