"Personally, I think Cleveland is at a disadvantage by not having a "dominant" university associated with it. I know it has Cleveland State and Case, but do they add up to an OSU, UC, UA, or UT? "

 

 

If you add up CWRU, CIM, CIA, Clevelant State, OCPM, Dike (or whatever it is called now) etc. you probalby get about 35,000 students. That is close to Ohio State and larger than any of the rest.

 

I think UC is about 35,000 or more now. Also, there are other universities in Cincinnati (as I'm sure there are in other Ohio cities) such as Mt. St. Joe, Xavier, and various other smaller schools.

^UC website says 39,667.

I think that figure is spread between the main campus, Edgecliff, and Ramond Walters campuses.  It might include the medical school too, which is obviously very close.

I wouldn't call 35,000 students "close to Ohio State" since OSU has around 51,000 students.  That's nearly 16,000 more students than the others combined (basically a whole Wright State more).  Plus, Columbus has ODU, Otterbien, Franklin (which I believe is 11,000 students), Capital, etc

 

Though if Cleveland can create an urban campus for CSU, I think it'd improve that eastern part of downtown tremendously!

These enrollment figures can be very misleading.  There are a lot of one-course-a-term students that count just as much as a full timers.  This is especially true at the urban schools.  I wish they'd publish an FTE (full time equivalents) number.

I thought that enrollment numbers was FTE, but I could be wrong.

Don't forget headcount, which is the lowest number.

I doubt enrollment numbers are FTE unless specified... the universities want to seem as big as possible.

I would say the number is closer to 20,000 full-time. The large part-time population at CSU is tough to handicap. I would say that pretty that it would be safe to assume that about 90%-ish of CWRU, CCPM, CIM and CIA are full time.

 

All numbers are from the university websites.

CWRU = 10,000

CIM=450

CIA=500

CCPM=375

CSU=16,000(According to the website 8000 are part time)

Meyers/Chancellor University- No idea but I'll say another 1000 based on their facilities.

 

If you include the small privates in the burbs you add another 8000 students.

 

JCU=3700

BW=4300

 

We still aren't even close to Columbus or Cincy within the city.
