	Should University of Phoenix really count...?

	jaymc:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 09:14 GMT	2 points
	Yeah, I deliberated over whether or not to include it, but it is in fact a university. (I didn't include community college systems.) I thought the insanely high enrollment might be a tip-off.

	Gjezman:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 09:35 GMT	3 points
	take phoenix off...i would anyways

	cls121389:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 13:47 GMT	3 points
	should accept usf for South Florida and ucf for Central Florida and fiu for Florida International.

	jaymc:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 17:00 GMT	2 points
	Good idea, thanks.

	justagirl:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 18:56 GMT	3 points
	should also accept fsu. Good quiz though!

	JayHankEdLyon:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 21:42 GMT	0 points
	Phoenix is a university. I'm surprised other onliners like DeVry (Devry?) didn't make it. Still, great quiz. Go Horns!

	jaymc:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 22:14 GMT	5 points
	OK, upon further reflection, I took off Phoenix and changed the name of the quiz to Largest University Campuses in the U.S. (If this were total enrollment across all campuses, I'd have kept it, but it seems unfair to lump Phoenix's "online campus" in with the single-location physical campuses that make up the rest of this quiz.) There's now also a new campus on the list.

	You should accept California and Cal Berkeley.

	jaymc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 02:23 GMT	-3 points
	"Cal Berkeley" is now an alternative. I know Berkeley is sometimes just called "California" -- especially in athletics -- but if I accepted that, it'd have to count for UCLA, too, which is also technically a University of California. I kind of like keeping them separate, but feel free to vote this down if you disagree, and I'll think about it.

	texas am should be accepted.

	robbie_keane:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 05:14 GMT	1 point
	2006? Is that the last year that data was available? (the office).

	robbie_keane:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 05:16 GMT	1 point
	Also, could we do largest undergraduate enrollment? That seems to be more accurate and easier to guess (ex: NYU wouldn't be on there)

	jaymc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 05:58 GMT	1 point
	2006 is the most recent data I was able to find from a comprehensive, authoritative source. I found several news stories and press releases that were more recent, but none showed more than a top 10. Additionally, it should be noted that while the data is a couple of years old, the government report it appears in was published in March 2009. Unfortunately, figures for undergrads only are difficult to turn up; the only thing I found was a top 5 in a UCF admissions brochure.

	BamaGuy:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	2 points
	i think i would definitely accept "California" for Berkeley. I would also consider accepting "CS Fullerton" as well. same w/ CS Long Beach and CS Northridge.

	confused:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	2 points
	I don't think you'd have to accept UCLA for California. Berkeley is often called "Cal", UCLA is UCLA. Also, how about ASU for Arizona State? Nice quiz.

	tscheno2:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 22:33 GMT	1 point
	accepting OSU but not ASU doesn't make sense to me.

	NYCub:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 04:01 GMT	0 points
	Add MSU to the other abbreviations that need to be added.

	Goober:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	1 point
	Careful about accepting certain abbreviations. OSU could be Oklahoma State, Oregon State or Ohio State. MSU could be Michigan State or Mississippi State (and quite a few others). I do support Cal and/or California as an answer for UC Berkeley. Nice job, though!
