How Many Students?

I just ran across this infor­ma­tion and found it inter­est­ing: there are 6,636 col­leges in Amer­i­ca (2,543 are full four-year insti­tu­tions) [source].

Also, there are over 15.5 mil­lion col­lege stu­dents in Amer­i­ca [source]. To give that num­ber some per­spec­tive, con­sid­er that near­ly 75% of the nations in the world are small­er!

P.S. Hap­py St. Patrick­’s Day!
