Which medium-size college is majority undergrad?

[Anonymous]

My DD ideally wants to attend a medium-size college (5,000-10,000) undergrad students) and one that is not majority grad students. Which of the popular so-called "top 50" colleges are BOTH mid-size and undergrad majority (or at least 50/50 undergrad/grad)?

She doesn't want to attend a very small school or one that is only undergrads, so LACs are out.

The ones that the mix of majority undergrad (or at least 50/50) and 5K-10K undergrads are:
"Ivy plus": Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn
"New Ivies": Vanderbilt, Case Western, Notre Dame, Tufts, Rice
Other: BC, Lehigh, Villanova

Any others we're missing? She's looking at top 50-ish for her reach/targets.

What’s her reason for wanting some grad students around, but not too many?

Ivy League is a sports league. Only Ivy League members are "Ivies."

False. NU has 8-9k undergrads and 14k+ graduate students.

My child wanted something similar and is doing the joint degree program between William & Mary and St Andrews, which happens to be a good fit for their major. Interestingly, both schools are mid-sized with a dominant undergrad culture.

I think this is a very limiting parameter. You’re basically excluding every college that has a medical or law school. And those programs are always very separate from anyone’s undergrad experience.

Are online and part-time grad students counted in the totals?

I went to JHU and the only place I ever ran into a grad student was in a lab or as my TA. The majority were on other campuses:Medical campus, SAIS, Carey school of business, satellite campuses, online etc.

On the Homewood Campus, there are 5000 undergrads and 2000 grad students.

So you need to look at the breakdown of the numbers as many of these schools have huge grad programs at satellite locations or online that have no bearing on the undergrad experience.
