How many undergrads actually attend UMass Dartmouth?

I’m looking at some different colleges in Massachusetts, and UMass Dartmouth is on my list, but I haven’t seen a clear answer about how many students go there. I’ve seen different numbers on different sites and it’s kind of confusing.

Does anybody know the current undergrad enrollment? And if anyone at UMass Dartmouth or who visited recently could share what the campus feels like—does it seem big, small, or average for a state school? I’m coming from a pretty small high school and just trying to picture myself on campus.

UMass Dartmouth's most recent enrollment data shows that there are approximately 6,200 undergraduate students on campus. This number can shift slightly from year to year, but that's a pretty reliable estimate for what you'll find during a typical academic year.

The campus itself feels medium-sized—definitely not overwhelming like a major university with 20,000+ students, but much bigger than a small liberal arts college or a high school environment. You’ll see familiar faces as you walk to class, but there’s also enough variety that you’ll keep meeting new people throughout your time there.

For comparison, you might find the social scene is a nice balance: big enough so you can branch out and find new friend groups or join specialized clubs, but small enough where you won’t feel lost in the crowd.

Coming from a small high school, the campus may feel lively but not too crowded. It’s pretty walkable, and many first-year students live in the residence halls, which makes it easy to connect and form a community. For example, when I toured the campus, I noticed most people hanging out in the main campus center between classes, and even as a visitor, I saw students greeting friends by name pretty often.

Let me know if you want more details about the campus vibe, student activities, or anything else related to UMass Dartmouth!
