The question of size frequently arises.  To the best of our 
knowledge, the Columbus campus of Ohio State is the largest 
single campus in the United States.  Ohio State is not the 
largest university -- several others (including City 
University of New York and Miami-Dade Community College) 
which have multiple locations in one city are larger.  So 
are others which have multiple locations within a state, 
such as the University of California and the State 
University of New York.  The list above includes some of the 
largest universities which are comparable to Ohio State in 
curricula, mission and organization.
