A relatively low percentage of Tennessee's population goes to these schools, with just about 5.2%, the fourth lowest of any US state. The largest college is the University of Tennessee which has over 37,000 students. Two other especially large colleges, with more than 20,000 students, are Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Memphis.
There are three other colleges in Tennessee with more than 10,000 students. These are: East Tennessee State University, Southwest Tennessee Community College, and Vanderbilt University. As of 2005 there were 13 community colleges in Tennessee. There were also more than 20 schools with under 100 students. Many of these are personal care oriented schools which typically have smaller levels of enrollment.
Tennessee has more than a dozen colleges with a religious affiliation. The four biggest ones are: Southern Adventist University, Trevecca Nazarene University, Christian Brothers University, and Bethel College. Each of these has more than a thousand students.
