in my rural area with one university, SA search 18-26 shows 270 hits right now. Most all are students other than a few. The university has about 21000 coeds. So an adjusted number of SBs of 250/21000=1.2 percent. What's you guys thoughts? Obviously, small liberal arts religious schools have next to zero SBs. The big schools have more. I bet one percent is about right? How does your area schools look?

There are many SBs who say they are students, but are not.  They may be pros, students on hiatus, etc.  

I haven't done any research on this, but I get the impression that the share of co-eds who are currently or have been SBs could be in the ballpark of 5%.  

I think NYU has the largest number of SBs at one institution.  I don't recall the exact number, but I'm pretty sure it's well into triple digits.

I find it funny how many are 25 yo plus and are taking GE classes at a community college. When are they planning on graduating? Age 40?

My nearest university has 15,300 female students. SBs in the 18-26 range in this city number 571. which equals 3.73%. That seems high to me since I know for a fact that many girls in this age range are not in college.

Hmmm. Did you check the "college" box on the search function on SA when you got 571 hits?

As noted, many SBs put "student" in their profile when they are not currently students, for various reasons.  I wouldn't be surprised if it's grossly overstated.  Also, it should be noted that D.C. is a very atypical area in many regards, one of them being that is is the largest relative net "importer" of college students.  Given that background, a whopping 44% of all SBs in D.C. list the word "student" somewhere in their profile, including as their occupation.  The absolute number was just under 1,800.  

Looking at enrollment stats, Georgetown = 18,000; GW = 26,000; American University = 10,000; Howard = 10,000; UDC = 6,000; Catholic = 7,000.  Ignoring a handful of smaller institutions, that totals to about 77,000.  Of course, not all the students live in the District, but I'll assume so for simplicity.  Assuming that half the students are male (probably closer to 45% in reality), that means there are 1,800 SBs out of about 38,000 students, or something like 4.5%.  

I'm sure that there is a huge variation by school and area, but something in the large ballpark of 1-5% seems reasonable to me.

From an article in The Atlantic, these are the schools with the most SBs on SA.  (Keep in mind that there are lots of SBs on other sites or not on websites.)

Using half the overall enrollment as the base, these are approximate percentages:  

Georgia State 816 (5.1%)

Central Florida 835 (2.8%)

Kent State (??) 845 (4.1%)

Arizona State 923 (2.6%)

NYU 1,057  (4.2%)

Keep in mind that these schools have the most SBs, not necessarily the highest percentage of SBs in the student body.

Not surprising that NYU has the most SB's -- it's the 3rd most expensive university in the country, and located in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Yep on both accounts, plus there are hookups galore in NYC.  It's hard not to get laid there.
