Colleges offering the widest variety of student clubs and activities.

How we ranked these schools

Schools are scored on enrollment size (more students typically means more clubs), along with honors college, Greek life, performing arts, and study abroad availability as indicators of a rich extracurricular ecosystem. Only schools with enrollment above 8,000 are included. Data sourced from the National Center for Education Statistics (the federal government's education data authority), Princeton Review, Niche, and My School List's own school database. All figures reflect the most recently available data and are updated periodically. Rankings are for informational purposes only.
