3,140 full-time students in fall 2024 and college-controlled housing for 151: about 4.8 beds for every 100 full-time students. The other 2,989 live somewhere the college doesn't control. That is the outer edge of the private market, before you take out commuters and students living with family.
Enrollment
Of 3,680 students enrolled in fall 2024, 1,214 were undergraduates and 2,466 graduate students. 20% studied exclusively online, students who don't need a bed near campus. Headcount rose by 117 from fall 2023 (+3.3%).
Housing the college controls
IPEDS counts 151 beds of institutionally controlled housing for 2024-25. That figure is the school's own capacity, on or off campus, so it includes halls the college leases or manages but not private buildings that simply market to students. Capacity was the same in 2023-24.
What students pay
The typical 2024-25 housing charge for a student sharing a room was $6,660 for the academic year, roughly $740 a month spread over nine months.
Those are the college's own figures. Private by-the-bed rents near campus can sit well above or below them, so check current asking rents before you underwrite a project.
How lenders read a campus like this
At 3,680 students the campus is below the 10,000-student minimum in Fannie Mae's Multifamily Guide for Dedicated Student Housing (Part III, Chapter 1, section 103.01). Freddie Mac has no stated enrollment floor, but its own product summary says most of its student housing loans are at schools with 15,000 or more students. Banks, debt funds and conventional multifamily programs are the likelier lenders here.
To size a specific property, use the student housing loan sizer. It works by the bed and shows which constraint sets the loan.

IPEDS unit ID 207342. Oklahoma County. School website. Figures are as the institution reported them to the National Center for Education Statistics. The live-on question asks whether every first-time, full-time student must live in college housing; a school with exemptions or a later-year requirement can answer no. How this data is built.
