This dimension groups educational institutions by their enrollment size, from small schools to large universities. Wikipedia notes that educational institutions "provide a large variety of learning environments and learning spaces," environments that scale very differently depending on how many students they actually enroll. Browsing by enrollment size keeps institutions of a comparable scale together.
