Please remove this statement:

NYU has become the largest private university in the United States by enrollment, with a total of 51,848 enrolled students, including 26,733 undergraduate students and 25,115 graduate students in 2019.

and add this one in its place:

NYU has become one of the largest private universities in the United States by enrollment, with a total of 58,226 enrolled students in 2021.

Please also update the first source's access date to today, and remove the second source.

The first source shows some other private universities that are ahead of NYU: Western Governors (1 on the list), Southern New Hampshire (2), Grand Canyon (3), Liberty (4), and Phoenix (7) are larger than NYU (14). 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
