Disputed because another article calls Montclair State "the second largest university in New Jersey."

This article says that Rutgers University and Thomas Edison State University are both bigger than Montclair State University, which would make it the third largest in the state.

I noticed that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montclair_State_University said "the second largest university in New Jersey."

So one of the articles must be wrong. I have temporarily changed the other article to say "second [or third]" until we can figure out which article was right.

https://collegestats.org/colleges/new-jersey/largest/ says Montclair State University is larger than Thomas Edison State University and is the second largest university in NJ (after Rutgers), but the third largest college or university, after Rutgers University and Bergen Community College (which is not a university). However, I am not sure whether that article is up to date or considered a reliable source. The numbers there are different from those in this article, but that may be due to differing standards of whether to include only on-campus students or also students who take classes remotely (online, by mail, etc.), especially because I heard once that many Thomas Edison students were in prison (that was about 30 years ago, and I don't know if it was true even then).

Please determine whether Montclair State University is the second or third largest and then update either the Montclair State University article or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_New_Jersey
