14 colleges and universities have 4,147 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 3,112 of those were running when we read it on October 8, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Program and start date enroll the student, and college ads that work treat the quad as scenery around that offer.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

Video ads lead among colleges and universities. Start there, and test the second format against it rather than spreading spend across every placement at once.
An offer, a launch or a limited drop gives the ad a job beyond awareness. 8 percent of the colleges ads here lead with a price in the ad.
Take the hook, the first frame and the offer structure from the ads that run longest, then make them yours. A copied ad looks like the original; a copied structure looks like a winner.
The median colleges ad here stayed up 47 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
