I love it there! It is a very nice community that allows everyone to feel included. There are a lot of opportunities and ways to get involved in student life. It is an extremely safe school and there are amazing therapists/counselors on campus that are ready and willing to help.

Risa - 05/17/2020

I enjoyed Weber State University. Although there is not a lot going on for campus life, WSU is in an amazing location if you like the outdoors. WSU is next to amazing hiking trails, rock climbing, and water recreation areas. It even has a great Outdoor Program to get you suited to head outside.

Mikayla - 05/06/2020

The staff at Weber State University is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help no matter the department, your situation. I am an online student pursuing a degree in one of their online outreach program. After attending a university, going to lectures every day, and living on campus, I can say with confidence that Weber's staff is committed to helping you reach your goals. Being an online student comes with its own unique set of challenges, but I have never felt more at ease knowing that my professors and other staff at the university will be there to answer all my questions. A highly recommended university!

  7. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I knew more about what was required to get a bachelor's degree. Some of the credits I have may not transfer. Also, the program I'm in won't accept certain classes because they're not at a certain level (i.e. 300 level). I also wish I cleared up any outstanding issues. As a result, a miscommunication between myself and the program director, I ended up having to fly to Utah from Hawaii once a month instead of being able to move there.
