    Great for these types of students

    All types! I've met kids from freshman orientation who are sporty, scientific, mathematical, and musical. It's fit for all types of students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go visit the campus! Your deciding moment will be to walk on that campus. Then sign up for Freshman Orientation, they will then tell you all you need to know and get you signed up for classes right then and there and tell you how to do it in the future.
    Bang for the buck

    Might I say, that you are going to get the best teaching out of this school. They have fantastic professors who (at Freshman Orientation) give you their phone numbers and e-mails so that you can talk with them and settle any problems you may be having.
    Will enjoy being here

    They have two different kinds of housing for different kinds of people. What ever your needs are, they have the housing for it and they have payment plans. If you have any questions, the housing staff are always ready to answer your questions.
    Will learn a lot

    The teachers and ambassadors know what they are talking about. I've never been in a place where everyone knows everything about how to survive. No one has been left in the dark.

    Great for these types of students

    Weber is great for all sorts of people. I've seen high school kids and 60+ year olds in my classes. The majority of people on campus are commuters, but they do have on-campus housing options. Weber is great for those who want to learn but don't have a lot to spend. It is definitely not a party school, though; no drugs and alcohol allowed on campus, and you will actually learn something.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. It's the only way to have fun. They have a club for EVERYTHING. From ballroom to anime to martial arts and beyond, there's nothing that can't entertain you on campus. Also, get to know your professors. I recommend dropping by their offices in the first three weeks of class, at least those you plan to work hard for. They're bored during that time anyways, and it'll make you stand out to go say hello and try to get a feel for their class.
    Bang for the buck

    Weber is amazing at the price. Being a public school, tuition is only about $5,000 a year. For that, you get classes, access to the three-story library and computer terminals all over campus, a free UTA bus pass good for bus, Frontrunner, TRAX, and anything else UTA, access to the school shuttle, and all of the rockin' activities the school offers. I don't know how they do so much on such funds, but Weber definitely packs a powerful bang for your buck.
    Am enjoying being here

    They have a TON of on campus activities, including dances, parties, a bowling alley, pool hall, movie theater, plays, bands, and countless other performances. Not only that, but the people are really nice. They're quiet at the beginning of the semester, focusing on their studies. But once everyone gets into the swing of things, you can constantly find people scattered around campus just relaxing and chatting.
    Am learning a lot

    Unlike a lot of the big name universities, the teachers are actually here, teaching the courses--not some student teacher. They care about their subjects with a passion, which is why they do it. That passion transfers to the students. I never dreamed I would learn as much as I have at Weber, and I am forever indebted to the teachers here.

    I looked over the in-state and out-of-state tuition for Weber I added the totals up for 1 year and then multiplied it by 4 to see what my total cost would be and it was cheaper than the others schools i was loking at. (when adding up the tuition cost i used the highest amount that they say might be charged)
    Will enjoy being here

    I know I will enjoy being at Weber because I have been to the campus several times before, and the campus is beautiful.
    Will learn a lot

    I am hoping I will learn a lot at Weber because when I went on ratemyprofessors.com I read excellent reviews on my possible professors for my major!

    Weber State is one of the most inexpensive schools both in Utah and nationwide, but the quality of living is still very great.
    What to do for fun

    There are always games, dances, and activities that are posted all over the campus that any student can attend.
    Food and Dining

    I don't have a meal plan through Weber State University.
    Dorm Life

    I didn't live on campus, but all of my friends that did really loved it. Weber State just installed a new dorm building so the quality is very nice.
    Academic Rigor

    In my experience, all of my teachers hold a very high standard to each of their students. Most teachers require at least a 93% for an A with a majority of the grade being based on tests alone.
    Tips for prospective students

    For anyone that is looking at becoming a student at Weber State University, I highly recommend it. The class sizes and cost make the college a great choice.
    In three sentences

    Weber State is a decent school with great class sizes and likable teachers. In my experience, the teachers are personable enough to work with students and the small class sizes make that possible. Although the school is inexpensive, I wouldn't rate my education as cheap because the quality of my learning experience has been above average.

    Great for these types of students

    There are many international/foreign exchange students who attend Weber State, and diversity is one of the most upheld values. Needless to say, it's a wide spectrum of Great for these types of students. But if you are looking for a fine mix between tight-knit classes and a medium-sized campus with something for everybody, then Weber State is for you. It's very inexpensive in comparison to other universities, so a tight-budget student will excel here. But Weber State is mainly known for two departments - nursing and drama. Nursing is the most popular degree on campus, and Weber State's drama department is award-winning. Prospective nurses, medical students and those interested in theater would do well at Weber State.
    Tips for prospective students

    1) Talk to people! I can't stress how much easier and better a class is when you have a friend with you the entire semester through. This isn't high school - you'll be going to class with people of all ages. Everybody is a lot nicer. 2) Get involved in at least one organization. You won't regret it. I joined the Chinese Club and I'm not even Chinese, and nonetheless I've had a great time and learned quite a bit about the culture. 3) Keep a planner. Weber State issues you one during orientation, and organization is a vital key to earning good grades. 4) Keep up in class! The professors rarely accept late work, and expect a lot more out of you than the high school teachers did. 5) Don't sweat it and be persistent. The first day of college can be scary, and getting a bad grade on an exam can be especially discouraging. My English professor once told me that 2/3rds of students don't go on to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree. Do you have what it takes to be in the 1/3rd that do? You hold the ball.
    Bang for the buck

    Full-time tuition at Weber State is more-or-less $1,900 a semester. The inexpensiveness of Weber State had a big part in my decision to enroll. It's well worth the money. I would've spent a lot more on my Associate's Degree had I gone somewhere else.
    Am enjoying being here

    There seems to be a few activities going on every week. Weber State invests a lot of money in extracurricular endeavors, such as sports, clubs and parties. Football games are well advertised and well attended, and Weber State encourages school pride, as well as their school color (purple). You will have a lot of fun here if you are active and outgoing. There is a pool hall and a bowling ally, and my favorite feature is the massive gym with more equipment than I know what to do with. Weber State also has great physical fitness programs you can take part of, and a big climbing wall located inside the gym. Weber State also rents out student-discount sporting equipment of all kinds, including kayaks, mountain bikes and snowboards. You can also buy discount lift tickets to the local ski resorts. I have taken classes from some of the funniest but most intelligent professors. There are some hilarious students who attend Weber State as well. The drama and music department are very busy all year round performing on and off campus. All and all, Weber State invests a lot of money on making your experience as enjoyable as possible, and I've already had a lot more fun than I initially thought.
    Am learning a lot

    Weber State is a prime example of the phrase You get out of it what you put into it. How much you learn depends on how hard you are willing to work and study while attending Weber State. There are certain classes that I've passed without studying much at all, and didn't learn anything due to the easiness of the class. I've learned much more from other classes that took up nearly of all of my concentration to scrape by with a decent grade. But all and all, you can learn as much as you please, but a lot of it depends on how hard you are willing to work rather than which professors you choose. Weber State has a large library that rents out DVDs and videos to take advantage of. Most of the professors want you to pass the class and succeed, but cannot make you learn a lot if you're not willing to study. I feel that I've learned more in a single year at Weber State than I did in all of high school put together.

    Weber is probably the most affordable school around. It lets basically everyone in and gives thousands of scholarships out every year! They also work with you and let you know what's out there. There are ways to get a percentage off of tuition as well! Clubs, index scores, GPA, and more will help pay for your tuition!
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the way the school is set up and the whole environment. It's a beautiful campus and I love going to Weber. I currently live at home and I was given a free bus pass from Weber so I ride the buses for free to and from Weber. They also have a front runner that can take students from other cities to Ogden and they have a bus that will run them straight up to Weber State University. It's just a very convenient school for everyone.
    Am learning a lot

    I love the teachers here! They really try and reach out to the students and help them with what they need and beyond. By them caring and helping me out with problems or questions I have, I have learned a lot more than I expected I would. It's easy to email the teacher as all of your teachers emails are given to you. It's easy to know what assignments are due because the teachers are very clear and they give you an organized syllabus.

    It's a great school for anyone and everyone. There are many different classes and clubs, you can even make your own clubs. There are lots of things you can do.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit campus and find where your classes will be before the semester starts so you don't get lost your first week. Also, finding parking during the semester is very difficult and you need a parking permit. You can get a free UTA Bus Pass with your Wildcard and I found taking the bus to be much more convenient than driving. Also, there are lots of hills and stairs, so be prepared for that.
    Bang for the buck

    When you get accepted to Weber, they automatically sign you up for any academic scholarships you qualify for. I got a scholarship that paid for half of my tuition. I also filled out FAFSA and got a pell grant that paid for the other half of tuition.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy my classes and the people in them. I also enjoy walking around the campus on nice days and sometimes feed the ducks at the pond. When I first started school here, I knew very few people here, but now I've made friends and see more people I know.
    Am learning a lot

    I really learn a lot in my classes. The teachers teach at a rate that everyone can keep up with, and they teach the material in a way that is easy to understand. If anyone has questions, they can feel free to ask the teachers.

    I feel like the student fees and tuition seem to go a long way. Each student gets an Ed pass with their enrollment. This pass allows them to travel on the public transportation system (UTA) for free. I have used that a ton. The computer labs at the school are very up to date and are very convenient. There are quite a few activities that go on at the school that are free because of student fees. The buildings that the classrooms are in are really nice and well kept. The campus is beautiful. The education itself is really great! I have learned a lot here. I would say that you do get a bang for your buck.

    The campus is fantastic! It really is a beautiful place with a lot of cool things to do and see. There is something for everyone! Weber has teams and clubs for all interests. It also has a lot of cool classes. Last semester, I took a jogging class and a rock climbing class. I had a blast, learned a lot, and made a lot of new friends!

    I absolutely love my classes at Weber State. I have learned so much in the three semesters that I have been here. The class sizes are perfect!

It is definitely a great learning environment.

    Campus Safety

    Emergency buttons are always present next to the buildings, and the lighting is good when you have classes early in the morning, and at night as well.
    What to do for fun

    I recommend sporting events (especially Basketball and Football), which are free if you are a student, with a good time had by all. If you are into the arts, then I suggest attending the theatrical performances put on by the students: they work very hard and do a good job.
    Food and Dining

    Friendly employees make sure the food is served quickly, and I have nearly always been satisfied when I have ate here.
    Dorm Life

    While I do not live in the dorms, I have talked with individuals who do. They appear to enjoy themselves, and are greatly for the opportunities Weber State has to offer.
    Academic Rigor

    A lot of studying will need to be done to do well on tests (up to 10 or more hours). If you struggle in a particular subject, I strongly recommend outside help, or you will fall behind quickly.
    Tips for prospective students

    Arrive to class early: students are usually there 15 minutes before the start of class.
    In three sentences

    This is an excellent school: the teachers are willing to meet with you outside of class time to answer any questions you have related to their subjects. Students are willing to help one another out, which makes class time more pleasant. Everyone on campus is willing to help you if you are lost, which reduces any freshman's worries significantly.

    I live off campus, however would be nice to live in a dorm. All the exciting places people and college life is awesome. I have 2 kids and live in low income. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love my baby's and enjoy being a mom. I am a little jealous tho, because they were smart enough not to have children.

    I enjoy computers and am facinated how they work and am amazed by the programs available. My academic Rigor is to suceed in what I do. I am goal oriented and will strive hard to accomplish my goals. I was on the honor roll as a middle schooler, made my mother very proud.

I figured if I had all my verifications,forms, applications, and deadlines met, it would be smooth sailing Boy! was I wrong. I am currently going to class with no books because I cant afford them. My financial aid will not be released for two weeks and I am sad. I will only get back around 300 dollars and my books cost a total of 268.

    WeberState University seems like an okay school, for it was my third day yesterday. It has a long uphill incline which makes me sweat like crazy because its on the side of the mountain. I can not park like the cool students in front, the simple reason being, I cannot afford the sixty dollar parking pass. This is my freshman year and seems very exciting. I feel very accomplished in all the things I had to do to get here. I rate it an eight of a ten scale.The school mascot is a wildcat and the colors are purple and white. I have seen a diversity in students and seems like my style. I wasn't aware and am very astonished in how much books and tuition cost. As a single mother of two this is going to be very interesting, but I have the desire to complete!

    I feel like the tuition is a good price, especially for being an undergrad. A lot of people want to go to bigger and better schools, but there really is no reason to at first. Weber offers just as good of classes as the U does. It's just personal preference if you want to pay more or not.

    They have a new thing called the purple code which will send a text message and email right to your phone if there is any kind of emergency on campus.

    Great! Weber is well lit and well patrolled by campus security. They also have little emergency posts (not sure what the actual name for these are), all over campus on the off chance that something happens when you walk alone. You hit a button and it immediately calls the authority's.
    Great for these types of students

    Self motivated and hard working. I would also recommend it for student athletes. Weber State is committed to getting you a degree first and foremost, and then to helping you with your sport. They really have a lot of programs in place to help you get to where you need to be and get your schoolwork done.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Two words: stairs and hills. You will get some exercise when walking around campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Regardless of whether you're an out-of-state student or an in-state student, Weber is cheap!
    What to do for fun

    Weber is quite literally right up against the mountain so there are lots of trails and hiking paths. It also has skiing/snowboarding activities nearby as well. Shopping is pretty decent and Ogden isn't too far from Salt Lake City which is where most concerts and such are held. Weber usually has things going on during campus as well though.
    Food and Dining

    Food is great on campus but I must admit I was a little disappointed with the food selection/options for the dorm. Breakfast isn't served and neither is lunch on the weekdays. (Weekends is a brunch from 11-2 I believe.) Also healthy options are fairly non-existent in the cafeteria. Where are the fruits and veggies? Where are the drink options other than soda and water?

    I live in the newest dorm built that was just finished this summer. Weber is also in the process of building it's last new dorm currently and all on campus housing has been built/renovated in the last ten years. The rooms are pretty big and I was impressed with Weber's green initiative.
    Academic Rigor

    Depends on the classes. My Nutrition class can be difficult on some days and there's a lot of extra studying in order to pass the tests, but I feel challenged without feeling like I'm drowning in schoolwork I don't understand. Be wary of the math however, because it can be a pain if you have to start at the bottom and work your way up.
    Tips for prospective students

    Expect to get some exercise walking around the campus - Weber is very hilly and if you are a commuter student parking is a pain. If however, you live in the dorms, it's not bad at all. Also, make sure your math ACT is where it should be (I believe a 21 or 22) or do good on the accuplacer if you have to take it. Weber doesn't kid around with it's math if you have to start at the bottom (950) and make your way up.
    In three sentences

    Weber State is really affordable, especially if you can get in-state tuition like I did. Even though I'm technically an out of state student, I was able to get the Weber Edge Scholarship which pays for the out-of-state portion of tuition (which also isn't bad), and now I have in-state tuition! I love it here and would recommend their hybrid classes, which allow you to get the same credit in half the time - my hybrid classes ends October 17 and I still get 3 credit hours!

    Tips for prospective students

    Figure out where your classes are before the first day. Explore the campus - find the study spots (The third floor of Elizabeth Hall is wonderful). Take a fun class every semester whether its bowling, tap dancing, or art history. Having a class you are interested in keeps you motivated through the semester.
    Bang for the buck

    The quality of education that I have here at Weber State is so much higher than my friends who attend other nearby colleges. The perks of being a student here are amazing. Bus passes, computer and software discounts, no matter what it is- its better at Weber!

    Be sure to take a walk around campus before any classes start! It is a big campus! Also, be sure to check with your advisor(s) to see if your credits will transfer. Depending on your current school, Weber might accept most to all of them. Again, that depends upon the school you are currently attending.

    This is an absolutely beautiful school! Not only is it located at the foot of the mountains, but they also have a fairly large campus that offers many opportunites to all the students there.

    Campus Safety

    The campus is very very safe. It is patrolled often by police and cops. Around the campus are emergency phones just in case something happens. Weber has a program going called Code Purple, which alerts every student, teacher, worker of an emergency situation that would cause harm or anything of that nature.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is any and every kind of club that you could want here at Weber. If there isn't one that fits you, you can easily make one of your own with your friends.
    What to do for fun

    Like I have said before there is always something going on at the campus. If you aren't into what is going on at the campus there are plenty of things to do off campus and not far away. Behind Weber is many trails to go hiking, golf course, and parks. There is a lake nearby to go swimming, or boating. Also a few ski resorts to go skiing or snowboarding and during the summer you can go mountain biking. For the thrill seekers we have skydiving or indoor skydiving, indoor surfing, and rock climbing. So whatever you are into you can for sure find it.
    Food and Dining

    On campus they have a really good pizza place. Of campus they have everything that you would want, sushi, Greek, Indian, Italian, Chinese, and Thai.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorms, so my konwledge is a little ristiricted. However I will still suggest to you that you get attive in the activities around campus. Join a club, do something so that you can get to know people. Be interesting by being interested.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers want to prepare you in your field of study, therefore they are going to give you the practice that you need in order to thrive in the job place. It gets pretty difficult even when you study. So if you are coming from a high school, be prepared to study and not be able to go out every night to party. This is a good school because it challenges you.
    Tips for prospective students

    One tip I wish I had known before coming here is take chemistry somewhere else. I have to take 2 years of it for my major and frankly the chemistry teachers don't know how to teach. They know what they are teaching but as far as communicating it to you they are lacking. Another tip is take advantage of the free tutoring. It helped bump my grade up in one class from a B to an A.

    Campus Safety

    Code purple is Weber's emergency alert system. If there is a problem on campus code purple will send you a text, email and voice message to inform you of what is going on. Whether classes are being canceled or students are asked to remain indoors or avoid a certain area, students are quickly alerted to the emergency.
    Greek Life

    If you are looking for a sorority or frat house Weber is not the place for you. There are a few houses but they are very small compared to what you see normally.
    Clubs and Activities

    The first few weeks of school students are bombarded with club and activities tables set up all over campus. It is impossible not to get hooked into a group when there are so many choices and friendly people to meet.
    Great for these types of students

    Weber is great for students who have many different interests. Classes cover a wide variety of programs and topics. The undecided student should definitely give Weber a try so they can explore different career choices without wasting time and money.

    The schools bell tower stands tall over the campus. You can't help but notice it, especially at the turn of a new hour. It makes a great hang out spot and is so unique.

    I chose Weber because the cost of tuition was one of the lowest in the area and they offered me the most scholarship money. If you want a quality college for less money Weber is the best around.
    What to do for fun

    Weber always has activities going on for students. The parties are great and tastey food is always served. Weber is also nearby several of Ogden's hot spots like the mall, 25th street and the Junction/Solomon Center. Other surrounding Universities also host great parties and are always welcoming when Weber students feel like stopping by. It is an awesome way to make new friends.
    Food and Dining

    Weber has several food places on campus and a convenience store. They have really great fresh items to choose from so you are not stuck with ramen noodles all the time. The Lotza area is my favorite.
    Dorm Life

    Weber has housing at University Village. I do not personally live in the dorms but the little community always looks great and is a safe place for college students to stay. Several options are available for housing.
    Academic Rigor

    So far I have been doing general classes. Some have been great while others have been a bore fest. Most classes are lecture style with some quizzes and tests. I have really loved all my professors. They know what they are talking about and challenge students to do their best.

    What to do for fun

    There is a lot of fun things to do in Ogden. Hiking, skiing, shopping in SLC (about 30 minutes away). Not to mention all the different types of concerts.
    Food and Dining

    Not a lot of options on campus, but a lot of good food and variety in town.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorms and never have.
    Academic Rigor

    My program is difficult, demanding and also offers a lot of autonomy. I'm not sure about the other areas of study, but Nuclear Medicine requires a lot of time.
    Tips for prospective students

    My area of study offers a lot of autonomy, so it's a great fit for me. Sometimes it can be a challenge to get a hold of someone to speak with, most departments prefer e-mail, so be diligent if you want to talk to an actual person. Plan on a full 4 seasons, it gets cold in the winter with lots of snow.

    Beautiful campus with a lot of different choices for area of study. Friendly people, not too difficult of an admissions process.

    Food and Dining

    The food is decent and some of the local businesses sponsor the school and accept meal plans. I feel like some of the food on campus is over priced.

    I live off campus, from what I've heard the dorms are really nice and modern. But living on campus is really expensive. It's probably cheaper to live off campus.

The pace of life is slow, often the mall, some pools and local features are closed on Sundays, but this is a great place for studying and getting your education. You can find things to do, but it might not be like home.
