Bethany - 11/11/2024

Weber State is a great university! The people and the environment are very lively and welcoming. There is always something going on and people who are involved, and it is very nice to see such involvement in societal, political, and economic issues within our community. If you want a university that is active, safe, and fun... Weber State is the place for you!

Marek - 11/11/2023

Weber State University offers in my opinion the best possible education in Utah for budget. The amount you pay at Weber is so much lower than any other school in Utah. Less stress about finances allows you to actually learn something from school. I highly recommend anybody and everybody who wants an affordable school that is still fantastic to check out Weber state.

Devin - 10/25/2023

It is a great place to go. It has amazing professors and an awesome environment. You always feel safe no matter where you are and it feels like you really matter as a student. Our football team is insane and always a blast to watch. Football might be my favorite sport to watch that we have. The basketball games are also so fun to go to. In case you are wondering Damien Lillard came from Weber State.

Laurel - 09/18/2021

Weber State University is affordable, culturally diverse, and full of opportunities. The teachers try their hardest to help students learn, and there are many resources available to help struggling students. There's plenty of quiet places to study, both indoors and outdoors. The food is...pretty good. It's got nothing on what my mom and dad can cook, but my mom and dad are both phenomenal cooks so I'm a little spoiled when it comes to food anyway. The Wildcat store has nearly everything you need, from school and office supplies to laptops and tablets to textbooks to hygiene products to organizational help, and even snacks to eat on the go. There's loads of clubs; if you have any interests at all, you're almost guaranteed to find a club that fills your niche. The performing arts department is phenomenal. They frequently host job fairs to help students find more ways to pay for tuition. They've got a plethora of student housing options. Every student has access to free healthcare, free public transportation, and so much more.

    It is a working student school. A lot of the students are non traditional...they have spouses and kids and work 40 hours per week in addition to attending school with full loads. I also attended the Univ. of Utah for 3 years and it was not student friendly at all. I am much happier at WSU.

  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.
