It’s an overall easy school, it almost seems like an advanced high school. The student to teacher ratio is relatively low and it’s easy to get ahold of your teachers. Some of the requirements for certain classes are very particular and specific which is a blessing and a curse. The area around is pretty cool, it works well as a college town which is what I appreciate about it. It’s easy to commute to is you’re not living on campus and it’s not too expensive! The academics are worth it and they have many courses to choose from. The campus is easy to find your way around and the atmosphere is easy going so if you are lost it’s easy to ask for help.

Perhaps one of my favorite things about Weber State is the Professors I have had the honor to be taught by. Most, if not all, of the ones I have had, are so passionate about what they are teaching that you cannot help but be sucked into the subjects!
Due to the fact that I am barely within my Sophmore year of College, and as such have not explored all the ins and outs of the campus, I do not truly have much to say towards what should change! Perhaps an increased amount of "no smoking" areas that explicitly say "no vaping" as well?
Overall, my entire experience with Weber State University has been exceptional. This university is allowing me to pursue my educational ambitions, with involved instructors that exhibit an emphasis on individual learning and an understanding of the concepts introduced. Weber State truly is great!
