Weber is by far the best University in Utah when it comes to value. They have the highest accreditation possible, yet charge half the price. Why? Because they believe in education not price gouging students. The University is actively engaged in the community and actively seeks ways to improve the experience for students.

2nd year there, it's been a great experience so far. professors have been wonderful, the classes meaningful. I enjoy the opportunities they and clubs on campus provide to socialize and meet new people. For the price, it's an incredible deal.

Great school all around. All of the instructors I have had (save one, but he retired) were accessible, caring, and passionate. I am a single father attending full time, so I don't participate in much of campus life, but it seems to be really lively and inclusive. Facilities are very conducive to productivity and all feel very open and relaxing.

The new traffic pattern was awful, the opportunities offered at WSU were limited, and whenever I wanted to have access to their Wifi access, the signal strength was spotty. The classroom setting was confusing as to have access between faculty and classmates, their technology presentation keep breaking down. It's been frustrating lately.

I only attended Weber for one year, and I did not have a good experience here. I had many people who worked at the school who were rude to me, when they should have been helping me. I also had issues where no one would answer and didn't now the answers to any of my questions. My time here was frustrating and not good. I would not recommend.

Nobody at this school knows what they are doing. I have been sent in circles looking for answers to a simple question regarding the transfer of a course from USU. They do not update information and are incredibly strict with bookstore rentals and do not allow any leeway. Among some decent professors are uneducated and unqualified teachers.
