EST. 1889 *Weber has been inspiring minds since 1889. Chances are you'll find all kinds of inspiration at WSU ... student activities, outdoor pursuits, quiet nights at the library, loud parties with friends, living on campus or off, working full-time, part-time or not at all, meeting new people or staying close to old friends. You will discover people like you, and people the likes of whom you have never encountered. You will learn about new topics, yourself, your world, and you will gain knowledge to build a better, brighter future. You will do this in classrooms, in the field, PEOPLE, PLACES & COOL THINGS P. 4 | STATS P. 20 | MAJORS P. 24 | SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID P. 28 in relationships, through research and service. And when you arrive at commencement, you will smile, knowing that you are one of a kind, and you bleed purple. Get into Weber, and ask yourself,

Class of 2013 Reanna Castro Pursuing Hometown: Hagåtña, Guam, U.S. I recently had the experience of a lifetime. my passions. As part of WSU’s Study Abroad program, I went to China to work on wildlife conservation. My favorite part was working with red pandas … and seeing the Great Wall … and eating the food. Let’s just say every part was my favorite part! I came to WSU from Guam to get a degree in education. As much as I love animals, I love kids even more. I even got to work with schoolchildren in China. It was great. This has been the perfect year.

e g Campus Housing Attention Concurrent Seniors!!! New residence halls in 2012 & 2013!!

Weber State University has now made it easier for you to make the transition from a high school concurrent student to a fully admitted WSU student.

Answer the three questions in the shaded box pictured below: Wildcat Village

CAMPUS HOUSING Hassle-free living is the key with on-campus housing. Paying for utilities, phone, cable and Internet connection is easy because it’s included in your rent, which is as little as $475/month (rates vary with room type and meal plan). As far as roommates go, we match you up with others who have similar interests, and if they miss a payment, you don't have to cover it. weber Nearly 1,000 students live on campus in three housing areas at WSU Ogden: UNIVERSITY VILLAGE — An apartment-style complex with private bedrooms. Four students share a furnished apartment with a fully state equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room and two bathrooms. WILDCAT VILLAGE — New residence halls located university on the south side of campus. Four students share a suite — two students per bedroom with two half baths — with laundry and kitchen facilities on each floor. For more information on housing, visit weber.edu/housing. Concurrent (Rates are subject to change.) Wildcat Village Enrollment That’s it! You will still be able to register for Spring concurrent classes. Even if you aren’t sure if you are coming to WSU or not, make sure to submit these questions so you will be ready to go.
