Admissions

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.

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.

Just because Weber State is cheaper than other universities in the surrounding area, I highly recommend putting the time to study for each class and set time aside to be able to complete the homework assignments. All of the professors I have had there so far have been excellent and have helped me learn so much more about the subjects they taught. Quite basically, anyone can get what they need from each course if they just work for it. Just as a tip for those who are considering Weber State, I recommend taking some general classes to ease into life at Weber State.

Look for opportunities to get involved! This is a great way to meet people and to enrich your experience at Weber State. Find something you are interested in and go for it!

Be prepared and willing to work hard and you'll do great! I love WSU!

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.

Join a club or organization as a way to feel more involved and to get to know more peers. Use the student services that are available - and know what is available! There are peer mentoring programs, stress centers, we have a gym, places where you can print for free! There are many resources, use them.

Take AP and CE credit classes! Not only do they save you time and money but they also prepare you well for your college courses. I worried that I wouldn't be ready for the rigor of my college courses, but I feel that my previous AP and CE courses have prepared me really well.
