Living in the residence halls provides an excellent opportunity for students to live, work, and study together. The College is committed to the total development of students: intellectual, personal, physical, and spiritual. Within this context, it is the College's philosophy that the residence halls be a "living-learning" environment, one where residents have an opportunity to interact with students from different parts of the country and the world, develop interpersonal relationships, and learn about themselves as human beings. Research has demonstrated that students living on campus generally receive a more well-rounded educational experience than those who commute. The residence halls are staffed by full-time, live-in Residence Hall Directors who are responsible for the administration of the buildings. They are assisted by Resident Assistants who are full- time students that have been selected and trained to assist residents in the development of floor atmospheres which are conducive to learning, personal growth, and enjoyment Traditional Residence Hall Living North Wasatch Hall, Promontory Tower, and South Wasatch Hall are traditional residence halls providing room, board, and recreational facilities. Students living in these facilities are required to purchase any one of several meal plans offered by the Food Service Department. All meals are served in the attractive Promontory Tower Dining Room. North Wasatch Hall accommodates 111 men on three floors, while South Wasatch Hall houses 111 women, also on three floors. Students in both buildings share common lounge and recreation facilities. Promontory Tower accommodates 252 male and female students on separate floors (7). Each room in these residence halls is shared by two students and is furnished with beds, drapes, lamps, study desks, chairs, chest of drawers, and closets. All residence hall rooms are carpeted. All other furnishings must be provided by the residents. Single rooms are also available if the buildings are not completely full.

Each apartment is shared by six students and includes a kitchen with refrigerator, electric range, cupboards, table and chairs; bathrooms; a pantry; and three bedrooms furnished with beds, desks, bureaus, and drapes.

Residents are responsible for the cleaning of their own bedrooms and share responsibility for cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and hallway. College cleanliness standards are strictly enforced. Although some residents of Stansbury and LaSal Halls cook all their meals, the College has experienced that many students purchase a limited meal plan and supplement the meals not provided under this plan with their own cooking Living/Learning Environments Each residence hall at Weber State College also has a comfortable lounge, as well as recreation, laundry, television, and study rooms. A Universal gym, sauna, and gamesroom are available for use by all resident students. A wide variety of social, cultural, and educational programs are initiated in the residence halls by both staff and residence hall governments.
