Advantages of Weber College Location of Weber College affords social and economic advantages. The high schools of the district which Weber College serves: namely, Box Elder, Davis, Morgan, and Weber Counties graduate approximately 1,350 students annually, all of whom could live at home and attend Weber College. The greatest advantage from living at home comes through parental encouragement and supervision during the late adolescent period. A minor, yet very important advantage, is the economic one. By attending college at home the first two years, students can save almost sufficient money to maintain themselves the latter two years away from home at the universities.
