Advantages of Weber College The 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 1,450 students annually, all of whom can 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. The location of Weber College offers distinct advantages to the terminal and trade student. Ogden, a city of forty-five thousand people, with its businesses, its shops, and its industries provides outstanding work opportunities which enable students to pay their own way. Almost one-third of the student body has part-time employment. This advantage is especially significant for apprenticeship arrangements where both theory and practice are essential. Ogden is particularly attractive as a technical and trade-training center on account of the openings available to students who complete their training courses in the trades. The environmental features of Ogden City are favorable. The Wasatch Mountains rise to the east of Ogden; in the west, north, and south are fertile lands.
