McGuire Location: Promontory Tower Telephone: 626-6828 There are four residence halls available to students desiring to live on campus. Living in the residence halls provides an excellent opportunity for students to live, work, and study together. Weber State 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. 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 full- time student Resident Assistants who 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 Promontory Tower and 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 Dining Services. All meals are served in the attractive Promontory Tower Dining Room. Wasatch Hall accommodates 218 students on three floors. Students in Wasatch Hall share a common lounge and recreation areas.

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 on a limited basis. Single rooms are assigned according to date of request and are slightly more expensive.
