Weber State University

If you're an incoming freshman to Weber State or a transfer student, there's a little like two, three day program called Experience Weber, where right before the semester starts, you go on like this trip, I think we went to like a lake somewhere. But yeah, you just go with a bunch of also incoming freshmen and transfer students. So you're all experiencing Weber for the first time and you just go do fun activities. We had like canoeing and paddleboarding. There was like a giant blow up water slide, stuff like that. And it's basically like camping, but it's really fun. I did it and I would recommend it.

Weber State has a ton of outdoor activities because it happens to be situated right on the side of a mountain. So there's tons of hiking trails, mountain biking trails. Right by there's a place called Buse Pond that's beautiful just a block or two away from campus. On campus there's the Lindquist Plaza that has a beautiful pond full of ducks and waterfall and fountain. It's just gorgeous. There's always sports, lots of intramural and other activities that are going on on campus. The gym has a great wilderness rec center that they do excursions and outings that you can participate in and they also have equipment that you can rent. There's tubing and kayaking on the Ogden River nearby. There's Piney View Reservoir that's about 30 minutes away up the valley up Ogden Canyon. There's rock climbing. There's lots of things to do all around Weber State. Ogden is a great, oh and skiing in the winter. If you're into that skiing and snowboarding close by too.

There's a rock climbing wall in the gym and there's rock climbing classes that you can take and you can rent shoes. I can't remember exactly how that works and a harness and all that but there's at least two rock climbing classes. There might be three now and there's an indoor rock climbing class, an outdoor rock climbing class. The Crag is a place in Ogden to go rock climbing and it's a really great resource. So the rock climbing 2 class is the outdoor rock climbing class. I loved it.
