Housing. Nearly 800 students live on WSU's safe and beautiful Ogden campus, where they get a great view and easy access to classes, resources and recreation. As we often say, WSU is "far enough away to be independent and close enough to do your laundry." Housing Services is proud to offer students a new apartment complex and a traditional residence hall building to live in. Each building will offer students a unique living experience with wireless internet access throughout all campus facilities.
