The commons also houses a library, tutoring area and four study rooms. have been two other facilities in Layton, and finally, the WSU-Davis Campus. The purpose of the Davis Campus is "to help meet the academic needs of students in Davis County," Hurst said. "Davis County didn't have an institute of higher education and the residents were interested, so rather than having a competing school, Weber State offered classes in that area." Most of the classes offered at the WSU-Davis Campus are lower-division, but many upper-division courses are offered from certain departments. These include criminal justice, health administration, computer science and business administration. Last spring, there were 208 classes taught by more than 100 faculty members. This fall, nursing classes have been added to the WSU-Davis Campus schedule. "If someone working on their generals wanted to have their whole class schedule at Davis, they could," Brown said of the variety of general courses offered at the WSU-Davis Campus. "Students can complete an associate's degree from beginning to end entirely on this campus," Hurst said. Also, the Information Systems & Technology department is located at the WSU-Davis Campus and students can complete a master's of business administration degree there. Further plans for the WSU-Davis Campus include a final facility of at least 10 buildings, which will include a library and student union building. Right now, the facility accommodates about 3,500 students, the same number of students the Ogden campus "What we try to do is to have the students feel valued. We try to be friendly and efficient, so they don't have to do a lot of running around." Judy Hurst, associate dean of students accommodated in its beginning. When the WSU-Davis Campus is completely finished, it is expected that 10,000 to 12,000 students will be able to attend classes. Overall, the WSU-Davis Campus seeks to provide convenience and positive learning opportunities to students in the Davis County area. "What we try to do is to have the students feel valued," Hurst said. "We try to be friendly and efficient, so they don't have to do a lot of running around."

"Aldus is a pricier plan ... why would someone buy this?" Sweat said. One, the prescription plan is still a flat co-pay. Two, they will accept almost anyone regardless of past health history. Morrill said she went to Medicaid and was told she wouldn't qualify unless she was pregnant or disabled. "There is nothing for students, nothing fits them," Morrill said. Sweat suggests students who are turned down by any provider contact Health Insurance Pool or HIPUtah. The Utah Legislature passed the Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool Act in 1990 to provide insurance to Utah residents who are otherwise uninsurable or unable to obtain insurance elsewhere. "You only qualify if you have a condition that another health insurance company has denied coverage for," . said Susan Peck, HIPUtah insurance ' specialist. According to Peck, only people who are too healthy can be turned down by HIPUtah. "Be very wary of letting yourself go without health insurance," Sweat warns. If coverage lapses for more than two months, the insured runs the risk of having a "preexisting condition," in which case the company may not cover the problem.
