The Ogden campus has the Kenneth Burdett School for the Deaf and a School for the Blind, with about 50 students total.[2] The USBD main administrative offices are located at the Ogden campus.[3] This campus has dormitories,[4] that the school refers to as "the Cottages", which are used for graduated students who need help transitioning into a world designed for the hearing and seeing. Students can stay in them until they reach the age of 22.[citation needed] The USDB states they can house "A very limited number of students".[4] In the 1980s, Ogden used to host boarders of all ages at the deaf school, though some students stayed with host families.[5]
