BA in Behavioral Science - Batch of 2026
3.7
San Jose State University is quite expensive as compared to other colleges.
Tips: I have had a pretty decent experience at this school. However, I should also add that it's more expensive than many other schools where some of my friends attend. But this is mainly because of unavoidable factors such as lack of time and groceries, which have risen in cost. A meal plan can help save you time and increase convenience if you have a tight schedule like mine. The city is beautiful, and once you come here, you will have a hard time leaving. Since I am still studying here, I cannot say much about the job prospects, but so far, the situation does not look promising.

BA in English - Batch of 2025
4.1
Truly a memorable experience to reminisce.
Tips: The campus initially came off as rather laid-back and calm but as the semester progressed, the intensity and workload also increased. The popular courses here are primarily in STEM and the faculty is also well-reputed. You will have to undergo relatively grading in your classes which can often be make or break.

Good faculty and a vibrant student life.
Tips: Studying here has increased my self-awareness and given me more direction than I had expected. The people are warm, and the university is smaller than most, which also means more undivided attention. Part-time jobs are not available, and you will have a hard time finding an affordable place to rent as well.

BA in Art- Concentration in Studio Practice - Batch of 2027
4.5
Great faculty and a welcoming environment.
Tips: It's a really good college, but you need to research thoroughly and in a revised manner so that when you come, you know where to go and where not to. It's for your benefit, so you don't end up regretting your decision later on. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it were any other college.
Likes (Safety): No matter the time, I always felt safe with Uber and other rides. I always got home safely, and it didn't matter if I was late or anything. I always knew in the back of my mind that nothing was going to happen, as the crime rate is also low.
Dislikes (Part time work): One major drawback of part-time jobs can be the workload and the amount of time spent there. There were times when I didn't have enough time to work on my projects because I was always busy with part-time work, but it's fine because I used to get good pay.

The university campus is vibrant and diverse.
Tips: My best decision was coming to study here. I have enjoyed every minute I spent at SJSU, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the city as well. San Jose is a beautiful city, and I'm really glad I got to study here. I really recommend that anyone planning to study here do some travelling in the surrounding area. I should've applied for the scholarship. I think I'd have had a pretty good shot at getting one. But the scholarships probably didn't have much impact on what I was learning, so I don't think missing out on them affected my studies too much. All in all, San Jose State University is a good place to study.

Pretty enriching and rewarding experience.
Tips: Studying here will open your eyes and make you grow more than you'd imagine. If you are passionate about your major, you are sure to have a good time. A lot of classes offer extra credit and participation points, so try to be as involved as you can. Aside from academics, there are numerous events, clubs and activities which you should take advantage of.
