 " San Jose State University has been a great place for my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. I feel comfortable and part of the community. The staff, faculty and advisors are responsive and hold your best interest at heart.. The student body is a great representation of the diversity of the area, and class discussions are often insightful to the different cultures and people that make up the San Jose State University community.

 " San Jose State is a nice place to go for school. The campus area is relatively small for the size of its student body, but classes are not overcrowded. Athletics, especially football, seem to be improving, although I have not been very involved in that area. The campus is usually a safe place to be, although the surrounding area is not so nice, which means you don't want to be walking around off campus after dark or on campus late at night, which means that there are occasional incidents on campus as well (There is an emergency alert SMS system that you can sign up for). Given my experiences, the teachers and counselors are usually understanding of special circumstances and are willing to help you out if you need assistance with your studies, especially if you go to their office hours (There is also a writing center in the library if you need help writing things like speeches or essays). The dorm food is alright, although the facilities are somewhat limited despite the number of students able to live on campus, which means that there are long lines to get in sometimes, especially early in the semester.

 " SJSU is pretty great place to study. It has great diversity, great professor (for the most part),  The Campus has a wealth of resources and support for students to take advantage of if they choose to. The library is massive and even has some amazing study spots with refreshing views. 

The beautiful California bay area weather makes this Campus hard to beat. "

 " My experience with SJSU overall is positive, but there is room for improvement. Parking is the worst because it doesn't have enough parking for students, and your parking permit doesn't guarantee you a slot either. Academic staff is very helpful while the administrative staff is hard to reach and sometimes they don't know what they are doing. "

 " Great campus, i enjoy my time here. Make a lots of friends in the process as well. Make sure to check out different clubs. Also don't feel bad if you have to switch major, many students do this until they found their choice. "
