San Jose State University Top Questions

It's diversity.

SJSU is known mostly for its kinesiology, child developement/ teaching, nursing and engineering programs. What it's really known for is being over crowded and overpriced. With some financial scandals that have hit the school, it leaves students wondering where our money goes and why we have to pay so much without seeing results somewhere. Students notoriously are unable to get into classes because sections are constantly getting cut and so are class sizes. I enjoy the smaller class sizes but we need more sections. Otherwise, I'd say we are known as an incredibly diverse university.

They are best known for preparing their enegineering/electronics students for a profession within the silicon valley. They are also known for having an art program that prepares them for a profession in Pixar.

We're known as a "commuter school", which is a label I detest, as it implies that people are just here for academics and for everything else, one should go to San Francisco. Some friends of mine started a monthly zine called 'San Jose is Lame Because You're Lame' that advertises events all over the city. There are art walks, mass bike rides, secret concerts, food truck nights, and all sorts of fun, unique things to do in my city and I hope that someday these things are what San Jose State is known for.
