Describe your favorite campus traditions.

My brother tells me that San Jose State University is best known for business. One aspect that makes this school the best to me is that it has very fun and engaging professors. The professors here are also researchers in the field so they would sometimes let us students come along to see what is like and do extra out of school learning.

I suppose it depends on what you are planning on doing at SJSU. For me it is known for it's great engineering programs. But I know the business dept is also top notch. So again depends on what you are looking for. Overall the school has one of the best water programs to minimize wasted water in the CSU system (though it could still use a lot of improvement). A fun fact is about the Tower on campus, which is actually the third carnation of the tower. The first burnt down within a year of it's construction.

My school is best known for their prestigious engineering program as well as their business program. They have the most available classes and funding out of all the majors. Given that we are located in Silicon Valley, there are plenty of opportunities for internships and work experience in this area. Our sports teams, especially football, are also one of the top ranked in California. Jeff Garcia, the former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, attended San Jose State as well.

My university is best known for our business and engineering program. Our school provides graduates to our community, Silicon Valley. We have a good on campus enviornment for students to interact with each other because our school is really compact compare to most other schools. We also have a good off campus enviornment since San Jose State University is located in downtown San Jose. My school is also known for our diversity, because my school is one of the most diverse university in California.
