San Jose State University Top Questions

That it would take longer to graduate than I thought.

I wish I would've known that I was going to switch majors.

I wish San Jose State University was more better well known for its academics which it is nationally rated on.

Most of the lower division general Requirement classes are available during the summer and winter semesters. Most of the upper division classes are not available during the summer and winter semester. Rate my professor website ought be consulted before choosing classes.

That I didn't actually want to be an artist.

I wish I had known that teachers are not as caring as the ones I had in high school. They didn't care if I was sick or needed to catch up with the course work, so I constantly fell behind.

That it was really diverse over here. I like that because you get meet people from all over the world. You can learn different values and ideas from them. It also makes it easier to make friends because people are very friendly and they treat you with respect.

I wish that I knew how unfriendly the downtown and surrounding areas are to college students. There are very little activities for people ages 18-20 to do with out spending a lot of money. No cute boutiques, record stores, book stores, all-night coffee shops, there are no stores you would think you could find in a college town. Because of this, the weekend are very dead and many students go home, or out of town, and party, shop and hang out at other campuses.

I wish that I had considered how much being away from home would bother me; when I first moved to San Jose from a small rural town, I was very homesick and lonely. I did not consider how much I rely on my family for comfort and support. Of course, this is my fourth year here, and I have grown to like it here, but I wish that I had thought more about the impact that moving would have on me.

I wish I had known that it was so hard to find things to do on the weekends.
