San Jose State University User Reviews and Ratings
Excellent School
By David, From New Mexico
Excellent university for the money with beautiful, historic campus. Many excellent professors at SJSU and quite a few nationally recognized programs. Also, there are tons of student organizations on campus. Lots of smart people at this school, strong core curriculum and great job prospects after graduation. Very pleased overall.

Academic life and Employment oppurtunities
By S, Class of 2018, From San Jose, CA
I was a Graduate student in Software Engineering, Batch of 2018. Few teachers genuinely care for your welfare, but the curriculum is excellent. Every subject I have taken has only added to my resume. Don't expect a life outside of studies and projects. Location advantage cos you stay in the middle of Silicon Valley; helps a little when you apply for jobs.

Great for what you pay
By Sarah 2017, From San Francisco, CA
As long as you are strategic and know what you want, SJSU can help you get there. Each college has its pros and cons, and you simply can't beat the location. There are abundant career opportunities in the area, but it is a commuter school at its core. The surrounding area is not the safest, but you get a great education during class and outside on the streets of San Jose. You grow up quickly here and if you play your cards right, you will start your career off on the right foot.

This school is one thing AVERAGE
By Student 408, From San Jose, CA
If you like being dropped from over filled classes or not being able to graduate in 4 years, come here. If you are interested in a campus that has a dying Greek life, sports community and social life; pack your bags high school seniors and come join us.

SJSU Engineering is ranked #3 in the USA and also offers a Minor in Portuguese. What a great combo!
