    Am learning a lot

    San Jose State offers an immense variation of classes which students can use to fulfill their general education. I myself am enrolled in the humanities honors program which has given me a breadth of art, philosophy, literature, religious studies, and history unparalleled. I never imaged learning as much as I have my first year here at SJSU. In my other courses I've taken, which include sciences, statistics, physical education, and social sciences, I have received a thorough education from passionate professors. San Jose State has the type of learning environment that facilitates a mass potential for learning, if only the students take the initiative to educate themselves on a higher level.
    Am enjoying being here

    The diversity at San Jose State is nothing short of overwhelming in the best way possible. Students from all backgrounds, economic, social, religious, sexual orientation, race, and nationality form the student population. This diversity not only exists among students, but is recognized and celebrated by clubs, staff, and the associated student union. There are hundreds of clubs ranging from interests in sports, politics, race, gender, human rights, and activities. Living on campus is a wonderful and priceless experience at San Jose State. Community building activities are held frequently and are at no cost to students. And form a student who has lived on campus, they're fun. The dinning commons is a buffet style, which catalyzes the freshmen fifteen scare, but the free gym membership is a wonderful compliment. Altogether, students looking for an equal balance of diversity and fun should seriously look in to attending SJSU.
    Bang for the buck

    With the rising cost of colleges, SJSU is an affordable option for students looking to excel. As a respected university, and California's oldest college, San Jose State university offers programs, clubs, internships, and opportunities of an overwhelming amount. Students only need to take full advantage of this on their own.
    Tips for prospective students

    Learn to manage your time effectively and do not be afraid to try new things. Use rate my professor! Take all your classes seriously, and attend every class!
    Great for these types of students

    SJSU is excellent for students who enjoy diversity and engaging in extracurricular activities. Students who enjoy juggling activities and building personal momentum with fulfilling activities will love SJSU.

    A tip I would give is to get active in the college. universities look into students who get involved. look for help at the universities. There is many programs in the college that help u with books if needed. Tutoring is offered as well
    Academic Rigor

    This will all depend on how active the student. Teachers are most willing to help out any student if he or she asks. also as i mentioned before, there are many programs being offered at San Jose City College. some programs will contact the student, but it is up to the student to go to them for help

    Am learning a lot

    I enrolled in San Jose City College for the Fall 2009 Semester, part time with thoughts of pursuing a major in construction Technology. The reason for starting as a part time student was to avoid overwhelming myself, and to give myself time to adapt to my studies since I have not been in a school setting for such a long time. As I started to pick up more classes on my schedule, I began to get more confident and switched my major to Business Administration and this confidence was due to the professors and staff of San Jose City who were very helpful and made this experience much less intimidating. Am I learning A Lot? yes, and my confidence is still growing.

    Am enjoying being here

    Yes, I do enjoy attending San Jose City and when I transfer I will miss it but am excited to continue with my education plan of earning a B.A. in business and eventually my Masters.

    Bang for the buck

    I do believe that you get a lot more than what you for by attending San Jose City College and as i mentioned before, the staff here are very knowledgeable and are excellent instructors.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you need a place start there is no better place than San Jose City College and Evergreen In San Jose California. If you are returning to school this is also the place to build confidence.

    Great for these types of students

    San Jose City College has many trade profession program and certificate and degree programs and and you're very likely to find what you need here.

    the campus is pretty small and really intimate. the people are pretty friendly they mostly stay about their business seeing as it is a community college.
    Bang for the buck

    most colleges are expensive.For a community college its pretty cheap except the food in the cafe! however sometimes you may get a teacher who will cut you a break on books.
    Tips for prospective students

    its a take it easy environment for the most part. except for around finals. good luck funding people who are not stressed out around that time.
    Great for these types of students
