Advice about SJSU?

I'll be attending SJSU this fall as a business major (transfer student) and I'd appreciate any advice that current students and alumni can give me. I've already been told that the teachers are excellent but that not everyone is serious about their studies and that it's a commuter school. I was also wondering how difficult are the classes and what are the chances of me finding a good job or getting into law school after graduating from there.Advice about SJSU?
As a current student, SJSU is a great bet and it won't let you down, I say. Tuition is affordable as a California State Univerisity, professors are indeed excellent and there is a lot of tutoring and academic services available if you think you are falling behind or just need to catch up. The business department is top-rated as far as I can say though I am in science. Every year, the business school is the most popular as it has the most undergrads in it. There are many concentrations you can choose from too.





';not everyone is serious about their studies'; is something you can take lightly. No matter where, you will always encounter such people. It also depends on who you hanging out with and who you know. If you tend to linger around people who is not serious about their studies, then true, you will think that not everyone is serious about their studies. Most professors here are very approachable. If you need help, don't be afraid or admit that you need help and the professor sometimes might even private tutor you during their office hours.


On the other hand, there are always some very studious people here. The library here in SJSU is open till like 12am and I always see someone walking out at that time. There are people here that are vary talented


and is into research, well, at least thats what I know from the college of science.





In terms of being a commuter school... mainly you get that feel because not many people is very active in campus life. Though there is like 3 new campus dorm buildings just recently built with something like 12 floors each, they are packed. So if you want to live on campus, you can, just sign up early. But back to that commuter school feel... most people feel this way because most students here in this school live within 30 miles from here and rather choose to live at home. Also, many hold part time jobs or internships in the Valley which takes up their time, not because they want to have low school spirit, though they might act that way. Most students here in SJSU I say are from working families and are very practical. Most people take advantage of the time they are here in SJSU. Though there is always the few party crowd, they are in the minority. Most students here are on financial aid and they will try everything they must do to make it. As a result, most students are not too much in the mood to party hard as they rather be studying or working or maybe stay at home or party away from campus.





Difficulty of classes really depends. Most general education classes are o-kay. Math and science classes might be harder. Liberal arts and history classes are tolerable.





Chances of you finding a good job? Excellent I say and it depends how you miake of it. Surrounding SJSU and the Bay Area is home to many high tech firms, biotech companies, oil tycoons, Fortune 500, and headquarters of quite a few corporations and major banks. Good job, this word, is then subjective? Good as in payrate, as in benefits, as in promotion opportunities, as in job security, as in challenging field?? It all depends on oneself.. and one's major which you happen to be in business. It will take time to move up the career ladder and you will have to sample around to see which company might offer the best for you.





Getting into law school from SJSU? I'm not in that field, so I dont think I'm qualified to answer this question... However, I do know of people from here that did went on to PhD, post doctorate, medical, optometry, and pharmacy schools... through hard work of course, and that means excelling professor's requirements, establish links with professors, studying for those grad school exams, and have a well planned thought out goal and timeline. Wish you luck.
