Does San Jose State University suck? -

My dad keeps telling me that I should go to San Jose State since its closer but I don t want to do it. I want to go to UC s but my gpa is too low because I did not take PE in my freshman year due to a charter school that I went to. He wants me to go there because it is much closer to our house. If I can get to a CSU I would like to go to Long Beach State University or something higher. San Jose State doesn t have everything I want. For example, I want to go to Russia in my college years but the only CSU that have it is Cal Poly Pomona and Long Beach State. My father wont even let me go to Community College and let me take the transfer program to Berkeley. I know I can make it to Berkley if I take the transfer program but he wont let me because he thinks it is a waste. Right now, I m focusing on my Sat s so I could increase my chances of getting accepted to Long Beach. I m in junior year now so I have to try hard since this is the most important year of my high school years.

SJSU is alright. The main problems are lack of funding, which is a problem for every community college, CSU, and UC right now, and craptastic administration/logistics, which might be a problem at any CSU. Academically, it is decent and comparable to the less competitive UCs.However, if it doesn t have the program you want to do, then it would be a mistake to go there. If you go there just to appease your father, you will always regret not being able to study abroad in Russia.Since it is junior year, you still have time to possibly change his mind. If you have relatives who have a good relationship with your father, talk to them about what s going on, and see if they can help you work on changing his mind. Also, keep in mind that you will be an adult soon, and the decision on what college to go to is yours alone. While you may not have your father s financial or moral support, you do have the freedom to go to college anywhere - and depending on your family situation, you might get enough financial aid to make it a non-issue. The fact that he won t even let you go to a CC and transfer is bizarre, since you would be living at home for two years and going to a much less expensive school than SJSU.

Nah, San Jose University Doesn t Suck.I ve Been There Twice To Visit.Here s The WebSitehttp://www.sjsu.edu/In My Opinion It s A Pretty Good University.They Have A HUGE Library :Dhttp://slisweb.sjsu.edu/images/mlklibrar��Its Like 6 Stories.It;s Pretty Awesome.Good Luck:)

I didnt want to go there because its overcrowded (like 30,000+ students? no thanks) and way too close to home. Id rather go to a school where I can get the most out of my education and not have to deal with 5435532 people in a class.

No! San Jose State doesn t suck!

I live in SJ, go to Chico.
