BA in English - Batch of 2025
4.1
Truly a memorable experience to reminisce.
Tips: The campus initially came off as rather laid-back and calm but as the semester progressed, the intensity and workload also increased. The popular courses here are primarily in STEM and the faculty is also well-reputed. You will have to undergo relatively grading in your classes which can often be make or break.

great experience being here
Tips: One of the first things that stood out to me was the strong sense of community and diversity present here. The International Students Association has been an integral part of helping me settle in, and I've made most of my friends from here as well. Campus life will allow you to explore multiple opportunities and outdoor activities, which you should take advantage of. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my experience.

The university is wonderful and had a great experience.
Tips: One of the first things I noticed when I arrived on campus was the wide variety of opportunities available for students to explore their interests. I am a finance major and some of the course material has really stuck with me because of the teaching and practical experience offered here. The professors are always willing to answer questions and offer help, and the study groups are a great way to reinforce what you've learned in class. The course material is challenging, but the professors are very good at explaining the material and providing real-world examples. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience at San Jose State University.

MSDA at SJSU - The future of Data and Analytics.
Tips: This course is strictly for students who wish to study or follow their passion towards data and analytics. The curriculum is pretty challenging, but it's graduate level, and it's absolutely worth it. The amount of learning is quite huge. Absolutely satisfied and more than happy to be a part of MSDA at SJSU. One of the best decisions I had taken in my career .
Likes (Safety): Student life is fun, with lots of events and activities to explore. There are ethnic groups, resource groups and an Indian student organisation which conducts all the Indian ethnic festivals, it's a multi cultural society in college, so it's pretty fun to know what others are up to.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is top notch at SJSU for MSDA, and I absolutely enjoyed the classes for the specified curriculum, it helped me get an internship at AMD as well. For example, there are professors who pour their blood and sweat to teach the lessons in the most the easiest interpretable ways possible.

Absolutely great college with amazing infrastructure and diverse campus.
Tips: This college is well-reputed. The main thing is that, as you go for the feels option, they give us the option to pay fees monthly. This is convenient for those from middle-class families. I would not recommend making this your permanent home as you should always try new things. While the college is fine for staying in long-term, the campus is not that interesting. I'd also say this place is a good place to study and grow as a person. Campus security is good and it is really safe here. Everyone is friendly, so nothing to worry about. You can absolutely feel safe here. The teachers are caring, and all other staff are good, so overall security is great. Overall, I am satisfied with the college.
