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.

Had a positive experience at San Jose State University.

Tips: The curriculum is very challenging but the professors are equally competent and the experience will leave you well prepared and ready for the job market which my seniors have also declared. Once you start applying, make sure you leave adequate time for the visa process as well. I am fully content with my course, university and the country.

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.

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 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 ve...

Communication with authorities is key

Tips: Communication with your academic counsellor is very important but can also be hard due to the fact that they aren't always available. It is also very important to talk to professors and let them know if you are struggling or need help. The staff is helpful but you need to make the initiative.

The university is supportive and diverse.

Tips: The location of the university is ideal and in the heart of California so you are exposed to several opportunities and industries as well. The campus is also quite diverse with people from all over the world. There are challenges with getting your preferred course as classroom sizes are very specific and can sometimes be unaccommodating. Overall, I am satisfied with the experience.
