What is so bad about San Jose State University?
Asked by JohnI live in San Jose and there seems to be a stereotype about SJSU that it's not a good school because anyone can be accepted. Almost everyone has the mindset to go to a UC or a different CSU, but I don't understand why people consider SJSU bad. I know it depends on what your major is, but I hear that the engineering program there is starting to pick up and is doing well. If there are any SJSU graduates reading this, did you have any problems finding a career after graduating. It seems that people from SJSU would not be competitive against other applicants such as someone from a UC or a "better" CSU. I'm asking all this because I might be attending SJSU.

None of the CSU schools are very selective and none are highly ranked. SJSU is ranked lower than most of the others. All of the UC schools are selective and many of them (especially UC-B, UCLA, UCSD and UC-Davis) are ranked highly. Going to a UC school rather than a CSU school will open more doors for you. The reality is that people who go to more selective schools get better jobs.
