Reasons to Attend
Comments about San Jose State University:
The programs were good, but over the past 30+ years SJSU has made a conscious effort to lower their standards for students in order to attract students who have low interest in University education. I understand that their intentions were those of "helping" problem demographics, but instead of pandering to students who failed to feel challenge why not offer a challenge to them and bring them up to a higher level? I attended this university as a graduate student and found the difference in cognitive investment between undergraduates and graduates to be startling.
Pros

Cons
Reasons to Attend
Comments about San Jose State University:
With all of the tuition costs, it was still fairly reasonable to attend SJSU since I lived at home and commuted to school. The school understands it's a commuter school, and has made many changes to make it accessible to those students who commute. The Administration of Justice program was really good, as you can see by the amount of students enrolled it in, the local SJPD and word of mouth in the area.
