    this is so insightful and i’m so excited! sjsu is literally perfect for me. every video i’ve watched is saying that the social life is kinda dead but i’m a major introvert so it’s perfect 😆 i love the big school feel but i don’t need a whole lot of friends. so even that “con” is a pro to me!!

    If you’re going to live on campus at SJSU, I highly recommend living in Washburn. It’s the cheapest dorm, and you can tell, but you’re most likely to meet new people in that dorm out of all of them. Don’t be afraid to knock on your neighbors’ doors! A lot of people also live their doors open during the first few weeks to welcome people in anyway

    Katherine, I found your video very interesting. I attended SJSU from 1977-1981. I was comparing how you describe the experience to mine. So much has changed, but some things never change. Good luck through the rest of your studies and experiences. You’ll do very well in life. Go Spartans!

    Hi I’m a first year! Would you recommend dorming or getting off campus housing with a friend? On one hand I would like to meet new people through dorming but also I could probably find cheaper options off campus and I wouldnt have to pay for meal plan (I would be able to make my own food).

    • @keepingupwithkatherine
      @keepingupwithkatherine  Před 4 měsíci

      hi! honestly I doubt my stats are the reason I got into SJSU my SAT score was below an 1100 I believe and my gpa was probably between a 3.0-3.5...my academics are actually reached an all time high once I started at SJSU!

    • @suyogv8235
      @suyogv8235 Před 4 měsíci

      Just for reference, the school has an impaction criteria. Check their website. They calculate it based on your Uc/csu gpa, with a few increases based on being in the local area (ignore that for int’l.) and you can find what the selection index was for your major last year on their website. Note that engineering classes (not cs though) use a different impaction criteria which adds points based on math classes, so they’ll seem to be harder to get into compared to something like cs but are often easier.

      awesome!! I just knew comm wasn't for me and I was way more interested in the advertising classes. having a meeting with the advisor helped me see that so many of my interests aligned with advertising...so that is what it came down to in the end!
