San Jose State puts you right in the center of the action in Silicon Valley. The Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering is the largest at the university and enjoys a strong relationship with the regional tech industry. The College of Humanities and the Arts incorporates unique research centers that focus on the lives and work of author John Steinbeck and composer Ludwin von Beethoven. The fairly compact campus blends in seamlessly with the Downtown San Jose landscape and offers direct access to many of the city’s most popular attractions, including the San Jose Center for Performing Arts and the lush green parks along the Guadalupe River. The main campus is also largely surrounded by residential neighborhoods, making it relatively easy to find an apartment or rental home within walking or biking distance.
