<p>i have a question for people in california....or if you know a lot about colleges in california. im from Georgia thinking of applying to some colleges in california.
what are good colleges other than the UCs. Is San Jose State Univ. pretty good? what are some good state univ.?</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO</p>

<p>you have to tell us your intended major</p>

4

<p>intented major is most likely mechanical engineering</p>

<p>hopefully someone can help you with that. Besides the polytechnics, i have no clue since i intend to do accounting. San jose i would say yes due to the area, but otherwise i dont know. Fullerton has some exotic combinations with eng, physics and biz degrees. otherwise, good luck</p>

<p>san jose state is okay. but, san diego state is better and has more of the california lifestyle you may want (very close access to beaches and great, mild weather). sdsu also has a mechanical engineering program - <a href="http://mechanical.sdsu.edu/undergrad/index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mechanical.sdsu.edu/undergrad/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>USC and Harvey Mudd are two good private ones.</p>

8

<p>Stanford and Caltech are fairly decent. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Agree about the weather, but you really need a car to get to the beach from SDSU. To get to the beach on foot from campus you'd have go west --> walking about 15 miles, including going around hills and canyons and crossing over or under four different freeways (I-15, I-805, 163, and I-5).</p>

<p>UC San Diego is in a beautiful location. San Diego State is in an average location, not very close to the beaches. San Jose State is ugly (in my opinion) and in a dangerous neighborhood.</p>

<p>The neighborhood around SJSU is not dangerous......</p>

<p>Does San Jose have a lot of Japanese people?</p>

<p>Really, because last time i was there a couple of years ago it wasnt exactly the safest location in the world.</p>
