I’ve recently been accepted to both sfsu and sjsu for business administration. Which school is better in terms for Information systems? Finding internships? And post graduation life. I live 5 min away from SFSU but I wouldn’t mind commuting 50min to SJSU if it’s a better school.
Any advice would be appreciated!
San Jose State is probably better for overall business and for business information systems. SJSU close proximity to Silicon Valley and access to jobs helps. The commute to SJSU from the SFSU area can be over 1 hour during morning and afternoon rush hour traffic. The traffic on Hwys. 101 and 280, especially as you get close to SJ., are very heavy during those hours. If costs is the reason for you to be open to commuting to SJSU, perhaps you should pick SFSU.
I don’t think there’s nearly enough of a difference between the two schools to justify spending 2+ hours out of your day commuting. Don’t forget to factor in the parking and gas costs! You can do a whole lotta learning and earning and interning in those 10+ hours a week that you’ll save by staying in SF.
