Transfer to UC Davis vs SJSU

<p>I'm a transfer student with an electrical engineering major. I've got into both schools, I just don't know which one is more fun? or which one has the better education?? I know SJSU might be a worse education but it has ample job opportunities especially for an EE in the heart of silicon valley.</p>

<p>I'm also curious about where a transfer student could live to meet a lot of people at both schools. I've heard it's better to live on campus for Davis? I don't know, help me out everyone!!</p>

<p>any one? please desperate</p>

<p>What is your major? I think you should decide base on which school offers the best program for your major. As for ranking, obviously Davis is ranked higher and more well known. </p>

<p>SJSU is an urban campus whereas Davis a more rural or suburban campus. Social life I believe is what you make of it, but I think Davis might offer more in terms of clubs and activity since it has a bigger endowment. </p>

<p>I don’t know much about SJSU housing, but for Davis, the housing are quite expensive but they are bigger than normal since the city itself is on a big land. Housing at Davis is spread all over so depending where you live it can take longer to reach some of your classes. Biking is a must in Davis, they actually have stop-lights specifically for bikers.</p>

<p>How’d you hear from Davis???</p>

<p>While they do have some lights that are specifically for bikers, biking is not necessarily a must in Davis. I am currently a UCD student, and I do not own a bike. I like to walk to my classes which can sometimes take up to 20 minutes but it does not bother me. I live on campus but if you would like to live further away there is a bus system. It is free with an undergraduate ID card, and it is a not a typical bus system meaning you do not feel like you need to put sanitizer all over your body when you get off. I use it to get to the grocery store and target. Downtown is filled with fun shops and restaurants. Housing is somewhat expensive but I can imagine a place like SJ would also have a higher price tag. I would say a one bedroom would run somewhere in the $900-$1000 range. The two bedroom I live in is $1250 for the next school year. If there is anything else you are wondering about just let me know!</p>
