It's…read morea rigorous program that pushes for social equity and preparedness as a professional public school teacher. The classes are not too bad; most of my classmates and professors are awesome. I can't wait to graduate (again) in December 2026! Fun fact: SJSU's Teacher Education department is the oldest public teacher preparatory program in California! To go back even farther, I got my Bachelor of Arts in journalism here. My academic journey was atypical: I first enrolled in August 2011 and officially graduated in August 2022. I'll spare y'all the details, but I'm proud of myself for coming back and finishing my degree. It just proves that anybody can get a college degree if you really put your mind to it. SJSU is a world-class university smack dab in the middle of the Bay Area. It's gotten better since I first enrolled and its location will only continue to make it an enticing option for college students. $4,700 a semester for full-time enrollment is honestly a steal. If you can focus on your goal of getting your degree and block out distractions, SJSU is awesome for what it is. There is free parking on the streets off campus if you know where to look. I don't recommend using the gym, library, or student union tbh. They're overcrowded and noisy. Just get food off-campus and study at home or a Santa Clara County or San Jose public library instead; they're quieter, and you have less of a chance of someone stealing your stuff. There are some occasional incidents with unhoused individuals having public mental health breakdowns, but it's nearly nonexistent compared to the 2010s.

I enrolled myself back to school (SJCC) during the height of the pandemic. Anyway, though school is a drag because it requires attendance, hard work, attention, memorialization, organization, understanding, and follow-through but I still feel butterflies in my stomach each time I am on campus. The orientation was long and I didn't think it should be mandatory, but if you don't attend then you will not be able to register for any classes. Parking is rough but I have been lucky to find parking across the street from Banh Mi Oven Tuesday evenings. I had 9 units - 2 online classes and 1 in-person class. You need a badge to get into buildings, so try not to lose it. During orientation towards the tail end of it, advisors/counselors were very helpful. I scheduled a Zoom with a counselor during the semester to confirm what I need and don't need to take. Both experiences have been wonderful. I am majoring in Sociology. The student union building (eateries, bookstores, bowling alley, etc.) is spacious and clean. It's busy during the school year. They only have Pepsi products on campus and no vending machines! There is a cafeteria-style food area as well. It is near their awesome gym equipped with a rock climbing wall, too. I have not had a chance to work out there yet. I also love the fact that MLK library is pretty much on campus as well. I just finished summer semester and still I'm in awe that I am a Spartan. Maybe I'll get sick of it but so far the only thing I'm sick of is their tuition. I don't qualify for financial aid, so I need to take a loan (financial aid and photos for IDs) are not on campus so plan ahead if you need to come there or to the bursar's office. My summer class alone not including textbook rental costed me $1580. For once class. Thankfully there are loans. Lots of flyers and posts on their Sammy app. I was fortunate to help make individual tiramisu for the honors history club. I don't have time to socialize. Let's be real. I'm old to be these students' mom, so I'm not trying to be but I enjoy reading posts and seeing the flyers and help wherever I can. I'm registered for 12 units this fall. Wish me luck!

And it's not just about our culture -- although few areas in the world are as energetic, as sustainable, as socially aware, and as open to new ideas and new people.

Granted, I have only been taking online classes but my experience has been great. The teachers are amazing. Shoutout to Professor Lahr. He was my English 1A and English 1B professor. My work schedule changed drastically and even though he understood that, he did not make it easy for me, instead met w/ me on several occasions to ensure I understand the assignment and what I need to to get it right.

I was there to join the occasion and so excited that we now have a campus to call "home". Also, we are the very first group to enjoy this facility. I started the EMBA (Executive MBA) program January of 2014 and my class number is 102N. We started out with 11 people at the kick off in Malibu and now we are down to 9 (8 from the original group and 1 just joined in this trimester). We are so lucky to have such a wonderful and well-collaborative group of cohorts. All of us have full time jobs and full time school. Also most of us are married and some of us even have toddlers. Juggling between school, work & family is really the core of the challenge. My advisor used to say, "If it was easy, everyone would be doing it." Trust me when I say, it's not for the faint of heart! Through these challenges, we cohorts have grown to care and support each other through the tough times, and share the joy of the accomplishment when each group project is checked off. We are all very different and yet we get along so well and so caring toward each others. The International Trip to China & Thailand last September definitely reinforced our bonds and have brought us that much closer. This program also comes with an advisor besides the wonderful and knowledgeable professors; we had Dr. Charlie Kerns for Leadership, Dr. Jeff Schieberl for Business Law, Dr. Samuel Seaman for Statistics, Dr. Sheila Moore for Finance, Dr. Charla Griffy-Brown for Information Systems, Dr. Marsh Nickles for Econ, Dr. Dave McMahon for Marketing and will have Dr. Kurt Motamedi for Strategies. The entire experience/journey has been numinous. There are times my fear of doubts do come by and told me that I won't make it to the end, but then that same fear quickly got overshadowed by all these intriguing topics which have kept me motivated and inspired to keep going forward. I have gained so much more confidence and have learned so-so much. I am now 80% done with the program and so much looking toward to graduation day. Yippie!!!
