What the hell are people doing to constantly break the cable towers if its not the carabiner its the pins for the weight stack

I'm an incoming transfer from another major city in CA (albeit smaller than SJ). I applied to probably 50-75ish jobs before landing my most recent position in fast food. I've been applying to places in San Jose, both on & off campus since May & it's definitely been more than 50-75 applications. I don't want to make myself sound stupid, but is it really that bad? I really want an on campus job & I don't plan on giving up on trying to find employment any time soon, but I just want to know if everyone else is struggling as much as I am lol

Is the SRAC normally crowded ? Specifically the open lap pool during the hours that the community can come in? I want to buy a day pass to swim in the lanes but am afraid by the time I get there, there will be too many people

I am posting this again as I have not found anyone yet. I am looking for someone to take over my lease at 27 North. Move in date is August and the least ends in July of next year. Apartment is 3-bedroom with 3 roommates. The room is shared with another girl and is $1078 a month. Bathroom is attached to the room so it is only shared between you and the shared room roommated. Pet-friendly and female only!

Hello,

Apologies if this is not on topic enough. I'm going to be staying right off the SJSU campus this week and was wondering if any current and former students/faculty have recommendations for close by eateries. More so mom/pop places or local chains.

Hey all, I’m getting anxious about this next semester, have they released the awards for fafsa and/or student loans yet? My account is a little weird right now so I’m getting anxious

Are candle warmers allowed in the dorm?

I hope the school expels this POS!

As a special session student, does anyone have experience with using school services like the gym or getting the VTA pass?

PS: I purchased the H permit but anything else I need??

Got placed in the washburns and i don’t think our lifestyles mix well together.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone to take over my lease at The Grad San Jose for Spring/Summer 2027. It’s located in Downtown San Jose right next to SJSU, so it’s a really convenient option for students.

Rent is $1,869/month, and the lease runs until July 31, 2027. The floor plan is C1, and there are 2 other male roommates in the apartment. Water, gas, sewer, trash, and high-speed internet are included, while electricity is billed separately.

This would be an official lease assignment through The Grad, so the replacement would need to apply and be approved by the leasing office. Message me if you’re interested or want more details!

Hello all! I’m in need of a place to rent in the San Jose region for the upcoming SJSU academic year. Ideally, I'd like to move in sometime in the second half of August. I am returning from my study abroad program on August 11th, so any date before that is not viable. 🙇‍♂️ 

A little about me: I am a 23-year-old male who just got back from studying overseas. I am a clean homebody, considerate and easy to live with—non-smoker, no pets, and hardly any visitors.

Here's what I'm looking for:

• 📍 San Jose or the surrounding areas (I'm happy to commute by car)
• 💰 Budget: Up to $1,300/month
• 🚗 Parking is a must since I have a car
• 🏠 Open to living with roommates
• 🧺 In-unit washer and dryer preferred

If you know of any available rooms, apartments, or houses that might be a good fit, I'd really appreciate it if you could reach out. Please DM me here first for my contact information. I primarily use Discord, email, and phone, and I don't have Instagram.

Thanks so much! I appreciate any leads, referrals, or recommendations.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have experience living at Kennedy Hall Apartments (555 S. 10th St.) or know someone who has?

I'm curious about what it's actually like living there. How was your overall experience? How's the management and maintenance? Is the area generally safe, especially walking to and from SJSU? Any issues with noise, parking, bugs, or anything else worth knowing?

Would you recommend living there, or are there any red flags I should be aware of?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! I'm a female student in CVB this fall! I am in a 4 bed room single, and I'm looking to potentially swap w someone in CVA/CVB who is also in a single room as well. One of my main reasons for swapping is that I'm not a fan of heights and would prefer a room on the lower levels (like floors 3-5 would be perfect) but if interested/ applicable/ for more details please DM me!

Hi everyone! I am currently going to live on campus at CVB. However, I have checked my housing portal and I don’t have any updates regarding my roommates. Does anyone else have this problem?

Are there ever any parties at SJSU, I know the party/social scene is already pretty dead but I mean is there like ANY at all. Do I HAVE to join a fraternity 🤔

Hey everyone, I plan on taking the following classes for my first semester as a transfer:

- EE 110 with Olga Torgashiva

- EE 112 with Marouf

- MATE 153 with Shenli Zhang

Do you guys have any advice for these classes/instructors? I plan on spending the next month to prepare myself

I’m moving into a svp triple in less than a month. To any one who knows, what’s the process like. Also are air fryers allowed?
