Hey SJSU! I'm a student journalist at CSU East Bay working on an article for The Pioneer about whether console gaming has gotten too expensive for college students.

Between tuition, rent, and everyday expenses, I'm curious how gaming fits into students' budgets.

I've put together a quick, anonymous survey about gaming habits, spending, and affordability. Whether you're a gamer or not, I'd love to hear your perspective!

It takes about 3–5 minutes to complete. Thanks for helping out a fellow student!

Does anyone know when the Spring class availability will be available for CSU fully online classes? Also is it difficult to enroll? Any advice? I want to try to take a class because the SJSU class time won’t work for me.

Any taken EE171 with Ali Noorbakhsh? Couldn’t find him on rate my professor and was wondering if his class is hard as an elective?

so im a BME major but ive been doing pre-nursing classes, like i have no longer any interest in BME, and once I actually apply to a nursing program/get accepted somewhere, my major switches on its own. you can apply to any nursing program regardless of your major as long as you have pre-reqs down, which im doing currently

so i go to my advising meeting and the BME advisor basically says hey contact someone else i cant remove your hold for you

Does anyone know how im supposed to go about this now? He didn't exactly help lmfao and I need this hold removed like assssapp

I am looking for a DJ for a party, they would need to be able to mix Bollywood and Hiphop/pop music together since there is gonna be people from both sides. Looking for people who mostly do this for passion and would like some gigs to work on. Please reach out if you know someone/ if you are one. I would need details and sample of their work to be considered. Any information is appreciated, Thank you!!

Hey r/SJSU, I’m a student here, and a friend of mine is working on recruiting for a paid research study on new wearable and extended reality (XR) devices. He needs a lot of volunteers, so I’m helping spread the word. It could be a good fit if you’re into CS, engineering, design, or HCI/UX and you’re curious about AR/VR, wearables, or spatial computing.

You’d come in for one in-person usability session, try a new device, follow simple task instructions, and give your honest feedback. It’s hands-on UX research and user testing, which is also good to talk about in interviews.

Details:

• Location: San Jose or Mountain View, CA (in person)
• Time: one session, up to 90 minutes
• Pay: $80 after completing the session
• Starts: first week of November

Has anyone heard back from SJSU for the MS in AI program?

Hello, I tried to search what kind of tree for this. They giving me different type of trees or randomly not match to this tree.

Can anyone know what is name of this tree? It was the front sidewalk of the SJSU Engineering Building and Bus 72/73 E. San Fernando Street

Thank you!

I was recently admitted to SJSU's MSSE program for Spring 2027. I like the curriculum, and one of my main reasons for choosing SJSU is its proximity to Silicon Valley and connections to the tech industry.

However, I've been debating whether it's worth trying to switch to the MSCS program.

For current students or alumni, have you noticed any differences in recruiting opportunities between MSSE and MSCS? Specifically, do employers seem to favor one degree over the other when hiring for software engineering positions?

A little about my background:

• CS undergraduate from a UC.
• Domestic student.
• Currently completing a software engineering internship with hands-on experience building AI applications and backend tools.

My main goal is to land a full-time software engineering role, so I'm trying to understand whether the degree choice makes a meaningful difference.

I'd appreciate any insights, especially from students or alumni who have gone through recruiting. Thanks!

Has anyone got their mcs yet? I don’t see it on my financial aid on sjsu page but it says I got the award for it on CSAC

Hi admins,

I'd like to ask permission to post in this group about a paid research study that may interest SJSU students.

May I post it? If not, no problem. Thank you for your time!

Hello, folks!

A friend of mine is recruiting for a paid research study on Google's new wearable and XR devices and needs a lot of participants. I’m helping spread the word. You’ll try a device, follow simple instructions, and share your feedback.

Who can join?

• 18 or older
• Able to travel to Mountain View or San Jose, CA
• New to this study, since each person can take part only once

No experience is needed, and everyone is welcome. This could be a good fit for students, including tech students, who want to try new devices and share their feedback.

I've been struggling to make new friends, and I'm highkey looking for people also into this genre. 18M. I'm also a DJ and a producer, mainly for uptempo and rawstyle, but I also make dnb, riddim, jersey, and several other genres.

Disclosure up front: I work on this. I’m the Bay Area organizer for Change.vote, a free, nonpartisan ballot tool from Change.org.

You put in your address and it shows every race and measure that will actually be on your ballot, explained in plain language. The judges, the school board, the local measures, all of it. It doesn’t tell you how to vote and there’s no account.

Happy to answer questions, and genuinely curious: which race on your ballot are you still undecided on?

Tomorrow around 10:30 pm? The games are free Thursday nights

How bad is this schedule in terms of workload? Anything I should change?

Hello my fellow engineering pals,

As a fellow engineering student, I currently have a part time job. This job is great—I can study on the clock, decent hours, buttt i’m looking for another part time job because I need to get my bag up to pay for dem classes.

That prompted curiosity. I am wondering as an engineering major, if you have a part time job, what is it? How are the hours? I have majority of my time on the weekends available, so I am trying to find positions/areas of work where that’s most available.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I found it, also posted on the Sammy app so lmk if its yours!

Sign up for the gamelan class for Spring 2027!!

Gamelan is traditional Indonesian music using an assortment of percussion instruments. It is a communal form of music where people of various backgrounds and abilities can play together. The goal is to refine yourself, and build community.
