San Jose Staaaaaaateeeee

From basement to University, San Jose State University has history. This history can be investigated and traced around the bay area. With the 150th Anniversity special report by The San Jose Mercury News, it makes it even easier to do the research.
This Topic interested me first of all because it has the San Jose State written all over it and know nothing, let me say that again, NOTHING about the history of San Jose State University. With this I could do the research that I would have done, if I wasn’t so lazy in High school, and learn the reaches of San Jose State University. I could also add my personal experiences of a student life in state. Half of the research is done for me and I could go on campus to further my research opportunity also since I live in the same area that the school is located I could get even more information then if I was across the world.
Of course I could follow multiple leads and end up in different places, which allow the flexibility I love the most. Plus the topic is narrow yet wide enough to start and finish. It is also on going with, every graduating student. There is also lots of places to place my opinions and ideas as well. I could follow the steps on how a university is made and how it grows, wit the problems and tribulations that it goes threw. I could interview the president and look up places and historical land marks to take pictures my self.

  1. I thought this article and your post was interesting. Did you know that our college was the first institute of higher learning/education in all of California? Makes me feel kinda proud to go to SJSU. Sure there are better colleges out there no doubt, but I'm here at SJSU and that's how things are. I think it would be great if you did a research report on SJSU, it sure would be a hell of a lot easier getting your data...haha. Well see you in class.

  2. hey eric, this was very interesting to read due to the fact that i didn't realize you liked the history of places. Also i liked how you included your personal information into the article. What i am referring to is you being lazy in high school, hey we all were lazy in high school so don't feel bad. i liked how you have already made a list of things you should do like interview certain people of SJSU.
