Testimonials

University Housing at San Jose State offers our journalism bootcamp students a clean and safe haven in the big city. After reporting on the streets and writing under fierce deadlines, they just love relaxing and hanging out in the dorms and getting a taste of college life after high school. They’re perfect for high-school programs that require more supervision but still want to offer their students an enjoyable stay on campus.
