The best way to get to know the campus is to have a map and go exploring. It is a good idea always to have a map with you. You can find one in this guide, as well as on the back page of the Schedule of Classes. Here are a few things you’ll want to know about.
Study Areas—You’ll find study spots in the campus library, Student Union, and outdoor benches and tables.
Food—There are eateries in the Student Union and Old Cafeteria Building. You’ll find vending machines and coffee stands around campus and many restaurants not too far from campus.
Computer Labs—Computer labs are provided for your use in the library (2nd floor), Washington Square Hall 119, MacQuarrie Hall 332, A.S. Computer Center (top floor- Student Union), and Sweeney Hall 333. It is recommended to visit your departments main office and ask if your major provides a lab for its students. Most majors have a designated computer lab, which will include programs and applications you will need to complete your assigments. It is always best to ask!
Transportation—Parking is provided in the 10th, 7th and 4th Street garages, as well as the South Campus (with a free shuttle to the main campus). You’ll also find both light rail and bus routes close to campus. Bicycle enclosure space is available for free. Information about alternatives to driving can be found in the Transportation Solutions Center in the Student Union.
Safety—Should you need to contact the police or request an evening guide escort, you can use any of the “blue light” phones located both inside and outside of buildings throughout campus. Contact the UPD at 924-2222.
Academic Home—It is a good idea to know where the department and college offices are located for your major as you will need to visit them to find out about advising and orientation. Check the SJSU Web site or ask a professor from your department.
Lost? Not sure where to find what you’re looking for? Stop and ask someone, ask your professor, stop by the Information Desk in the Student Union, or check the SJSU Web site.
