I went to the SJSU Aeronautics program in the 1980s and really enjoyed it. It is a good combination of normal University slash Aviation school programs that is fairly well balanced. Half of my courses were on the main campus, while the other half were on the airport campus. In that respect it gives you a wider range of people to meet, not just aviation oriented people. It also gives you a much larger choice of elective courses or minors.
When I enrolled I had already done 1.5 years of Junior College and had all my ratings up through CFI, CFII, and Multi. That allowed me to work part time as an instructor for the three years I was there. In fact, I arranged a couple of semesters with classes only on Tuesday and Thursday ( mind you it was from 0800 to 2100 ) and spent the rest of the time working. I didn't get into the college social life, but I did graduate with an ATP, 2000 hours total time, and a lot of contacts. I was hired by a regional the month after I graduated thanks to one of those contacts.
SJSU, as you probably know, doesn't have an official flight program due to California State law. There are many flying clubs and FBOs where you can work in the area. There is also a lot of GA flying in the area so it shouldn't be too hard to get some good opportunities. I did a fair amount of traffic watch, but mostly instructing. I don't know what internships they have now, but those could be a good opportunity as well.
Giving advice like this is rather difficult without knowing your exact situation. I can say that it worked out fine for me to get all my ratings while attending Junior College and then going on to SJSU. Mind you, I was a five year plan University grad. It takes a fair amount of time and effort to get all your ratings. I had to work full time to make the money to pay for it all so I couldn't go to JC full time. It was very good to have all my ratings at SJSU though because I was able to fly a lot while I was there. My counselor at SJSU allowed some of my JC classes to become senior electives at SJSU so I was able to get some good credit for my JC time ( Voyage Into Space and Marine Naviagation ). I was also able to challenge two courses in the aviation program since I was already a CFI.
Make sure you get a good look at SJSU's general education course requirements and try to get those classes taken care of at the Junior College. I really had to scramble my last couple of semesters just to tick all the boxes for the degree. If I had payed attention to the requirements while at JC and taken more courses that would transfer it would have been much easier.
Good luck and GO SPARTANS !!!!
