Blog #2: Bowl a strike at 300 San Jose

Another weekend rolls by and nothing happened.

You went to work, did your homework and sat at home doing the bare minimum with your friends.

Here’s an idea, hit up 300 San Jose — located at 5420 Thornwood Dr. in San Jose near Westfield Oakridge Mall — for a night of fun and games without the ridiculous Dave & Busters prices.

300 is an entertainment center that focuses on the young adult by providing cheap bowling, pool and a pretty substantial bar and grill.

Each lane has comfortable leather seating and club style lighting.

Blog #2: Get involved at SJSU

What makes SJSU fun?

As we all know, SJSU is referred to as a commuter school. Although many may not live on campus to experience or witness the fun that may go on after hours, they’re events that any student can partake in to enrich their college experience.

First and foremost, the one thing I would suggest for students to do is putting yourself out there and getting involved, go to events and try new things and meet new people.

A few fun things to do around campus are the events that Associated Students provide. Movie nights and campus fairs are a good way to meet new people.

Blog #2: Getting away from the hectic school work

SJSU students more than likely realized early on that the SJSU campus is situated right in the heart of the downtown area.

All within walking distance of campus, students can break from the sobriety of class work — tests, papers, annoying teachers — and occupy themselves with a little fun.

Located just blocks away on Market Street is the San Jose Museum of Art.

If you need some quiet time, this is definitely the place to visit.

Full of contemporary and modern art, the museum currently has Ansel Adams’ work on display, photography depicting a naturalist state of mind, which is actually kind of ideal considering the closest thing to nature in the area is the ivy overgrowth stretched across the side of the museum’s building.
