"Beautiful College Living"

This street is great for the twenty-something, either attending school or not. It's about a block away from the main campus of San Jose State University. There is plenty to do, but I wouldn't recommend this street for kids. It's mostly college aged students in apartments, so it can get pretty noisy and rowdy. However, if you're looking for some quality house parties, this is the place for you.

"close to the university"

east san carlos starts at 1st street. but doenst really start until 2nd street where you can find food like jack in the box and pizza. the university begins a block later.

the university takes up about 7 blocks of san carlos street. fortunately where san carlos street hits the university there is a path that leads you right through it to 10th street. there are also various events that happen on campus that are on that strip.

on the other side of the university are more student like stops...there is a catholic church and roberts bookstore as well as pizza, subway, bubble tea, top dog, and a small resturant. at about 11th it becomes really residential and is a really nice little area. i would assume there are students living there but the area is really quite.

day or night there are people on san carlos...either going to the 7/11 on 11th street late at night or getting ice cream at ben and jerrys on san carlos and 2nd, but it is more a pass through street with some food on it than a place that offers any real hang out. however pizza my heart does have a nice meeting room...so thats a plus...and jack in the box is open 24 hours.
