aka San Jose State or SJSU
The oldest public university in California and founding campus of the California State University system. It is located in downtown San Jose, obviously. Colors are blue and gold and their mascot is the Spartan. The student population has a lot of Latino and Asian (mostly Flips and Viets) enrollments. Their engineering program is well known if you want to get hookups to neighboring tech companies in the Silicon Valley.
A known landmark would be the bell tower, which is electronically wired to sound hourly. There is also a new housing complex called the Campus Village which costed about 200 million to replace the older residence halls. Another landmark is the MLK Jr library which is probably the most appealing building on campus.
On the last note, parking costs are killer. Be prepared to empty your wallets if you commute.

Get the home state appeal mug.A land, sea, and space-grant public university that's part of the UNC system. Located in Raleigh, NC. Often picked on by UNC students who think they're important because Michael Jordan attended there over 40 years ago and mommy told them so.
NC State develops students into innovators and leaders. State students often end up in exciting and steady careers that people need and respect since all students, including athletes, take real courses, but more importantly because they didn't go to a university that only offers degrees in gender studies.

Get the NC State mug.When talking about the state of São Paulo, the superlative form is a must. It is the state with the country's largest population, largest industrial complex, highest economic production, the one that receives the largest number of immigrants and, as expected, the most cosmopolitan state in Latin America. São Paulo was built thanks to hardworking people coming from all over the country and the world, who kept the vocation for work statewide. São Paulo has 645 municipalities and a population of approximately 40 million inhabitants. With the country's best infrastructure and a highly skilled labor force, São Paulo can be called "Brazil's locomotive". All kinds of products are manufactured in the state, mainly high tech items. Its strong points, however, are not only related to the industry. Paulistas - São Paulo inhabitants - have also transformed agriculture and livestock farming into a potency. As regards the Economy, there are more than 258 malls spread nationwide, 155 of which in the Southern region, responsible for more than 300,000 job positions, aside from a comprehensive wholesale and retail chain nationwide. São Paulo's participation in the Brazilian banking system reaches almost 50% in volume terms. Also, Latin America's largest Stock Exchange is located in the state's capital.
São Paulo city, is the capital of São Paulo State, and Osasco City is the 5th biggest paulista municipality.
