Tower Hall is the centerpiece of San Jose State University. Built in 1910 to replace a previous building damaged in the earthquake of 1906, Tower Hall is the oldest structure on the SJSU campus, the oldest public school of higher education in California. State architects Sellon and Hemmings designed the building in the Spanish Revival style with influences from Gothic, Renaissance Revival, and Modern, reflecting the rich diversity found in San Jose. The building is still used as a lecture hall and serves as the office of the presidential administration.

I really appreciate the SJSU Wellness Center because not only can you go there to receive care when you're feeling sick, but they also have counselors available to talk with. They also have a lounge that's nice to sit in when I need a break from school to just read a good book.

I love the Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center. I go fairly often with a friend. We use the equipment inside and then afterwards if it's warm enough, we sit out by the pool. One time we asked some people if they wanted to play basketball with us and we ended up becoming friends. It reminded me of the importance of putting myself out there!

I love sitting outside of Tower Hall as the sunsets with my friends. In 2020 when COVID first hit, my friends and I sat on the lawn and would watch movies with a projector and a sheet in order to social distance but still be together. It is a really fond memory for me and something I'll miss since I'm graduating in a week!
