Philly-area Redditor moving to San Jose for the summer. Need some advice

Hey r/bayarea, I got an internship at one of the many fine tech companies in your area for this summer doing software engineering, and I'm really excited! Since I won't be bringing a car, the company I'm working for sent us a bunch of info about the area, but I'm always a little wary of such things. I understand theres a San Jose area mass transit system, how nice is it? Apparently there's a stop right on company campus, and they recommended that I live in the dorms of SJSU since it also has a train.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me a little bit about how life is in San Jose without a car. I was also wondering if living in the dorms is convenient, and cost effective, since I had my doubts about that as well. Finally, my beloved Phillies are going to be in SF during my time there, how hard is it to get to SF from SJ without a car? I'd also love to hear any other exciting pro-tips or recommendations you guys have about living in San Jose.

Thanks a lot!

Your friend,
