| I attend school now in Southern California and live with my parents. I want to go away to school for my junior year. My parents want me to go up to BYU, but I really don't want to. I would like to stay in CA, but I would like to live in an area that has quite a few members. Are there are lot of YSA members that attend your institute? |
| We do have a good group of YSA members who attend our institute, with approximately 130 students attending each semester. There are 3-4 institutes in this area (including one at Stanford) with various activities going on every week. There are also several single wards in this area. You might want to visit sometime to get a feel for the different institutes and YSA groups in Northern California. Feel free to call or visit to get more information. Please email SanJoseCA@ldsces.org or call 408.286.3313. |

| Hi, I plan on attending classes at Palmer College of Chiropractic in San Jose. Is this the closest Institute? What info is available about housing? Any info would be great since I dont know the area or anyone there. Thanks!! |
| Yes, the San Jose Institute does cover all of those going to San Jose area schools, although there are also institutes located in Cupertino and Saratoga to give everyone more choices. The best thing to do about housing is to come to the institute. Then you can meet other students and also post a housing request sign on the bulletin board for other students to see. Let us know if we can help with anything further. |

| I am looking to attend Santa Clara University and was wondering if many other LDS students attend there. I was also wondering what ward I would be attending as a single SCU student. |
| Brittany,
Depending where you will live, you will most likely attend the Washington Square Branch located at the San Jose Institute.
66 S. 7th Street
San Jose, CA 95112
You will want to enroll in a San Jose Institute class in order to meet the most LDS YSA in the area. We usually have around 120 students enroll in the San Jose Institute each semester.
Look Forward to having you here,
Brother Bohn |
