SJSU would have a recruiting advantage over UNH for computing jobs in Silicon Valley due to proximity to employers – more convenient for both the employers and students when there is no air travel or long distance driving involved.

However, CS is one of the most selective majors at SJSU for both frosh and transfer admission. For transfers for fall 2017, the threshold was 3.50 GPA with all five major prerequisites (in addition to general transfer course requirements) completed: http://www.sjsu.edu/admissions/impaction/impactionresultstransfer/index.html#ComputerScience

If this is your second year (with 47 credits completed and 15 in progress), it is already on the late side to start writing transfer applications for junior level transfer; you may have to take a gap year if you really want to transfer. Many colleges do not want senior-level transfers. This includes UCs and CSUs, although if all of your credits are lower division (frosh/soph level), then they will be capped at 70, so that you would not be seen as a senior level transfer.

What was the reason for choosing UNH in the first place? Are you looking for a school with some similar characteristics?
