Stay at SJSU or attend CC next semester?

I had an emergency circumstances that required me not to live on campus. I was considering bart but that’s nearly 2 hours to travel from Oakland to SJSU.
So I’m thinking about going to CC then coming back so that I can just finish the GE courses or attend a different CSU. But since SJSU is known for engineering/comp. sci, I feel like I would waste an opportunity by transferring to CC next semester.
