San Jose State, California State Long Beach Or City College Of San Francisco??

Hi,
I graduated university in abroad couple of years ago (studied politics) and recently moved to California and want to go to state university to study graphic design.. (financially, i will not be able to afford going to private art school. )
Which state university have better program for graphic design? San Jose state university or California state university Long Beach?? I also find out City College of San Francisco offers certificate program for graphic design. Would it be as good as studying at 4year university?
if I moved to San Jose or Long beach, will I be able to live without a car??? (I am currently living in San Francisco and not familiar to other cities in california..)
I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some advice..

    San Jose has a really good transit system, and is a cool place to live. I lived there for 3 years and loved it!
    Personly I hate long beach, the air is bad and the people are worse.

    Do not go to San Jose State for graphic design or any art related program. Their art programs are not good. Long Beach is an ok school, but I dont really like that place either.
    I think going to the city college is good enough for you because you already graduated with a degree. The city college is way cheaper than a 4 year university. You should do the certificate.

    I just moved to San Jose last summer and it is actually a great experience. You got the Tech Museum really close to the University. I go to san jose state university by the way. And I don’t have a car but I get around just fine. They give you a free bus pass with tuition and a tour of places you can go with your bus pass. The city is very nice!! I often go for walks. You are like right downtown and anything you need is there. If you end up going there, hit me up. I dont have a problem with helping you. I’m starting my sophomore year next fall.
