text: Your having trouble finding a list of colleges in the valley because Sillicon Valley isnt really a city. Do your search again, and instead of using Sillicon Valley, try San Jose, CA. I think you will find a list that way.\n\nThe colleges that are in Silicon Valley are Stanford University, Santa Clara University, and San Jose State University. \n\nIn the San Francisco Bay Area, there are UC San Franscisco, University of SF, SF State University, UC Berkeley, CSU East Bay, Sonoma State University and the ones i mentioned above.
