Mike's Review

Review of Pace University

from East Northport, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Pace University is the place to go if you love living in a fast paced environment. We have campuses both in the heart of the city and also in Westchester for you to enjoy the stars and the quietness of nature.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Grades aren't everything. Try the hardest you can in High School without burdening yourself. Have fun and treasure those years while you still have them. College is the real world and you'll have plenty of help once you get there, so enjoy yourself while working hard in school.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

You are not going to drown but be prepared, you are not in high school anymore. The rigor depends on how you and your advisor make your schedule. 18 credits might sound scary but not if you are taking a mix difficult and easy classes. Take courses that you find interesting while at the same time fulfill those core requirements

Describe the dorm life at your college.

You live in the city; enough said. 24 hour everything, comedy clubs, 18+ night clubs, and amazing residence hall activities. Sign up for a theme floor if you can and live in Maria's Tower. Between all the free food and awesome trips you'll go on, once you come and experience it you will know you made the right choice.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We use Chartwells Dining Services and the food is good. You will get tired of it after a while, but that even happens at home. The plus side to that is you get flex dollars to use at various food places in the immediate area of Pace, so you don't need to spend cash from your pocket.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Go to school activities! Pace has so many different events from the students every single day; you just need to be willing to go out and experience new things. Get out of your comfort zone and try something you've never done before.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We have 24/7 security wherever students are. You are required to show Pace ID in any building you walk into and we are a closed campus which means you either need to be a student, signed in, or you don't come in. Being in the city it is very nice to know that people who do not belong in our building will not be there.
