My son has been accepted to both. There are differences in curriculum and we are wondering what is better and if it is worth the more expensive tuition at PACE?
The campuses are in the same area and we want to know what other questions to ask when we visit to help make the decision?
Hi @Dugin815 Congratulations! do you know what your son is going into? Musical Theatre, Business? there are specific links and threads pertaining to your question. I can try to link them for you. I do know that Suny Purchase is about a 30 minute or so ride into Manhatten so not bad at all
As I’m sure you know Pace has three campuses-- I was an adjunct teaching at Pace Pleasantville and had some students that had courses the same day in Manhattan and Pleasantville. Didn’t seem like a pleasant (pun) situation. Would that be an issue for your son?
@Dugin815 i totally missed the Film Thing (eye rolls here) it looks like the adjunct professor @donnaleighg knows better than I do but I hear Suny Purchase program is amazing!
Good luck and congratulations again
In my day it would have been SUNY Purchase for any kind of theater/film major, easily.
Unless that has changed in some way I’d say Purchase.
@OHMomof2 its still amazing! My son actually auditioned for their Drama program 2 days ago amd is still interested.
