Got accepted and it’s my last choice college. Anyone care to give me some insight about it. Do you like it? How are the classes, campus, parties, ect
Hello.
I am a current Pace student. It was my last choice as well. I am only going here because of the awesome scholarship I got which I figured would help me save money as I plan on transferring to a better school for this coming fall. To be honest, it is like one big high school. Everyone is really cliquey and theres not many students. People don’t like to branch out of their close little friend groups. The classrooms and the building in which the classrooms are contained are really old and are in dire need of an update. The food is okay but often times the dining hall is closed at an inconvenient time which is a problem considering there is only one. As for parties they pretty much suck. If there happens to be any parties they are shut down by 12:30. People usually go into town for bars. If you did really well in high school or feel you went to a more competitive high school you probably won’t like it here. Unless your a nursing major every class is ran so slow and it is SOOOO easy. I think its a school for kids who didn’t do so well in high school and still need extra help learning material. I honestly felt like I have learned nothing this year at Pace which makes me upset because I actually do value my education and feel as though when I was in high school I was learning material that was way more difficult and actually challenged me. I know I sound bitter but I am just giving you my honest opinion of my experience at this school. Some people do love it here but if your someone who is looking for that big campus, with lots of student pride, good parties, challenging material, this school probably is not for you. It is basically the opposite of a school like UCONN if you are familiar with that.
Wow thanks for that, that was the exact honesty I was hoping for and I appreciate it. I love nyc to death but when I got accepted to pace and saw the reviews I wasn’t so pleased. I’m hoping I get accepted to my 2 top schools so I don’t have to resort to it. It honestly sounds like it’s the exact opposite I was looking for. Like I’m hoping to go to Syracuse or temple if you’re familiar with those bc of both the atmospheres and eduction. Thanks so much for that, really made me think of how much I’m hoping now to get accepted to the either of those 2 schools!!
@sagemae17 if you don’t mind me asking, which college are you switching to?
@bohemiamchic Syracuse and Temple both awesome schools with a really strong community among students! As of now I am looking to transfer to either UCONN or Fordham. Good luck with Syracuse and temple you will definitely love either!!!
@sagemae17 Which Pace campus did you transfer out of, Westchester or NYC?
