I know someone who will be going to Etown in the fall. Almost identical stats to yours . He chose the schoo, because he wanted s fully residential school with a stellar instrumental music department. He visited and found it a very warm and welcoming place, as well as generous. Pace is a great school, but it is a commuter school and suffers by comparison to other New York schools, particularly on the area of international relations, because some of the New York schools are among the best in the country. The proximity to those top schools is unfortunate for Pace. But they are both good schools and you can’t go wrong. Just get your finances in order and then find a good attitude toward the school you choose.
