Pace University Reviews
Rating 3.58 out of 5 2,265 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
Pace University has truly become my home. Moving to NYC was the best decision I’ve made. Pace has been welcoming, easing the transition with resources to help me settle in. The counseling and health services have connected me with affordable external resources to maintain my well-being.
What stands out at Pace is the vibrant creative community. Everyone here, regardless of major, is creative in some way. Collaborating with others and forming meaningful connections has been the highlight of my experience. The Environmental Science professors have been outstanding.
However, the math department struggles to adapt to students' needs, with lectures often being too advanced or too basic. The clubs are extraordinary, offering a wide range of choices. The food is good but limited, making it challenging for those with dietary restrictions. Dorm life has been comfortable, with maintenance being impressively responsive.

Im an incoming Freshman at Pace University and my main experience at the school is strongly based on my orientation. I had a great experience at my orientation and although I'm a commuting student, the orientation gave me the full dorming experience. I had a great time, made many friends, the school was clean and aesthetically pleasing, the meals weren't too bad, and I was introduced to a few open minded and intelligent professors. My experience at the orientation has set high expectations for the fall semester and I genuinely can't wait for school to start, and I can assure I've never made a statement like that in the past.

The staff has been super helpful with class scheduling and housing arrangements. The professors are interested in the subjects they teach and assign helpful assignments. The location is amazing and I can walk to all my favorite spots. No need for a car! Food options are abundant in all the buildings and the dining plan is super reasonable. The students are well-rounded and it is an extremely divers community. Everyone is super nice and motivated.
