Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

My overall experience at Pace University has been positive and full of growth. The professors are supportive and genuinely care about helping students succeed. I’ve enjoyed the small class sizes, which make it easier to participate and connect with others. Being involved in different campus activities has also helped me build confidence and community.

Current Student

As a transfer student at Pace University from Minnesota, there are a lot of cultural shocks that I have experienced at my time so far. Even in the midst of massive change, I have felt incredibly comfortable at Pace. The social life can be hard to navigate especially as a transfer student, but the inclusiveness of student-run clubs at Pace has made it incredibly easy to settle in.

Current Student

My overall experience with Pace University has been both inspiring and transformative. The university offers a vibrant learning environment that encourages growth, creativity, and independence. I’ve also appreciated the diversity on campus; it’s a place where you meet people from all over the world, each bringing their own perspective and culture, which makes discussions and collaborations more enriching.

Current Student

Love the campus, the city is the campus! So far everything is good. Would love more food variety for dinning hall.

Current Student

I am now involved in 4 clubs, and have made so many friends in just one month of living here. The dorms are excellent, especially compared to other schools in the area. The dining hall process is unique, accessible and delicious. It is not like traditional college dining experiences and really is a big pro of Pace.
