Pace University - New York

What Pace University lacks in physical beauty and sports, it makes up for in it's ability to cater to every student's needs. Paperwork concerning financial aid and registration was often misplaced, or un-accounted for, which was a bad sign, but since beginning classes, everything has been on target. When at the school, it is impossible to complain that there is nothing to do. There is something going on every night of the week, and the events aren't even all corny. New York City is the campus, and unlike NYU, Columbia, and Fordham, Pace is in the best spot in Manhattan for a school. Being downtown, right next to the Financial District, Battery Park, City Hall, South Street Seaport, the Brooklyn Bridge, and so much more, you get the whole New York experience. However, the neighborhood cools down during the night, and on weekends, which is perfect when you need to just slow down.

I honestly had reservations on going to Pace for four years. It was my dream to go to NYU, but as I see now, I made the right choice. I have friends that go to NYU, and while I'm not putting them or their school down, I have to say that Pace University's personability, relaxed style, intimate student body, and non-egotistical and non-arrogant attitude is clearly unparalelled in any other New York City University.I recommend attending Pace University wholeheartedly.
