Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Nursing  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Coming from Syracuse University to pursue a second degree, the school is a clusterfuck. The administration is nasty and disorganized and the professors are the most untalented people I have ever met. Do you need a tutor to help you in a certain 300 level calc class for example? Well, forget it, they only tutor if you are in a few select easy 101 courses. Learning Disabled? Don't count on getting reasonable accommodations that actually help. Would you like your loan refund so you can pay the rent? You'll be waiting a month unless you get on financial aids ass every other day. Thanks Pace. You are the most underwhelming, mediocre institution ever. If it wasn't for your nursing program being 9th in the country, I would never go, and neither should you Surrounding City: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

Pace gave me way more money than the other schools that I applied to, so it made the most sense for me to pursue my undergraduate degree here. I have known from the start that college is what you make it, and I have kept that in mind since I arrived here. What I have found is that Pace students, faculty and facilities are all lacking in one way or another. Students are dissinterested in learning, look for any reason to skip class, and basically are going to this school to get a degree, not to actually get an education. Students are also incredibly pretentious, clique-y and all too concerned with what they're going to wear to Hooks and Ladders (a super seedy bar that doesn't ID, teeming with creepy old men. low standards, here.) Professors are knowledgeable, but sometimes unhelpful. Many do not have offices, and therefore do not have office hours. Recently, the director of the Language Lab quit, and instead of replacing them, Pace simply shut the Language Lab down altogether. Pace boasts 'top notch' security, and claims to offer an escort service between all of the dorms and the school. "All you have to do," they say, "is call security and ask for an escort to come." However, each time I have called, I have been told that I am "calling the wrong person", and I have been left to walk home in the dark, alone. The food is beyond terrible. There is never any variety offered. Although the main cafeteria is open late, after about 8pm all of the food is gone and nothing new is brought out. I have found that security in my dorm is terrible. There are constantly random people coming in and out for no apparent reason. A few days ago I watched the woman who works in the locksmith shop next door go into the building and come out a few minutes later. What could she possibly need to do in my dorm? Security is too lax, and often leave their posts. I once found a security guard playing a game of pool with a student in the lounge. For the price that this school charges, the quality of the education should be brought up a notch. I'm transferring asap. Friendliness: B, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

When you hear the name you think "oh thats a decent school" which is a good thing. But the reality is much different. This school is filled with red tape that makes it near impossible to function as a student. Ive had some good teachers here so far and ones that have no idea which way is up or where they are. Its not really hard but the school itself is a mess which stresses you out. come here if you want a decent named school that wont make you want to kill yourself but will give you an ulcer.

They lose tuition payments, randomly drop you from courses at the last minute for no apparent reason, phone calls are never returned, no one knows which department handles what, staff is comprised mostly of student work/study aid recipients who are clueless and unhelpful (and who probably create most of the messes you'll spend DAYS trying to straighten out -- many don't even speak English all that well), and there is a blatant attempt to manipulate students into needed extra semesters to graduate.
