Yes, I said "was". My parents, relatives and friends could not agree more with my departure from that rat hole. It all begun with me being a business major and wanting to go to NYC for a good college with a large internship program. So I transferred from the community college I attended to Pace Uni. Once I got to Pace as a student I experienced and saw unbelievable treatment from the facility and students. I should call this treatment "harassment". Students would slam the door in my face pretty often and the staff members were the same. The professors did not like anyone who they thought came from any decent background.They did everything they could to try and make the student fail. So if you're trying to improve yourself DON'T GO HERE. They will hate you with a passion for have any value system in your life. I found out after being at the school awhile, most of people there were functioning drunks and druggies and that is the only thing that is accepted at Pace University. I saw first hand the mismanagement of the roommate evaluation forms. As an effect of that, I was stuck in the room with 2 drunks. They came in drunk 9 out of 10 times. We had nothing in common; honestly, Why was I in the room with them? Everyone else complained about their roommates also except the 2nd floor (under that was the lobby. Basically, they got tired of places compatible roommates together after the first floor of students. And I am security had sex with the students, since they were always flirted with each other in an ill-mannered way. One word of advice; VISIT THE SCHOOL BEFORE YOU GO! And parents you'll understand why I said "NEVER EVER SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO THE UNIVERSITY".

I could have gone to any number of wonderful colleges with selective admissions and reputable academic programs. I chose Pace for one reason and one reason alone: it was in New York City. I was very disillusioned and thought that I could be happy anywhere in New York City, as long as I was surrounded by the life of the metropolis. I visited Pace and was very underwhelmed, but I put a deposit down because I had a lifelong dream to move to New York and I had an opportunity to make it happen.

Long story short: I dropped out part-way through my first semester. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I value my education too much to spend any extended amount of time at an institution like Pace. The staff is condescending and the coursework is STUPID easy. The dorms are decent, but the dining plan is over-priced and inefficient. You are literally nothing more than an ID number. They'll threaten you with fines all the time for not showing up to things like freshman meetings and convocation, but things are so disorganized that there is literally no way for them to know who goes and who stays back at the dorms. Pace wants one thing and one thing only -- money. They do not care about the quality of education you receive or how you feel about the way they run things. As long as you hand over your $54,000 yearly, you are irrelevant to them.

If you absolutely must go to Pace, you should know that you will be in a safe area of the city (literally nothing happens after 6pm so it's super quiet). You should also know that you will be surrounded by a bunch of really cool people; some of whom probably wanted to go to NYU but couldn't afford it. Others had their hearts set on Pace. But I will tell you this: every single friend I made at Pace transferred out at the end of their first semester. No one wants to be there if they can help it. There are thousands of colleges that will offer you infinitely more than Pace can.

If you have a choice to go somewhere other than Pace, do it. You do not want to get sucked into this awful, silly place. They'll try to lure you in with the enchanting proximity to everything in NYC, but don't fall for it. If you want four years of useless courses, unqualified professors, and dealing with the most unhelpful, rude extended staff, head on over to Pace. But if you want a college education with intelligent classmates and helpful staff, go just about ANYWHERE else.
