What Students Are Saying
Pace University - Westchester Campus is a small campus. Its warm and welcoming environment will make you feel right at home. The clubs and many organizations at Pace University will provide life long experiences you will never forget.
Bryan from Mount Vernon, NY
Relatively small compared to other universities but I have never seen a campus with such student involvement. Pace gives its students say in what they want to see changed, what they'd like to see integrated, and just things that will keep students interested. Commuter life is also very active within the campus making it difficult to actually point out which of our students are commuters since everyone is so involved. Staff and faculty are very willing to lend a helping head whether it be academic wise or on-campus activities!
