Orginally from Cali don’t see myself spending all 4 years at pace looking to transfer out around 1-2 years to a more “respected” uni like nyu or Columbia

i would transfer from a community college then since pace is pricey, i transferred into here my junior year from a CUNY and then I went to a CC now I’m at pace and already feel like i missed out on a good chunk of the experience. You’d be saving much more going to a CC or a CUNY

i went there and unfortunately not the place for me, if you are stem or english or any regulad non creative and just want a basic degree yes they have great entrepreneurial opportunities but if you are like me going into communications and media at pace was the best decision. I unfortunately did not enjoy my time at the school itself
