Any insights on Pace University in NY?

Well im planning on going to a university in manhattan, and it seems Pace University is the most appealing option. I have no intentions on going to NYU or Colombia, that shits just too hard and too much work. I intend on majoring in business, and staying in NY, NY.

Anyone here have any experiences with Pace? Are there any other universities I should be interested in? thanks guys

It's people like you that just make me shake my head. People with such lack of motivation should not be able to own nice things, IMO. Most people have to work for what they have/get.

Why don't you just go to a community college if you are going to go to an easy college AND major in business? It would save you on money and get you about the same place.

^ What he said. Pace is not worth the money. I'll tell you that much. There's much better colleges here for business than Pace.

I know a lot of people that go there, it seems to be a good school. Is there anything you want to know about the school specifically?

Baruch is better than Pace for business (I think), but if you are going to be just another unmotivated waste of space in a university don't bother coming this way. We have plenty of those as it is.

By the way, I'm guessing you don't have much experience with college, because there is not a single, half-decent 4 year university in the U.S. that isn't a TON of work. They will all kick your ass, granted you don't take fluff courses.

one of my good friends plays lacrosse at pace. i dont think the work is too demanding because this kid is not very smart and he didnt flunk out.

i will say that like 2 people got stabbed or shot last year so the campus could be kinda dangerous.

and trust me you can handle the work at a much better school. almost all state schools are pretty easy with work. its just when you get into the top 20 schools in the country that its challenging. and even some of those arent too bad

Business is one of those majors that IMO is not worth getting a degree in from a not-so-good institution. If you think you won't cut it in a good school, don't waste your time and money and do something else instead.

+1. i know people at state schools and similar schools who are majoring in business and cant even grt an interview right now. and a lot of these guys have good gpa's and everything too.

but if you go to a good school then your gonna get the interviews and get an actual job that you can turn into a career. not just a degree

Colombia is not in New York. Check your atlas.

no offense but you guys don't know what your talking about. Rutgers is a top business school and its a state school and is hard as hell to get in. There are plenty of good schools that aren't ivy league, most school have programs where companies come to hire kids from that school, so the people you know must be lazy, because i think all schools have this program.
