"The career / internships opportunities are amazing. Finding a job is not a problem when the campus is located within the heart of the financial district of New York City. Safety is also not an issue when NYPD headquarters is located across the street. New York City itself has a very diverse culture. All different types of races and nationalities. This helps the campus stay very diverse. Traveling is not an issue around the campus; however parking is. Leave your car at home. Majority of the students don't drive. There is no need for it when the city has a subway system and taxi services. Tuition is pricey, as well as the city itself."

"Pace University provides an in depth learning community. The professors really give you a hands on learning experience and truly want you to succeed. They will go above and beyond what is required of them to help you learn and understand what they are teaching. Plus having the campus in New York city is a big plus for finding internships and work study programs."

"Pace offers a variety of interesting classes - there are classes for all interests. Most degree programs allow room to take lots of classes not related to your field, as well as many options within your field. However, if you are not receiving quality financial aid, the benefits are not worth the loan repayment. You also must stay on top of the OSA office, as they will let you fall through the cracks. Professor quality ranges - as some professors are amazing while others shouldn't have a job. Get a great adviser and you should go through your collegiate career smoothly. Having a bad one can cause issues in your senior year - big ones."

"I have always being a strong believer in pursuit of knowledge and that has driven me to enroll in graduate program. Although,graduate program has its cons but the pros can't be ignored as well.Enrolling for graduate program all depends on individual career goals especially for those aiming at career change or wishing to get involved with the managerial and business side of an industry would definitely require MBA but it can also be stated that engineers and scientists could learn just as much about technique and management from being on field than they could in the classroom. Graduate program helps individual to contribute to different areas of the industry. For example, a manufacturing industry, an individual with a MBA would be able to get involved in marketing/sales, operations and supply chain. It also give room for networking and sharing ideas with other people. Enrolling for graduate program can also increase confidence because most graduate program classes involve stimulating class participation and also encourages practical thinking and opens the eye to see the bigger picture and think in various perspective.It leads to innovation, new ideas and the freedom of self employment. Graduate program also has a downside, many people think graduate program is a waste of time and money because individual could easily get the knowledge he/she requires stay in job instead of four walls of classroom. Graduate school should be for people that's intellectually advanced rather than something pragmatic like class discussions. Unfortunately, most graduates see graduate school as an opportunity to defer dealing with tough employment market, hoping that their time well spent in class will coincide with an improved economy. In conclusion, even though graduate school has its pros and cons but i strongly believe it's an experience every graduate should have because although individual might have the required experience on field but pragmatic thinking,analysis and sharing of ideas within the four walls of graduate school can't be under-emphasized. Probably that's why some companies still pay for their employee's graduate school fee."

"This particular MFA program is very rigorous and places a great amount of pressure on the shoulders of the students. The workload, at times, seems quite overwhelming, but the very nature of the career field that all hope to enter is one of sacrifice, persistence, and absolute grit. A definite sense of community is present throughout the cohort and with the faculty, whose aim is to pass on both artistic and professional lessons so that the students will be amply prepared for the tough road that lies ahead. On the whole, the program is designed to hone the talent that is already in place, though more can probably be done to ensure that outgoing students have at least a real foot in the door rather than a reputation to carry."

"The MBA program at Pace University is unique due to its location and access to many financial institutions in the area. This makes it easier to obtain an internship in the area and it makes for great networking. However, commuting could take a while depending on where you live but there are many different trains and buses that run to the school. The professors are also pretty good and quite knowledgeable with great experience in their respective fields."
