Pace university is good but the tuition fee is high.
Tips: Definetly there is a cultural change. There are different country students we have in our class so we face different cultures. We can avail scholarships of $2500 - $3000 per semester if you secure 65 in Bachelors. I am not satisfied with the university because the tuition fee is higher.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good. Many students stay in Jersey City. If you catch the metro you will reach within 20 mins to World Trade Center. From World Trade Center the campus is 5 minute walking distance. In terms of affordability it just you have to send $100 pass per month.
Dislikes (Part time work): No part times are available off campus. We do have on campus jobs but we have 1 percentage chance on campus. You can work every week 30-40 hrs, remaining time you spend on your academics such that it is easy for you to get a job in the job market. It starts from 7$ - 15 $ depending.

Supportive and resourceful place for your career.
Tips: Outside the university, a cultural shift would be evident, but inside the campus, it doesn't hit that hard, because there are lots of Indians in the university and in the classes. I have received a scholarship of 4600 USD per year. Early applicants usually receive scholarships for up to 6000 USD per year. The earlier you apply, the more you stand a chance to receive a scholarship. I would say the university, course and country are a decent experience. Irrespective of where we are, what matters is how much we work on our skill development, which will eventually land us a job, not just a graduation Certificate from a University. And for such hard workers, our university definitely is very supportive and resourceful, providing ample career fairs, connections and opportunities.
Likes (Indian Food): There are quite a few Indian restaurants in and around New York and the adjacent New Jersey, and the pricing also is reasonable (5-20 dollars). New Jersey especially Jersey City, which is 15 min away from Manhattan ( where the college is), has everything Indian that you would want, from groceries to food and pantry. New York too, has a reasonable amount of places offering Indian cuisine or something closer to it. I however prefer cooking at home, and occasionally eating outside.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not have a huge campus, and it's mostly residential, there are very few on-campus jobs, and those too are available for students, and reserved for specific departments or professionals or undergraduates, and the remaining few on-campus jobs have tough competition, with a priority for the ones coming with a referral.

I am happy with my decision, the place is worth it.
Tips: I live in India square which is the same as India. Restaurants, temple, food groceries everything resembles India. I am pretty much satisfied with my university and I enjoy being here every second and a good place to make friends. I did not get any scholarship.
Likes (Public transportation): You are in NYC you can find transport from anywhere to everywhere. Bus, subways, path to New Jersey, local cabs, City bike to rent at affordable prices. Name the transport and you can find it here. No need to buy anything like car or scooter over here.
Dislikes (Part time work): Competition for part time is huge and one needs to work very hard. I am currently working on campus. NYC campus is a small campus which means less number of on-campus jobs compared to sub-urban areas. There are few but the competition is very high. The average payout will be 15$ per hour.

NYC campus is very cool. It’s a must university if you plan to study abroad.
Tips: Yes it has a lot of impact on me mentally and cultural wise. Im very positive these days with my experience here. No, I haven't got any scholarship Overall, I'm satisfied with the university. I wanted to pursue Masters in CS and I got it. This is a very beautiful country.
Likes (Value for money): Pace conducts a lot of workshops which are internship oriented and job oriented. As, it is located in any it has its advantage regarding opportunities. Also, we could find our Indian community here which is helpful. Overall it's worth it I say with all the activities they conduct for every thing.
Dislikes (Part time work): On- campus jobs are not easy to get in NYC campus as there are so many indian students. But, still I have seen many Indian students working. I think It could be manageable if you already have experience in the relevant field which you are studying or else you have to invest some more time to upskill yourself which could be hard sometimes Average on campus is 20, off campus is 11 .

Pace is nicknamed as Raftaar university and it’s not worth giving a shot.
Tips: There was a bit of cultural shock. There was a huge change and cultural difference but it was a good transition for me. I didn't get any scholarship although you can get it easily by applying. I am not that satisfied with the university, the course was extremely good, and the country is okay but it could be better.
Likes (Student Life): The best part is the student engagement centre. Every kind of event is happening. Students from undergrad often do or conduct some events every now and then. We can actually enjoy and learn more about the events without even having a second thought to participate.
Dislikes (Value for money): No. It's not value for money as it's really more expensive than other colleges. It shouldn't be the case where the faculty and other factors are making the college not value for money. I would have taken the factors easily however it dominates over every other aspect.
