Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

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!
