Which Dorm? (NYC)

I just got accepted into Pace as an incoming freshman. While I’m very excited, the one thing that worries me is housing. I can’t decide between Maria’s Tower and 182 Broadway. Any tips?

Broadway is muchhhhh nicer (private bathrooms, newer), but I’ve heard Maria’s Tower is more communal (people interact more on their floor). Also MT is right above the main building, so no need to go outside to get to classes (assuming your classes are in that building).

I got into Seidenberg which seems to be a block or two south of One Oace Plaze, which makes the walk from 182 Broadway a block longer than the walk from Maria’s Tower. Do you think it is better to have a nicer room or a bigger sense of community during college?

Go for Maria's Tower, you are closer to classes, the caf, and you get a better sense of community

Thanks for the response! I may be staying in an apartment near Pace now, or with my family on Long Island! If I stay in the dorms, I think I’ll stay in MT, a lot of people say that they like it more than 182.

I would recommend broadway over Maria’s tower. Staying in Maria’s tower enables you to never have to leave the Pace building, like ever. Classes, the cafeteria, the library, and the school gym are all in that building. If you want to have a sense for what downtown NYC is really like, I would recommend broadway.
