Graduate Housing

Hello Graduate Students!

We are excited to announce that Pace University has extended our partnership with Extended Stay America, to house our Graduate Students at their location at 118 West Main Street in Elmsford, New York 10523.

Our hope is that graduate students will find this to be a community that will allow for building friendships, memories and a connection to one another, while living independently.  We are excited that graduate students will be able to enjoy the accommodations that this living environment provides.  Along with the community of Pace students that can be found here, you will also have the chance to interact with other residents attending colleges and universities in the surrounding area who are calling the Extended Stay home.

Extended Stay America Amenities.

Extended Stay America offers spacious, single rooms. Every room has its own fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and is furnished with a bed, a large dresser, a table/desk with two chairs, a nightstand, closet, several lamps and a TV.  In addition to your personal belongings, you may bring small portables such as a collapsible bookshelf and plastic crates to store other items. However, storage space is somewhat limited, so please bring only what you need.  Extended Stay’s housekeeping staff cleans rooms once a week and provides bath towels and bed linens.  Each room is equipped with a telephone for front desk, room-to-room and 911 calling.  Amenities include a small exercise room and an on-site laundry room.  The hotel is located close to the entrance of major highways. 

Students with cars can park for free in the hotel’s large, well-lit parking area.  Access to the Pace email system and Internet is available through a free wireless network maintained by Extended Stay America.  The cost of this space will be $7,410 per semester; however, you will not have to move out over the Winter Break.  Payments will be made through Pace University and the Office of Student Assistance.  You will be able to track your bill using your Pace Portal and the Financial Aid Office is willing to work with you about awards as they will be able to see your housing assignment on your account. 

Extended Stay America is located approximately 6.2 miles from the main campus.  It takes approximately 10 minutes to reach campus.  The best route to campus is along the Saw Mill River Parkway north or directly up route 9A to Route 117.  We have a very limited transportation schedule between Extended Stay and campus.  For those residents without a car, there is public transportation between Extended Stay America and the Pleasantville Campus.  Graduate Students will be able to take a bus line located near the Extended Stay to campus.
