The Hudson Valley Post has reported that Pace University is among the nearly 50 colleges in New York (and among only 15 percent of US colleges that made the national list) highlighted in the 2025 "Best College" rankings by The Princeton Review, "one of the nation’s leading education services companies."

Unlike other rankings that are based on academics, institutional data, or college administrators' opinions, The Princeton Review's rankings are based on opinions from actual students, who complete an 89-question survey about their school. Categories to rate include professors, administrators, financial aid, campus amenities, school services, and other aspects of life at their respective colleges.
