Friends, Right now we're in New Jersey
A place called Journal square
which is directly linked train
from New York to New Jersey around 20 min distance
and most Indian students prefer to live here
Right now, I am studying in Pace university
in financial advice
Oh very nice
For example, If you any Hindu Temple
If you go to any sikh temple also
There you will see ads
who prefer their own community roommates
So you can find roommates there
And rent is very affordable here
So, From Jersey city
Say if you take a cup of coffee from Jersey city
as compared to New York city
It'll be one dollar
Almost one dollar cheaper in Jersey city
because of less taxes
So when he comes from Jersey city
It is more affordable to get starbucks from there
Exactly
Amnd rent is also very affordable in Jersey city
How much is your rent because
All the students I have talked to
The minimum rent in New york city they pay
when they are studying here is minimum $1000
But how about you How much you pay?
We pay around $1287.5
Wow
I used to pay $400 in Athlanta
I thought its impossible
yeah
In sharing
Brilliant
We're close to NYC
but in a different city
And if you'll buy apartment anywhere in New York
whether you get in Brooklyn or Manhattan
It cannot be less than $1000
Hands down but
By living in Jersey city Thats the big benefit you get
So this is the New Building of Pace University
So now here at Pace University
Yash is going to share a story
about a building collapse right behind us
So, What exactly happened
So one fine day, I was sitting in my lab
We were 2-3 people sitting in the lab
We felt earthquake like motions
in our building
So we were like Its an earthquake
So we just ran downstairs
Then we just saw
After a minute or two
After like 10-15 sec
We realized that its not an earthquake
It felt like an earthquake at first
It was just rumbling in the building
So we saw outside from that
window
We felt that its nothing in our building
It was from another building right by our side
we share a wall with that building
So, After few moments
We figured it out
that something happened in the alongside building
So we just ran down
We came here
where we are standing right now
Like the whole building Its structures were falling
So the building partially collapsed
We didn't know up there but
People who were in the dorms
who can see the upper angle
They got to know that cars collapsed
Fighting with each other to survive
Some people were already in the cars
A person who was thrown out of that building
oh my gosh
There was some burst inside the car
or in the structure
They're not sure
I haven't read the entire report
But at that moment it felt like blast in that building
So you ran
You ran out?
We just ran outside
But after 10-15 seconds breakout
Its not something with out building
So we just went in to collect our stuff and run downstairs
And we saw the entire building collapsing
and
Our building was closed off
Till this moment, We cannot go into that building
without any emergency
This building?
Yes, this building
You can't go into your building
We cannot go in
Oh my god
But this is partially collapsed right?
It is connected with it
The thing is that
We shared a wall with the structure
Now that our building was declared healthy
But then like
Givernment or the New York authority
declared that our building is safe now
Safe now
Safe and fit
But the thing was
as we shared the wall
They needed to fix some things inside that wall
and that cause noise
So
for like
2-3 weeks, We couldn't go inside the building
for any of the work
A student cannot go in for any of the activities
This is insane
So here at Pace University with darsh
So you're doing data science
So your university is very famous for finance
marketing, Mba
Finance
So how it is for Data science
You can like you
You have masters of one year, Right
Two years
Two years actually
Oh
30 credits
I have completed in one and half year in fourth semester
If you take one subject in either of the semester
Majorly people complete it in two years
And during time of recession
No one wants to graduate early
They will be graduate in their mean time
around same time
yes that is true
And how is the fees structure
because most private universities are so expensive
Pace is private
So how it does work
Pace University is one of the cheapest private university in the US
As you are aware of Public and private institution fees
Public university fee ranges from 20k to 50k
and private wil start from 50-60k
and go upto any name you can imagine
And Pace university's fee is around 50-55k depending upon the major
So in my case, I pay around 1480$ per credits
which sums to 52k at the end of 4th semester
Okay
$52k for four years is not bad at all
That is really good honestly
That is exceptional
and because many students
pay $50k for one year also
Some universities like in NYU, They pay $80k per year
and his housing is affordable
And at the same time, Here the best part is
You're so close to the train connecting to New Jersey
So it feels like you're taking a train to New York
But you're actually going straight to Jersey
Its very convienient
yeah
Majorly the benefit that we get is
Being in NYC where there are many
company's headquarter or offices
So Google, Meta have their major offices here
So all the activities they're doing over here
If I am going to learn
Lets say I am learning generating
So
You'll see 2-3 conferences and meetups every week
The data meetup. So
Networking
The benefit of being in NYC
Metropolitan city network is there
is really amazing
Absolutely
That is amazing
And here I noticed
no windows are open
The only fear here is of students
They don't take any bad step
So all the buildings here do not have balcony or
Many building do not even have
like in financial district
Any ability to open the window either
Even opening window is difficult
And the biggest benefit of studying in Pace university is
That you're in the financial district
This is the headquarter for any top finance company
like
JP Morgan
I don't know if JP Morgan is in like
this part of New York
But it is in New York
Every company has head uarters in New York
being in financial district
You have more oppurtunities to network with finance people
But according to Darsh
If you want networking oppurtunities of Data science
That is hands down more here
First is
like Silicon valley
then second is New York
And I genuinely enjoyed my time at Pace university
I felt that if a student wants to have experience of New York city
which is really expensive
on a budget it is only possible at Pace
Like other universities
like NYU are really expensive
$80k
Rest decision is yours
And this video was not sponsored at all
Thankyou so much for watching
Thankyou to Darsh for spending the day with me
