It's Break Time!

Whether a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior, every student can agree on one thing- they’re ready for a break.

Starting this Wednesday, Pace University is officially on it’s annual Thanksgiving Break, with no classes being held from then until Monday. While many students go home or take vacations during this break, some stay on campus. Luckily, for Pace students there is no charge to do this, and the residence halls are open during this time.

“I’m going home for break, but I’m glad I have the option to stay on campus if I had to. Some of my friends at other schools have to pay $80 a night if they want to stay over break, which is crazy, so I’m glad we don’t have to.” said one freshman.

While the residence halls are open over break, many normal services are unavailable during this time. After its normal closing time of 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the campus Starbucks will be closed for the break. Similarly, the Pace Perk Cafe will be closed starting on Wednesday, and will reopen on Sunday.

For those looking to stay over break, they will also not be able to use the library during some parts of the break. Mortola Library will be closed from Wednesday to Friday, reopening at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Students staying on campus will also have to use their own form of transportation (if they don’t already have any), because the shuttle services will not run from Wednesday through Saturday.
