Student Life

The P.A.C.E. residence staff is a diverse team including graduate students, international interns, and a residence manager. Two additional full-time faculty members provide an activity curriculum and problem-solving and counseling support.

Each P.A.C.E. student has the opportunity to experience on-campus living in a college setting. They spend time in the local community, as well as take advantage of the many cultural and social activities that can be found in the City of Chicago. P.A.C.E. students have access to all NLU facilities, including the library, art studio and computer labs—and they can also work out at the large fitness facility near the campus. They learn to use public transportation, from city busses to the elevated trains, to get them where they want to go—whether it is to work or to meet friends at the movies.
