Hey dude,
There's no magic answer here: Pace is better than Hofstra. Or Hofstra is better than Pace. There are many differences, and you need to choose what suits you. Pace is a bit better located... closer to NY, Hofstra is out in the quiet suburbs (you will have to have a car) and good for families. Ranking-wise,t hey shouldn't make too much of a difference, so you should really choose according to which one has the academics and lifestyle which suit you and your goals.
