Student services

Living on campus is a big deal at York College. In fact, if you aren’t a commuter, we require it. Why?

We offer modern living with apartments, houses, and suites for upperclassmen, as well as traditional college halls. On-campus, you’re never too far away from food, class, the fitness center and more.
