Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

this is a noble institution that provide students with excellent educational, social and moral opportunities to help them to become better citizens in our society. york is a home away from home for many international students and they are known for their friendly atmosphere and great teaching.
janell from Jamaica, NY
The professors are really helpful and do anything within their means to help you pass the class
Kayla from Valley Stream, NY
the professors i had so far at York college are very nice and they work hard to ensure that each of their students understand the topics they are discussing in class. They will help you if you have any questions after class in their office and are willing to help you to the best of your abilities to help improve your grade in that course by going over topics discussed in class. They are always willing to help you with reports for class and give you the chance to go to their office and study for the final exams by appointment.
khursheda from Brooklyn, NY
Three words: affordable, convenient, and over-crowded.
The only reason I came to York College because the transportation was convenient. Other than that, most of the people there are nice. It has any major.
Smile from Astoria, NY
CUNY York College is great school to apply to if you want the feeling that you're getting your tuition's worth. The professor's are accurate in their teachings and are understandable. Overall it is great to wake up in the morning knowing you are attending classes at York College.
Winnie from Elmont, NY
A large diverse population of students and professors from all walks of life and areas of the world. They are clubs and organizations that help people build life-long friendships. The faculty are actually more helpful than I expected, and keep their cool with stressed college students.
