The staff is very open minded, and willing to help in anyway they can. I have never felt more comfortable in a class setting than I do at York. The campus overall is just beautiful: the scenery and the fountain in the middle of the campus really adds on to its beauty
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Join a lot of clubs, you don't even need to go to all the meetings to feel involved. Go to as many sporting events as you can because that's where you can feel all of the school spirit. Don't be afraid to go to the writing center or to get tutoring, studying comes hard to many students and the staff are really helpful and give good techniques to study
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors are always giving out good lessons. The lessons although sometimes could be dull are still very interesting to learn about. Every class I went to I never dreaded going to, the professors are so lively and try to make learning fun. They are available and willing to help. Class sizes are small , so your really get to know the professor.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Honestly, the dorms are pretty nice. I live in Manor North which is mainly a freshman dorm. Everyone is super friendly and I am friends with most of the girls on my floor. The rooms are nice and clean and pretty big, at least that's what I think. In the summer it does get a little hot in the dorms, but once a couple weeks pass, the weather starts getting cooler, and the rooms are perfect temperature. The RA's are so nice and so friendly.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Johnson dining hall does have a lot of options to choose from. They always have pizza and fries and burgers/hot dogs. The dining hall is mainly clean and the staff are so nice and welcoming. The West Campus dining hall is not as noisy and has less choices of food, but it has a bigger salad selection. Besides the 2 main dining halls, there are other food venues that are very popular.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are so many activities to do on campus. Every weekend they have different trips and different evening activities including: open mic nights, comedians, movies, and sporting events. There is no reason to bored or to go home on weekends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This is a private school but priced more like public college. Great value!
