If you are a prospective student considering York College of Pennsylvania, I would strongly advise against attending.
The institution is notably expensive, and many professors exhibit a lack of effective communication and collaboration with their students, particularly regarding coursework and academic support. Furthermore, the financial aid department operates at an unacceptably slow pace, creating additional challenges for students seeking timely assistance.
In my personal experience, I encountered an incident involving Professor Shontae Graham, who obstructed my access to the restroom for an urgent matter, even though the class had ended at 4:45 PM. When I attempted to address this issue through the appropriate school resources, I found their response to be as inefficient and slow as the financial aid department’s handling of other concerns.
I strongly recommend thoroughly researching alternative institutions in your area before committing to York College of Pennsylvania. Other colleges may provide a more supportive environment and better overall value for...
Read moreIf you're looking for an adjunct professor education, this is your school!! I don't think they employ real professors, and the advisors are overworked and frankly useless. Spend your money elsewhere.. We learned the hard way.. Also, make sure you get receipts for EVERYTHING!!! The business office is not the best at record keeping. You can also expect to get parking tickets on a regular basis. The campus is not the safest; there have been several attacks at gunpoint recently. We were so happy at first, but the school has gone downhill.. There is a mass exodus of capable staff, and one has to question why??? UPDATE - During the last snow storm my son had to go to work. He walked out to his car to find the plowers plowing him in. He kindly asked if they could plow the snow beyond his car as he had to go to work. The workmen answered "no" and my son had to dig himself out with his bare hands while the plowers kept plowing. Folks, think twice about sending your loved ones to the school. Everything this school represents is meanspirited...
Read moreI graduated in 2004 and I absolutely LOVED York! I loved the size of the classes and personalized attention you recieved from the professors (I was even tutored by one personally!) the professors really take their time to guide you and to make sure that you are understanding the lessons. The tuition was affordable especially for a private college!!
The social life was awesome too. Tons of fun frats & bars to go to. The parties were always so fun and the drinks were always super cheap!
I lived on Jessop Place, which wasn't the safest street. But to be honest, if you want to live off campus, you are taking a risk. Living on campus is great but when I was there, it was a dry campus, so I opted to live off campus my Junior & Senior year. The house I lived in was robbed once (we left the door unlocked, which wasn't very smart) but other than that I didn't have any issues with my house.
All in all, I would say York was a great experience, and you better believe that I will be highly recommending my children go to my...
