York College — Local services in New York

This is literally the worst CUNY college there is. I only lasted for one semester; from the very beginning York showed how horrible it was. From enrollment, York's healthy administration was rude, pompous and miserable people. They would have attitudes when I tried to turn in the health report from my doctor, I just gave up turning it in. The area is horrible and there are creepy students attending the college; I have never before heard of so many arrests happening in one place before. York was the first.

Their professors are horrible too. My English professor taught us more history than English and I've never felt more unprepared for a test in my life. My Philosophy professor is a hypocrite and, like my English professor is a bully. He claims that it's all right if the students don't understand the material, but it isn't. He is more concerned with forcing us to understand something majority don't, than making sure we learn.

My French professor is also horrible. She is disorganized in her teaching, too fast to keep up with and just unclear. She disrespects the students by telling us we should kill ourselves over a bad quiz grade. She never made sure the students really understood the lessons either, she just taught us because she was paid to do it. She could belittle the class every time she had us; twice a week for an hour. The rest of the semester of her classes were just trash because she wanted to hold a grudge and, literally, make our lives worse than it already was. She has no remorse for other classes the student is taking; she believes her class is a priority and should be treated as so; IT IS NOT.

York has made college the worse experience for me so far. I truly detest most of their faculty and administration. I only enjoyed my Psychology, Geology and Humanities classes and the Public Safety administration. My professors for those classes and Public Safety really got me through the semester and showed me the very little hope there is left for York.

PLEASE, DO NOT COME TO THIS COLLEGE! IT IS SEXIST, RACIST, THE CAMPUS IS DISGUSTING, SOME PROFESSORS ARE HORRIBLE AT THEIR JOB, THE CLASSES ARE NONSENSE OR TOO DIFFCULT!! PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS OR TRANSFER OUT ASAP, DO NOT REMAIN IN THIS COLLEGE!

I thought the negative reviews were too harsh, THEY ARE NOT! I truly believed that I would have a better experienced than what was described for me, BUT THEY ARE TRUE! THEY ARE HONEST! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...

This college is dangerous for your mental development and educational experience as a college student. If you are a serious person or sensitive individual, and you have standards, avoid this place at all costs. Do not come here. Here is why. This college consists of immature students who most likely come from the ghetto, it is a bad area overall. Constant noise everywhere, people eating in the library. Everywhere you go in the library, there is noise coming from stupid students who still think they're in high school. You will find people eating, blasting music through their headphones, people talking, sounds left and right in their main library area. Also, the lectures are a joke. As a previous reviewer mentioned, expect to be looking at videos and powerpoints, which is not a bad thing if you value a more "easier" approach to your college education, but that is mostly what you will be observing here. Students have an attitude problem during the lectures. There will be an amount of students acting up in every lecture, where they will talk the entire 2-3 hours as the professor is trying to teach or explain the damn lesson. There will be students banging and making noise in the classrooms, and if the door of the classroom is open, other professors are speaking loudly enough for you to hear them from the other door. Students joking and laughing, making a lot of noise if the doors of the classroom are opened. What a joke this college is. People who should be pulling their weight aren't. People who are in a position to change this madness are sleeping on this. You have been warned. Do not attend this college, if you do, you are at risk of mental trauma and a bad college experience where you will not be prepared for graduate school and other serious endeavors in your life. Students are also cheating their way through the courses, and the professors do not care. Find a different college, find a college that has a good foundation, visit the area. This is not it folks, you can find better for yourself. Run away from this place. Run away. For your life. Before it...

Went here for a year, got accepted to Lehman and I'm going to start there for Fall 2019. This college is the bare minimum of what I believe is acceptable for a college. The hallways are dim and ugly, the windows are Brown and yellow from age, and the bathrooms smell excruciatingly disgusting. The Library also had a short outbreak of bed bugs so that's another thing to note. Although the experience of being there wasnt top notch, I had some decent and very lenient professors who helped me pass their classes. The school is very open to the public which I think is great, I love seeing tables in the "atrium" full of people that are trying to promote things within the school or promote something that can be essential to a student's future. Also, back to the undesirable traits about the school, there is always staff on clean up duty to make sure the school is clean, but the school manages to keep the bathrooms in disgusting shape. The students in this school are disgusting and don't treat the school as they would their own home. There has been more than a handful of times where I have walked out of a bathroom because of Putrid smell. This specifically is about the womens bathroom. The school is in dire need of a reup and better discipline with students that trash the bathroom. Otherwise, this school is not the best college to attend in NYC, but can manage you until you feel comfortable with transferring out, as I did. If you're an incoming student, dont worry about the teachers, they're very chill and laid back in my opinion. I've only had one teacher that was very strict for Psychology, every other teacher was calm and collected. Also, one LAST thing, is that be VERY careful with deadlines in this school!! ALL my classes were dropped because I needed to hand in tax returns and now I have to pay for an extra summer class in order to satisfy my...
