Your Home Away from Home

York College offers two residence halls and two on-campus apartment complexes. York College is a fully residential campus because of YC's strong belief in the benefits of a co-curricular environment. Our Residence Life staff is committed to providing an environment where all students can feel safe.

The educational philosophy of York College involves the development of the whole person. Residence life is an important aspect of the co-curriculum where students grow socially and spiritually, as well as academically.

The mission of Residence Life at York College is to provide a healthy community environment supportive of each student's need for living and desires for personal growth.

Please contact Collin Tucker, Director of Residence Life and Housing at (402) 363-5718 or ctucker@york.edu with any questions.

Safety and Personal Responsibility
Your safety is of great importance to us.  While York is a safe, small town, we urge you to use wisdom in regard to decisions that affect your personal safety. 

• Curfew: Underclassman residence hall curfew hours are 12 a.m. (midnight) every night except Friday and Saturday, which is 1:00 AM.  Your RA will check you in at the appropriate time.  Residence halls remain locked at all times.
• Security: You are advised to lock personal property in your room and lock bicycles to the bike racks.  The college is not responsible for any personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged. We encourage students to look into purchasing renters insurance. 

The college reserves the right to search any room if there is any reason to believe a violation of college, local, state, or federal laws may have occurred. Appropriate college personnel have the right to enter a room for maintenance and health and safety inspections.
