Residence Life
Your Home Away from Home
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. All full-time students must live on campus unless they meet the criteria for living off campus and receive prior approval from the Office of Residence Life.
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. Each hall is managed by full-time Residence Directors who live in an apartment within each hall. Resident Assistants (RAs) are trained student leaders who reside on each floor to assist students and create an atmosphere of community and respect.
Please contact Jennifer Otte, Director of Residence Life and Housing at (402) 363-5718 or jaotte@york.edu with any questions.
