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.
