    York College is a hidden gem. An excellent yet affordable education on a pleasant campus.

    York College is one of those places that exceeds your expectations once you have visited campus. The faculty and staff attend enrollment activities, even on weekends, and are very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a backup option until we visited and learned more. It then jumped to the top of our list. You can’t beat the quality of the education for the cost of tuition, which is amazingly affordable.

    Jim strongly recommends the school.
