I remembered when I first began attending college straight from High School. I was in my 2nd year when I did not have enough money to register for my classes. I needed 25 cents. The young lady at the time told me that I could not register because I was 25 cents short. I had my young nephew with me at the time. I had to drive all the way back to Brooklyn to get that 25 cents to return to the college to complete my registration. I did not mind because I eventually graduated from there and was thankful to Ed Koch at the time who encouraged the West Indians at the college to "come work for the City" when he visited the college back then. It was the best time of my life to work for the City of New York. Thank you York College!
York College is definitely an unforgettable and exciting experience! I am very glad that I decided to study here.
The first thing I wanted to mention is the high level of education. The second is that for the duration of my studies I could feel like everyone else and no one looked at me like a beast because of my skin color. Colleges in America offer a wide range of programs and majors, which allows each student to find something that really interests him/her. Teachers are often experts in their fields and real professionals, ready to share their knowledge and experience with students. Special thanks to the guys I have come all this way with.

It's in a rough area, but up and coming. This school has so much potential and the diversity in students and faculty is unmatched! I've attended Queens college but York is 10x better in terms of help from staff and more 1 on 1 meetings. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the school is underfunded and lacks the amenities that would take this college to the next level.
If your major is Phys Ed nursing, or movement and health science I highly recommend this school over Queens, and BK college.

My daughter goes to this school and she likes it. So I love! Easy to get to a good 4yr city college. Will not break your bank. A lot of good programs available at this school. You could do worst. Do you homework and check it out before you commit to flushing money down drain somewhere else!
I had a terrible experience with the bursar's office, and I'm not the only one based on the previous comments. I withdrew from classes, and they charged me 100%; it was during the pandemic also, and I tried to contact them many times. I HAVE PROOFED AND SHOWED IT TO THEM, but they did not do anything, and now my balance it's with a collections agency. You can tell how good the bursar's office is at getting people's money but not communicating with students. The staff is lazy. They don't do their job, and we, students, pay for their unprofessionalism. This school is only interested in stealing your money and couldn't care less about the students. I want to emphasize that all the staff is so lazy, and even if you escalate to the “supervisor” they all will cover up their own mistakes.
Lovely campus and easily seen from the street. The school is close to public transportation. The campus houses a high school and an elementary school. The grounds can use some work and some more public art installations. The cemetery is gated but plenty of history ardorns the head stones. The indoor exhibit of The Tuskegee Airmen is worth visiting the campus. The stundent art galley is the best. Ask security for accessibility for people with disabilities. Security at the gate will ask of I. D. He is very pleasant and awesome with directions. Most staff/faculty are helpful too. Better to get assistance from the more experienced staff. They are quite knowledgeable. The food is pricey for college life, but the chicken Marsalis, peas & rice, Mac & cheese and green beans with show string beans cut carrots was a tasty pleasant delight. The logistics of the buildings are identified in letter quadrants to help navigate your way through the buildings. For example 1B 106 would be on the 1st floor in the "B" section. The Art department is quite amazing.
Professors are ok. Howerver, most of them have Big classes, less time to answer questions and emails. Bathrooms are filthy. Elevators are out of order most of time. The service System does not run as well as other schools, specially financial aid office who misled you to take 12 selfpaid credits and admition office, where they charge you commitment fee in case you don't take class there. Disappointing experiences!!!
This is one of the best schools under CUNY! The campus is really clean and huge. I attended there in their Auditorium in a program of "Prothom Alo" to take pictures. Their auditorium is so huge, and looks good. Well decorated campus.
