First of all, I am a lower-senior scheduled to graduate in 2013. I must say it has been an experience attending York College. I have no complaints about the curriculum. Good professors; bad professors. I believe this in most colleges.

My biggest problem with York College is that the students and staff behave like they are still in high school—laughing loudly, playing and running in the college like children, sleeping and fooling around in class, not participating in class and then mocking those students who do and being nasty in the class as well as to the faculty. I believe if York College changes that "high school environment behavior" this college will shine. I mean the classes are not huge—unless you are taking classes in the auditoriums—but no student should be complaining about this school unless it is to address those issues. As an older student, I don't care about those clubs and activities. I wouldn't want to be in them anyway, because I don't like the way these same students behave in class. Overall, if you want to come to York College, come. A lot of the students are not doing what they are supposed to anyway, so if you come in and make good grades, you can only focus on the scholarships that are available and that is the best thing.
