The best thing about college visits is seeing a college campus in person to get a sense of whether it is the right fit. Tour campus, ask students questions, attend a class, meet professors, discuss financial aid options, and so much more. From the moment you set foot on campus, you'll feel the difference. Register for a campus visit. www.ycp.edu/visit

What I love about York College is that it is a small community full of unlimited resources.
