What Students Are Saying

excellent food and cuisine to satisfy everyone. in addition york college is in close proximity to the city therefore there a many food courts to choose from.
janell from Jamaica, NY
The foods are a bit pricey however they have pizza that most students love.
It's kind of hard to get a seat in the cafe however there are chargers for you to charge your electronics!
Smile from Astoria, NY
There is a cafeteria in the school and also many stores, restaurants and markets located all around the school's location. So if you do not have time to grab something from home, eating wont be a problem. They're will be no starving.
Winnie from Elmont, NY
The food at breakfast is awesome (the croissants melt in your mouth). The lunch is good also; it has the feel of a bistro in Manhattan *tasty*. One downside is that it gets kind of crowded in the student cafeteria, so if you want to have a serene conversation, it's not really the place to go.
