- Hi, I'm Lindsay Hobson and I'm the area coordinator for North Campus at York College of Pennsylvania. Today, I'll be taking you on a tour of our first-year living areas. Let's get started. Here we are outside of Beard Hall, which is a part of the Penn/Beard complex and houses approximately 360 first-year students. The rooms in Penn/Beard feature ample storage space provided by the built-in desk, cabinets, and closet space. Additionally, each room is equipped with a bed, desk chair, and full length mirror. Featuring a symmetrical design, each roommate has equal space on his or her side of the room. While our rooms are adequately sized, we recommend communicating with your roommate to ensure you don't end up with two of everything. Next on our tour is the Manor Complex, which is comprised of five buildings, Manor North, South, East, West, and Northeast. This complex houses approximately 450 first-year students. A typical room in one of the manors comes standard with freestanding dresser, desk, wardrobe, and bed. Room shapes and sizes vary within this complex and provide students with unique living spaces. These rooms have enough room for everything you need, but probably not everything you have. Rounding out our trip today is Northside Commons, which houses both first-year students and upperclassmen students. In addition to being our newest resident's hall, Northside also features built-in closet areas and large windows with included blinds. Also available for students are multiple study and lounge areas. Microwave and refrigerator combinations are available to rent and make the perfect addition to any resident's hall room. Students have access to laundry facilities in each of their living areas. The machines are large-capacity, high-efficiency units, and are operated using the Flex Card. Each of the buildings we toured today is accessed via an electronic swipe system and keys are used to get into the individual rooms. Students are assisted by live-in residents like staff, including resident assistants and area coordinators. For more information, please visit ycp.edu/reslife.
