Whether you’re visiting campus or currently enrolled, capturing your moments with memorable pictures is a must.

Our sprawling 190-acre campus offers countless picturesque spots, ensuring you’ll find the perfect backdrop for your campus photos. From iconic landmarks to scenic settings, there’s no shortage of photo opportunities waiting to be discovered! 

The Creek Crossing 

The creek crossing beckons students to campus with its vibrant trees and lush landscaping, providing an inviting backdrop for timeless photos.  No matter if it’s a warm spring breeze or a crisp autumn morning, the creek offers the perfect setting for students to capture moments with their friends. It’s also a cherished spot among alumni who return to capture their proposals on camera! Take a leisurely walk across the bridge the next time you’re on campus, and soak in the serenity of this picturesque space. Don’t forget to snap some photos on the nearby swings! 

Bonus: Check out this location during golden hour to catch the sun peeking perfectly through the willows. 

York College of Pennsylvania Wall 

The classic York College of Pennsylvania Wall stands proudly on Main Campus, right next to Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall. If it’s your first trip to campus, seize the chance to have this milestone documented! Don’t be afraid to ask your Spartan Ambassador to snap a picture of you during your tour! Fast forward four years to your graduation day, and as you capture this unforgettable event, take a moment to revisit the spot where it all began with your first photo by the wall. Trust us, having something to commemorate these significant days will bring you so much joy and nostalgia in the years to come. 

Ol’ Spart 

Speaking of graduation photo ops, your Spartan journey isn’t complete until you’ve taken a photo with your name signed on Ol’ Spart after graduation! This iconic rock stands as one of our students’ favorite traditions. As you etch your name into York College history alongside thousands of alumni who came before you, you’ll know you’ve left your mark on this institution. It’s a moment you’ll want to remember. Make sure to grab your friends for a group photo around Ol’ Spart in your caps and gowns to commemorate your collective experiences and accomplishments together. 

YCP Letters

Our large, green YCP letters on Main Campus offer a fun location for group photos! Located just in front of the Student Union, these letters warmly welcome everyone who comes to visit YCP.  Gather your friends and peek through the letters for a unique way to document your memories here on campus!
