George Fox University

I am finally being challenged in the classroom again. I almost floated through high school, but George Fox pushes me in the classroom. It expands my thinking, and the teachers are friendly. The ratio of teachers to students is low, so it's really easy to form a relationship with them, and from there, they challenge you to do your best. The classes offered are also wide and exciting, with all sorts of options to fill needed criteria.

There is a lot more to learn at Fox than just academics. While learning about your area of interest and intended career is, of course, the main reason for going to college, the college experience on the whole helps to create a smooth transition from being your parents' child to an independent adult. George Fox, specifically, is a fantastic place for not only academic growth, but also spiritual and personal growth. The safe but very real environment at Fox allows students to grow healthily, but without the sheltered and hidden environment that some people seem to think Christian schools all have.

Wow! I have learned so much from being at Fox so far! Not only academically, but growing as a person spiritually and socially. I am learning like I never have before. I have been challenged, but also, I know that now, I am actually on the road to having the career I have always dreamed about. The professors will tell you here that they want to inspire you to look at topics from different perspectives, or see things from a God-view. I have never had that type of experience before, and I love having that insight from the professors. Right now, I feel like I have been more social than ever before in my life. I meet a new person practically every day, and I am building friendships here that will last a lifetime.

Wow! I won't say this first semester has been easy, but it has been very enlightening! George Fox has really introduced me to college life in a big way! The professors here are all very knowledgable in their fields as well as so obviously enjoying what they teach about. I am never worried about whether my professors know what they are talking about because I realize that they will tell you if they don't know! Then they will look up the answer and get back to you. This teaching technique is not only teaching me things in the classroom, but it is also helping my own studying! You learn things from your professors, the staff, and the students around you, and it has proved a very interesting first semester.

I am not only learning in my classes, but I'm learning in my living area. At Fox, you learn how to be a good roommate, and how to be a good floormate. You also get to learn how to behave as a Christian with people your own age. In addition to this, you do learn many things in classes. The teachers challenge you, but are also very available when you have a question.

I am studying what I love, as well as absorbing an appreciation for a wide variety of disciplines.

There is not a day that goes by where I don't learn something new. Whether I learn something about my major, a fun fact, or I grow in knowledge about my faith, I am constantly learning. Professors take the time to thoroughly explain, dissect and analyze what they teach. You leave class feeling like you learned something and made your time worth while. GFU succeeds in making every class a great one.

george fox university is truly one of the last of it's kind within the christian liberal arts categories for universities. best known for it's connected community, strong academic programs, and faith-based living, george fox is raising the bar for schools across the nation. george fox has more to offer than commonly known private institutions because the heritage and traditions george fox has are things that money can't buy.

I have learned more in one year at George Fox than I could have learned in 10! I have grown in my spiritual walk with God and my friends here at the school have encouraged me so much.

I'm not just learning facts, I am learning more about how to have my faith be an integral part of of my career.
