Review of George Fox University

from Grants Pass, OR

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is a great atmosphere at Fox. You feel like you matter because the teachers remember you, and you always see someone you know when you walk to class. It's an intimate atmosphere, and you get to share it with people of the same faith. It's very nice to have something in common with everyone on campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's a very expensive school, but they offer a great deal of financial aid. Other universities didn't offer me enough financial aid to make college affordable, but George Fox gave me $28,000 in grants and scholarships. This is a great school, and more affordable than most people think it is.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Everyone should fill out the scholarship application for the school, and everyone should participate in the Scholarship Competition. It's a great way to win some renewable scholarships, and it's not very difficult. Also, do the Early Action deadline so you don't have to pay an application fee.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great school for Christian students that want to have fun! There are events that go on daily that allow you to step out of your comfort zone and have a good time. You will only be bored at Fox if you choose to be bored.
