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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The academics, student life, dorm life, and sports are fantastic! There's ALWAYS something going on, from intramurals to worship, late night breakfast to serve trips, and from student government to student relationships, one has to work hard to be bored. There is such a feel of community, and the school is a wonderful center for learning and playing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Fox is expensive. Really expensive. But I LOVE it here. I would pay it over and over again to get the experiences, knowledge, and relationships I'm making. The campus is small enough to always know someone, but big enough to always meet new people. The low student-to-teacher ratio pays off when you can see a teacher you had for a semester 2 years ago, and they still remember your name and that joke in class.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
First of all, go to a Bruin Preview. Visiting the school shows you around, but when you stay overnight, you get to be a part of the campus, meet other incoming students, and experience what it means to be at George Fox. Next, don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask students, teachers, or your counselors whatever questions you might have. That's why they're there. And finally, sit in a class and meet with a professor of your intended major or a area that interests you. This will help you prepare yourself for what's ahead.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
George Fox has a wide range of students. Though it is a Christian university, there are many people who aren't Christian that attend, because of the quality of the programs offered. It's great for people who want to be involved and be in an uplifting environment. You won't become a number at Fox, but rather a name and a face people will remember. It is a university with awesome academics, and amazing extracurricular activities. If you have an interest in something, anything really, Fox has something to offer you.
