Review of George Fox University

from Medford, OR

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

At Fox you are surrounded by a community of people interested in your growth academically, spiritually, and socially. The professors are interested in you as an individual, willing to meet outside of the classroom. I am a nursing major at GFU and although it is an intensive program, it is not as deadly as they make it out to be. If you enjoy learning, as well as building relationships with your peers and faculty, George Fox is a great pick! You will be hard pressed to find a college that is as friendly, welcoming, and uplifting as George Fox University.

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

Although GFU can be fairly expensive, I would count every penny to be worth it. Always keep your eye open for financial aid, and keep in contact with your financial aid counselor.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Work hard at getting satisfactory test scores on SATs, CLEPs, etc. so that you don't have to spend valuable time taking some of the required classes. Also, if you are interested in any major involving the medical field, take Anatomy in high school if it is available. It is best to get a jump start on the more difficult subjects.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Christians who enjoy a caring, encouraging, kind, and fairly studious education. You will grow academically, personally, as well as spiritually.
