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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being at George Fox. It is so beautiful on campus, and the people are genuine. I am very blessed to be able to come to a university like this. I am definitely developing a home away from home here, and making friends that are like family. The professors treat you like an individual, not just a number in their classroom. Also, the food here is a lot better than high-school cafeteria food. I feel that I am validated, and that I am surrounded by others who I feel comfortable sharing anything with. One of the greatest things about Fox that attracted me in the first place was their value in putting God at the center of everything. I see the Lord doing a mighty work here, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I would say so. I am very fortunate to be here, and I probably would not be able to come if it were not for the generous contributions of my family members. It is a expensive school, but the Lord provided for me to come here. Academics are taken seriously but, you gain so much more than an education from coming here. Also, there is new motivation for getting good grades when you (or your family) are the ones who pays for it. There are countless amounts of opportunities available to be a part of through on campus clubs. If this is the right school for you, there will be a way to come here, whether it be through financial aid, or the generosity of others.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make a list of goals (academics first off) when and if you come. It is a lot easier to to keep your eye on the goal when you have that list handy when the temptation of distraction rolls around. Secondly, grades are important, but you need time to rest, and just hang out with others (besides your text book) so, get involved. There is bound to be a club that is just right for you that you could make a special contribution to. Next, thou shalt go to chapel! Just kidding, but there is a spiritual life credit minimum that you must earn while attending George Fox. There are way more opportunities for spiritual life credit than needed, but if you do end up coming here, I would challenge you to go more times than required. I have gained insight on topics that I would have never thought of before through the teachings of our speakers. Plus, it will stink if you wait till the last minute to earn your spiritual life credits, like around finals time, and you have to choose between that and studying. Lastly, I would encourage you to pray, whether your day is on cloud nine, or you are stressed to death about that test coming up. If you come to Fox or not, God has a plan for you, and you can trust that He knows what He is doing. That is a lesson I had to learn, and am continuing to learn through out the college experience.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to learn more about yourself, and God, George Fox offers you that opportunity. If you look forward to working at your dream job, Fox can help you get there. If you are willing to step out of your comfort zone, and be exposed to different cultures, and make friends of different back-grounds, Fox can give you that experience. Lastly, if you want to be challenged to reach your potential, George Fox will make it happen. God Bless you in the decision you make for collage.
