George Fox University is so homey,
and it just has this different feeling that you really can't get at any other university
When I first was looking at universities, I saw George Fox's campus and was like wow
I have to go here.
I'd probably describe it as the best school in the world
I absolutely love this place
For sure.
The classes are small, which is nice,
because you get to know your classmates and get to have more of a personal relationship with your professors.
For me, I've been challenged
quite a bit, academically,
its quite a shift going from public high school to a private university like this
It's very challenging, and a lot is expected of you
but, you get help if you need it.
The professors are really open, and they love to teach what they're teaching.
The professors are on a first name basis, which is unique,
that's part of our Quaker heritage.
So your professors actually get to know you as a person,
They keep you accountable for your work, and I definitely appreciate that.
You know, the teachers here, they really do a really good job
and incorporate faith in the classroom
which is so awesome because I came from just a public school
where we weren't allowed to talk about religion or God or anything like that
Everyone is encouraged to study abroad or go on Juniors abroad
which is a three week trip.
I studied abroad my senior year,
I studied abroad my senior year, I went to Costa Rica
lived there for four months,
and it really changed my perspective
on who I am
on how I live life
on different cultures
and i think its really great that George Fox provides the opportunity for students to study abroad
They have a great athletic program in general
but if you're not a part of the actual big big sports
there's always intramurals as well
The basketball team is my second family
and they still are
So we won the national championship
Its still to this day hard to believe that we did that
and, you know, I still have flashbacks of the final seconds of that game
and thinking, 'oh my gosh, we did that'
the athletic department here is so awesome
especially like at every single game, you know, we have the blue zone going
and students getting riled up because the athletics are a huge part of Fox.
When I didn't know much about George Fox, but would tell people that that was where I was gonna end up going,
they were really impressed.
People love the students that come from George Fox
they're hard workers, they're compassionate people
We have the serve day on campus
George Fox loves to serve its community
I think thats one of the things i thought was absolutely amazing
you don't see that at a state university
you don't see a day where everyone stops
to go out and serve.
that's not on everyone's priority list
but George Fox has made it a priority
I am very grateful and blessed to be here
It was one of the best choices I've made so far in my life
George Fox is the best place to be
George Fox is the most amazing school
ever.
I love it.
