George Fox University Top Questions

I do not think that there is anything I strongly wish that I would have known now that I did not know then. Everything that I have learned about this school has had to be learned through experiences, such as how difficult certain classes or professors are, or how best to budget study time, etc. I feel as though I am a different person in some ways since I have attended George Fox University, but I do not think that this was anything that I could possibly have known ahead of time.

specifically What I wanted to Major in, its difficult to catch up if you change.

That the people here were rather close-minded.

I wish I had known how few scholarships I was going to get so that I could take the time to fill out more.

How little there is to do in Newberg. Without a car you stuck in the middle of no where. I wish I didn't sell my car freshman year.

I wish that I had known that you need to be intentional about forming relationships. There is so much going on that if you are not driven to form relationships with people in leadership, you can become overlooked. It is much easier to gain positions of leadership if you know people in other leadership positions before you apply. It isn't always what you know, but rather who you know. Thankfully on a small campus where aministration is happy to meet students, this is not difficult if you try.

That there aren't many students who are over 25, or parents. I am fall into that group and it is a small social world for people in my position. Academically it is as challeging as I had hoped.
