While many different kinds of people attend this university, an outgoing, acedmically focused, Christian-centered student from a conservative background would fit in best here.

Someone who is seeking to be in a Christ-centered university, willing to have their mind opened and thinking challenged academically and spiritually.

The perfect person for this school would be a a student with a strong faith who wants to attend a small, though nationally recognized school. George Fox is not a party school, and anyone thinking they may want to go to college and participate in frat parties will be solely disappointed. That being said, we do have a strong sense of community and closeness at this school , and we do take care of our onw. Classes are small so professors have time to get to know every student.

George Fox is open to all students of racial and economical background. This is a Chrisitan university so those who are very into the party scene (drugs/alcohol) might feel left out since there are no parties on campus. You don't have to be incredibly smart-you'll never feel left out or not good enough.

Peole who are serious about education, like a small-campus/class atmosphere, and who have religious tolerance. The school is a Quaker University and the majority of people who attend consider themselves to be Christian and for that part conservative Christians. The university has policies against gambling, alcohol, tobacco, and all drug use while in attendace at this school.

people that like people, christians

Someone who is focused on their education and desires a close knit "community." Someone who wants to interact with their professors and other students. It is difficult to just be part of the crowd. Someone who wants to be involved in serving the community at home and abroad.

Someone who doesn't mind being absolutely engulfed in a church like atmosphere.

I would say that a person who is interested in getting to know a lot of people and wants to join in an active community. George Fox is very faith-based and a person going to Fox would most likely feel a bit out of place if they did were not interested in spirituality as chapel is mandatory. You will get a lot of out Fox if you are prepared for a challenging, rewarding, intimate (you only have 10 ppl in class as a jr/senior) academic life!
