Bruin Preview
Explore George Fox while having fun with students like you. Mingle with faculty, coaches and current students, attend a class of your choice and learn about our majors. You'll hear about our financial aid and admissions processes, meet with your admissions counselor, and hear about opportunities outside the classroom. To get an insider's glimpse of campus life here, you can also eat Bon Appétit meals with new friends and spend the night in a residence hall.
Come with plenty of questions, an appetite for great food and music, and most importantly, a desire to kick back and have fun.

Transfer Students
We know: You've been through this before. You know the drill. You have a different set of questions and concerns. Not to worry, we will get you the info you need, in addition to showing you what campus life is like at George Fox University.
Transportation
Need a ride? Transportation is available from the Portland airport, train station or bus depot for students traveling without a parent or guardian. We have two shuttle pick-up times on Thursday, November 12 at 7:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. We have one return shuttle, Friday, arriving at 5 p.m. at the Portland airport, train station or bus depot. Please call 800-765-4369 x2240 with your itinerary at least a week before Bruin Preview if you plan on using our shuttle.
If you will be driving yourself to/from the airport, keep in mind that it is about an hour away from campus, so plan accordingly.
Here are directions to our campus if you will be arriving on your own.
Registration
Registration is currently open. The registration deadline is November 10. Unfortunately we don't have any more space available for overnight guests on campus but do still have space for the event. Following the November 10 deadline, registration will be handled by phone at 800-765-4369 ext. 2240 on a space-available basis, and will require a $30 registration fee. Space is limited so register early!
Parents and Guests
Parents and guests, we encourage you to attend with your son or daughter to help them process their experience here and ask questions they may not consider. We value your input (so do your kids, believe it or not). Join us for a continental breakfast to address your questions specifically, meet with and hear from George Fox faculty, admission counselors, financial aid counselors, coaches, current students and/or any of the options on the student schedule. Since campus housing is limited to students, here are some suggestions for nearby lodging.
