Life in the

fox lane

t h e g o o d l i f e

p

“But will I like it there?” It’s a common question – and a good one. Life in the Fox lane is about support-ive, challenging community. It’s about growth, new experiences and unique people. It’s about cultivating a culture that allows you to give of yourself and learn from others. Like it here? You’ll love it.

“I feel like this is my home. I can be me here without having to put on a face, without having to be something that I’m not. It fits me perfectly.” – David Kays, psychology major

“The community is very supportive. Challenging at times, very challenging, but definitely supportive. It’s a different kind of community than I’ve ever been in.” – Vanessa Wilkens, writing/literature major
