Review of Biola University

from Salinas, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This is my second year at Biola and I have learned a tremendous amount in regards to my major, my faith, myself, and the Bible. Because of the Communication Disorders program I have enjoyed learning, knowing that I will be able to become a speech pathologist. I have also grown an unexplainable amount in my faith and have become more self- aware throughout the daily situations, chapels, and challenges Biola presents. I've learned in the Bible classes as well, they have been an opportunity to see God in different angles and to be so in awe of His Majesty. In addition to all this, I was in Torrey Honors Institute my Freshman year (which is equivalent to a prestigious school) and now value learning so much that after class some days my heart would be racing praises to God that He gave me the capacity to understand a glimpse of how much there is to know.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is simply no other place I would rather be than Biola University. Every opportunity my school is brought up I love sharing about my experiences in the honors program, in classes, in the dorm, in my major, and as an Resident Assistant. I thoroughly enjoy every aspect of my wonderful school!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Attending college tends to be an expensive process and Biola is no exception. The jobs and loans I've acquired to be at Biola are disheartening because of how much it takes out of me. Even though each semester is questionable whether I could return because of how much it costs, I would say it has been well worth it. I think this school is a great investment.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be excited-Biola is such a welcoming community! My tip for prospective students would be to get involved on your floor, in clubs, in a missions trip, in a ministry, in chapel, or anyway you find fitting because the more involved the more you will enjoy your experience.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you are questioning humanity's purpose in life and/or pursuing righteousness, I honestly think Biola will give you the most satiating answer.
