Review of Biola University

from Palmdale, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

A lot is an understatement to describe the amount of learning a student does at Biola. What is so unique and wonderful about this school is that you have the opportunity to receive top notch education from a high profile faculty on not only general subjects like math, English, and the sciences, but also on a wide variety of biblically based courses. Biola does not describe it's education as Biblically Centered for nothing. Education there really is biblically centered! There is not one class where Faith and Theology are not incorporated into the curriculum. Even though that might sound odd, learning about the bible in math class?!, it is most definitely not impossible. It is a great learning environment for those who are really interested in being prepared not only for their career of choice, but also in impacting the world for Christ!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

What can I say about my time spent there? I would not want to attend anywhere else! The campus is small and warming. It is easy to get to know people and there are many activities year round that allow for the flourishing of great friendships with the most wonderful people ever. I cannot be more excited about returning to school after a long hot summer to see and spend time with great friends on a wonderful campus! Time spent here is time well spent! And do not even get me started on the buffet-style cafeteria! Like I said, time spent at Biola is definitely time well spent!

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

Please DO NOT let this intimidate you or keep you from enjoying one of the greatest experiences and blessings ever! Biola can be and is an expensive university, but IT IS really WORTH IT! The education received there is of top quality. You truly get what you paid for! It can be hard sometimes, but financial aid is ALWAYS available for those willing to make an effort. Don't give up on such a great school just because of the money. As a prospective student, Biola was way out of my league (money-wise), but deciding to give it a shot was the best decision I ever took! Trust me, you will NOT regret choosing Biola! The money will one way or another, always come, Biola will not! Think about it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do not be discouraged by the different things you hear about the school. Go for yourself and get to know the place. Different people will have different opinions on what is great and what is not so great about the school. One thing is for sure though, most people have a positive opinion about how great Biola is! Don't believe me? Go see it for yourself! I trust you won't be disappointed.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great place for students looking to attend a small and cozy university. It is a wonderful school for those searching to not only expand their knowledge in the general subjects, but also explore the roots and foundations of Christian Theology and strengthen their Faith in Christ. It is for those that are genuinely looking for Biblically Centered Education.
