Review of Biola University

from Riverside, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

My professors care. I cannot say bad things about the Education major because my professors have been such a huge help! They really try to help us juggle school and play and life outside of Biola. They provide resources and help when needed. I am truly grateful for each of them. I am learning a lot, so much in fact that my mind would explode if it weren't built to process all this information! ;)

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Every dorm and floor has it's unique environment. So far, I've had a blast and met friends I know I will have for the rest of my life! There is always some event going on whether it be a sports game or art exhibit. Campus is never dull, especially with an egg hidden around campus that every dorm wants to find!

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

Pricey? Definitely. Worth it? For me, YES! It really depends on you. Anywhere you go really. If you are into school and want to learn then you will learn to be a god steward of money and appreciate the education. You can make the most of the money you invest or let it go to waste. It's up to you.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

VISIT. You need to get a feel for it. You need to know what you are getting into. If you don't want to attend 30 chapels in a semester or take 30 units of Bible classes then consider going elsewhere. Don't come and try to fight the rules or get around them. It's not right and you won't win. You'll just get kicked out. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO AND MAKE SURE YOU AGREE WITH THE CONTRACT.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Independent, motivated, out going, want to make a difference, want to achieve great things, love God and desire to grow in their faith!
