Review of Biola University

from Milpitas, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Biola has pretty much everything you could want in a Christian college. There is great community in the dorms along with the entire campus. The Biblical Studies department has wonderful teachers that make the 30 units apply to your life and more than just a requirement.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is such a great community in the dorms and all over campus. Each dorm has multiple all hall events that cam help you get to know the people in your dorm. Then the floors have events that include the Biola tradition of GYRAD (Get Your Roommate A Date) and floor retreat plus others. There are many opportunities for fun.

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

Biola is pretty expensive, but I would say that the atmosphere and community make it so worth it to go to Biola.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If your parents can provide a car for you to use, it's helpful. It's not necessary because there is the grocery store and pharmacy walking distance from campus. A car makes it easier to go other places, but the chances are that you'll find a way to get there within your group.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

God fearing and loving, hard working
