There is no doubt that the administrators, faculty, and professors want you to grow not only academically, but also spiritually and even vocationally. Point Loma fosters an environment where one can grow in all three fields, as long as one applies themselves. The courses are yes hard, because it is college. However, there are tools that are provided to easily learn and help get great grades. Professors make themselves available almost anytime one needs them. I even went to a couple of my professors homes my freshman year. The tutorial center is open during the day for free tutoring. Overall, Point Loma offers everyone something that they can really enjoy and excel at, as long as one puts the effort into it.
