Biola University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Biola University? Why?

Thomas

The downside to many of the great aspects of Biola is it's high tuition. Even with FAFSA and a few internal scholarships, the cost was still over $20,000. Regardless of summer jobs or grants, most students end up taking out loans. For me, the reward of achieving a career in the film industry through the connections Biola offers will be worth any period of debt I must struggle through.

The expense of Biola is the worst thing about it.

Despite the high-quality education provided and the serene campus, the tuition and costs to attend BIOLA University is more than a state university. BIOLA has great scholarship and financial aid programs; however, the cost of attendance even after all the deductions is still on the higher-end. If you are an out-of-state student, BIOLA actually may be more affordable than state schools. Private schools are generally expensive, but the education and care you recieve may be worth it.

Sometimes people are act like they do not have problems and act as if they always have to be happy, which is not what we are taught. We are taught to be honest and vulnerable with one another; people forget that.

The worst thing about Biola University is the surrounding area, there is not much to do.

Open Hours!! I hate the fact that there is only certain times and days that boys can be on the girls floor or vice versa. It is by far the worst inconvenience. I love the fact that we don't have coed dorms because that would just be aweful but it would be nice to have my boyfriend or even a guy come into my roommate and my room without having the door open and having him have to leave before 11. I understand that it is just a precaution but still a nuisance none the less.

Worst thing for a commuter or the owner of a car is the extra fee for parking permits.

The price. Everything about Biola is incredible, but it is hard to pay for at times. However, the amazing things about the school make up for the price.

The worst thing about Biola is the on campus jobs are hard to come by. We have a website where campus jobs are listed, however they are few and hard to get. Many students are looking for jobs, so employers have many applicants making the process very competitive. If you are serious about getting a job and work hard to apply to several places you will eventually get one, it just might not be the most glorious postion. I work in the school cafeteria, but applied many places before I got hired.

The price of room and board gets exhausting sometimes.
