The worst thing about my school is the cost. Although I love my college and just about everything about it, it is very expensive. Tuition is close to $30,000 a year. The price of my university makes it hard for my family and I to make ends meet. Because of the price, I am not sure if I will be able to go through all four years of college at Biola.

The worst thing about Biola University is what is called the Biola Bubble. It is true that lifelong friendships will be made, but several people here seem to be inside this bubble. One way is the clicks that are formed. People form tight bonds here but at times can be very exclusive to new comers. Everyone seems to get at least a dozen smiles in a day, but passes to join these clicks seem to be rare. The bubble also restricts many people from seeing what the world is really like at times.

The worst thing I have personally encountered at Biola is the high cost of tuition. Being a private university, it is understanding that the necessary money has to come from somewhere. However, especially in these economically trying times, I do regret that the weight of this burden falls on the students, many of whom are, due merely to age, illequipped to fund themselves.

I believe the worst thing about my school is the lack of racial awareness that seems to be present in most of the students. I took a class this last semester that really opened my eyes to the issue, and I believe that more students should be made aware of what is going on in America concerning this issue. It's important, and not something that shoudl be ignored. Ignoring, or not having an opinion feeds the problem, rather than facing it and working towards reconciling it.

The cost of Biola University makes life difficult sometimes. My parents and I have to work pretty hard to pay the bills for me to attend school down in the L.A area.

The one thing about Biola that could be improved is the quality of some of the older buildings but many of them are scheduled to be renovated or rebuilt in the near future. There are also plenty of high quality facilities.

Although Biola University offers many majors, there are not many out-of-the-box or exuberantly varied selections. This can be mostly accounted for due to Biola's size. However, compared to many other state universites, Biola's selection for majors is somewhat basic and small.

Worst thing about our school is the one food company that runs all the food, there is no diversity.

Location, tutition, and lack of research/money put into the science departments.
