Biola University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Lindsey

Nothing. It exceeded my expectations.

Jacqueline

I wish I could have learned more about where things are located in the campus. As a commuter, I don’t really get the advantage of being in school for hours and walking around the campus, exploring. I had to find time to walk around and see where certain building is located and where events happen. I guess it just takes time in knowing where everything is and finding my way throughout the campus.

Nancy

I wish I would have known more about the programs that the school offers.

Camila

Different ways to pay for shcool. Knowing where to get the money to pay for school is extremely important.

I wish I would have known how important it is to step out of your comfort zone and meet as many new people as you can, even people you wouldn't normally talk to. I wish that instead of being very quiet and shy, I would have been more outgoing because everyone at Biola is so friendly and willing to meet new people.

Kyle

Some of the dorms aren't that great.

Marcel

I wish I had know more enlisted in the military. This school is awsome and has many resources in terms of funds, community, connections and over al a good staff.

Rosetta

I wish I would have known how undiverse the school was. It was a culture shock being the only black student in a lot of my classes.

Jessica

My parents and I expected that when I began attending Biola in August, I could easily find an on-campus job, which we knew I needed to have in order to pay for school. When I went to look for jobs, however, I realized that only a handful of positions were available. Biola does not offer very many on-campus positions, and I wish I had known that ahead of time. I cannot work off-campus because I do not have a car, so I frantically applied for every job I could. I finally got one in October.

Favian

I wish I had known of the many fanancial aid opportunities that Biola had that would have helped me pay for tuition.
