Biola University Top Questions

Overall, the best thing about my school is the fact that their main focus is on God. Of course academics are an important part of this school, but God comes first in this all things here. The entire campus is filled with good vibes and makes me feel safe and welcomed.

Biola has an awesome Christian community. It is easy to make lifelong friends who love to have fun and encourage one another. The community is also very school-spirited which can be loads of fun at school events. At Biola I love feeling right at home with a group of close friends that encourage me spiritually and have the same set of morals that I do. As a community we have so much fun together!

Everything is within walking distance, so that's a HUGE convenience. We also have a small, but beautiful olive grove which is great for studying, doing devotionals, or just hanging out! But I think the thing that makes this campus stand out the most is the huge Jesus mural on the side of the science building. Honestly, it freaks people out a little at first, but you'll get used to it in a week or so. :)

The learning environment is very positive and helpful. You not only grow acedemically but you are also challeneged in growing wiser in regards to relationships. I believe this is the best thing for me because of my Intercultural Studies major. I will have to be interacting with many types of people and Biola sets the training ground there.

There are so many godly and encouraging people who truly care about you, both faculty and students. It is a spiritually rich environment that cultivates growth in all aspects of life, especially in combination with academics.

The best part about Biola is the community. It is so easy to get involved and because everyone has at least some of the same views on life, it is even easier to make friends on a deeper level. Everyone is very supportive and it is a wonderful and supportive atmosphere to grow academically, emotionally and spiritually.

The most unique thing about our campus would be the people. Almost every person you pass by will greet you with a smile, wave, or friendly hello. Everyone gets along quite well, and "drama" is not seen often at Biola.

It's one of the top ranked Christian colleges in the USA. It truly lives up to a Christian standard and every single person that is on campus has a relationship with God in some speical way. The faculty and staff are all highly experienced in what they do and have a passion for a variety of different fields. I notice that people care more about what they are persuing and that they are interested in what other people are persuing also. Being apart of a Christian community means being apart of people who are kind, ambitious, and smart.

We have an outside fireplace. If that isn't unique then I don't know what is.

The Torrey Honors Institute equips students with both an extensive grasp of the classics of the Western world and an understanding of Christian theology. Torrey teaches students how to discuss and think well in Socratic style classes lead by Torrey professors. The professors that are a part of the institute are proficient teachers who care about the student's growth as an academic and as an individual confroting the confusing questions of identity and purpose.
