The small size makes our school have a wonderful community. The students are friends with the faculty and there is no social circles. There is lots of diversity at the school, but it helps bring the students together by bringing all the different backgrounds together. Biola's students genuinly care about one another, their education, and having fun. There is always different activities to show different students interest or backgrounds such as poem reading nights, band nights, and students art work displayed all over campus.

The people make up the best thing about Biola University. I have never met as many genuine, caring, and mature young people in one institution as I have at the school. The racial and socio diversity of students at the school is very wide.

Comumunity between the students and Professors. The fact that you can talk about anything with your friends and teachers provides a mind set that is peaceful and safe. As a student I feel confident in that who I am and what I think are accpepted with no-biases and open arms. The community at Bioa is one of love and acceptance. It doesn't matter what you like or what you think, everyone is ready to talk to you and hear you out.

My favorite thing about Biola is the community, going to a private university where everyone shares the same beliefs makes getting along with everyone easier. Our students are like family to one another, and the teachers and staff really care about us.

Our mission statement is "equipping men and women in mind and character to impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ". In every aspect of our learning journey, we are incoperating morals from our beliefs. No matter what career interest we choose, Biola teaches how to incoperate God into our job titles and lives. We are a strong community of believers and our number one goal is to glorify God together.

The biblically centered education is the best thing about Biola. Most schools only teach educational and material aspects of life, while Biola cares to nurture our spiritual lives along with our education, which provides a fulfillment that many students lack in their dissapointment with tangeable life. The education reflects the Christian lifestyle that all students and staff strive to uphold. Because everyone cares about spiritual lives, deep relationships are formed, and continual encouragement can be found as soon as you walk into any classroom from Biology to Philosophy. The academics and atmosphere on campus gives our students hope.

Biola's mission and purpose is probably the best aspect about it. Christ-centered learning is the reason that I chose this university.
Chris
Almost everyone in the school has a very friendly attitude, which comes from its Christian status. The kind nature of its students and staff was the deciding factor in my choice to come here over several other schools with film programs. The people here make it worth the cost of attending.

I like how there is a sense of unity in the school. All the students upkeep a moral standard of living; treat others with kindness and respect. Also the staff and faculty are very generous. The professors are awesome; giving their students good quality of education plus, they do show care for their students' success. Besides the academics, there are a lot of activities that students can do whether it be sports, school or dorm events, off-campus activities, and even just haning-out with friends. Finally, what makes Biola so unique is they encourage both academic and spiritual growth.

The best thing about Biola University is that all students are required to minor in biblical studies. This minor allows people to better learn to become witnesses for Christ while pursuing majors in other areas. The set up allows for those entering different professional fields to be well educated and prepared to speak about God without being directly connected to a church such as becoming a pastor. Arming those graduating from Biola with this knowledge casts a wider net in being a witness for Christ.
