I could not imagine a school any better than Biola! From caring, dedicated, and brilliant teachers to solid education and a healthy community, Biola has the best academics and atmosphere of any institution I know. Students and teachers share a commitment to Biblical values and a dedication to following Christ with their whole lives.
Cassie from Bothell, WA
Biola University is a welcoming place where faith is integrated into the classroom with professors who seek to love, pray and care for you and teach you to the best of their abilities. The best thing about Biola, however, is the community of students who strive to do well in their studies, while also enjoying the events on campus designed to allow kids to spend time with each other. Biola is the best place to be if you are looking for a safe yet fun and lasting college experience.
