Biola University Top Questions

Biola University is a radically different and unique university that allows its students to not only earn a degree, but also deepen their faith.

Community in a Christ centered education.

Biola rocks because it's diversity and love through its community to show its love for jesus christ and others.

This school is amazing and a blessing to be able to attend.

God-centered, eduacationally stretching.

I like this question a lot because some reason, at Biola, all of the colors, whether it is on the buildings or the plants, look enhanced. I think it's amazing that the school still looks nice on a rainy day. Depending on which entrance you take, the Biola Ave or University Dr., You will see either a bell tower that says Biola University, or a board that says it. The University Dr. entrance allows you to get a preview of the on campus (they're off campus but, not really) apartments, some dorms, the field and Crowell Hall (The Music Building). The Biola Ave entrance allows you to see the Business building, a few classrooms and the Talbot School of Theology building as well as a few theaters. There is a Gym not to far from the University Dr. entrance and by the gym, there are food places (Eagle's Nest and Common Ground), The Biola Bookstore, The Student Union Building, The Mailbox Lawn, and the outdoor fireplace. Then across from those things are the Caf and Bardwell Hall which is the Science Building. On the right side of the Gym, there are parking structures and across from the five story parking structure, there is a Baseball field and dorms. If you go up the hill, there are classrooms. Behind Commons and Eagles, there is Floor Fountain and diagonal from that stands the famous Jesus Mural. Parking Lots are all around the campus, mainly on the exterior part. I would strongly advise you to take a tour so this would all make a bit more sense.

I would describe Biola as the best of both worlds. Although it is located in the small, quiet city of La Mirada, it is surrounded by the beach and larger cities that are fun to visit. The campus itself is beautiful, with new buildings or additions happening often. Biola is a fairly small campus compared to most universities, but I have never felt crowded or claustrophobic. It is spread out nicely, but there is never more than a 5 or 10 minute walk to any class. The classrooms are very nice, and the dorms (especially the newer buildings) are some of the best I've ever toured. The overall layout of Biola's campus encourages community, which adds to a wonderful feeling on campus. In short, Biola's campus feels like home in a matter of days.

A biblically and Christ-centerd community.

Biola University is a place to discovery who you are through the pursuit of knowledge, community, and leadership.

Biola is a place of love, a place where students and professors both care for each other and meet each other even outside of the classroom, a place where race is disregarded and everyone is accepted as they are, a place where people are encourged to not only thrive as academically astute and successful students but also are taught to be humans who love God and one another, a place where people take time to invest in one another's lives, a place where God is placed first rather than studies or even personal success, a place similar to heaven.
