Biola University Top Questions

Someone who does not take their Spiritual life seriously. One who is not an active Christian.

A person who was not a professing Christian could not attend this school. This university was built on the goal to impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ, so they provide a foundation of Biblical teaching and challenge us throughout the educational experience. Making Biola a 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Christian community may sound restrictive, but this is what makes it so unique. Just visiting the campus, you can feel the different dynamics of community and even stewardship.

If you are the kind of person who is particularly attached to such social activities as drinking, gambling, and engaging in sexual activities outside of marriage, or if you detest chapel attendance, then Biola is not for you. Students here sign a contract prohibiting those behaviors. Biola is an evangelical Christian organization, and all of its students are committed followers of Jesus Christ. People who are not Christians, or are not completely devoted to following God's will for their lives, will not enjoy the atmosphere of Biola. The happiest students on Biola's campus are the more conservative ones.

A non-Christian.

Biola is a small, community based school that emphasizes the importance of learning more about Christianity, the Bible, and how to apply faith to the everday life. Anyone who does not think that they will thrive well in this kind of school should not attend. I reccommend that everyone interested should at least check it out before making any decisions.

A non professing Christian should not attend this school. The mission statement of this school is to equip students to reach the world for the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is important to not get involved with drinking, partying, doing drugs at this school and friends will call you out if you do so.

Any one interested in getting a great education in a Christian environment to allow them to grow spiritually and at the same time prepare them to get a job after school.

Although Biola is a wonderful university that fits the needs of a broad spectrum of students, it definitely does not fit all. Biola holds very high standards for their student in all aspects of life; therefore, young adults wishing to attend a school filled with parties, drinking, and drugs need to direct their college search elsewhere. Along with the party hardy folks, the "free soul" personalities would be dissatisfied with Biola. Not only does Biola have a set of standards that each student must follow, but everyone is required to take specific classes alongside their majors in order to graduate.

People who want to party and live life rather than focus on studies should NOT attend this school because our campus has strict rules. People who lack any faith should NOT attend this school because this is a Christian university. Lastly, people who want the big campus feeling should NOT attend this school because Biola is a small campus, and everyone becomes a familiar face.

Those with hareden hearts of rebellion, and who like to shake their fist at authority simply to do so, because it gives them a feeling of power and independence.

I you're looking for a time to party doing drugs/alcohol during college, then this school is not for you. It's a Christian school so there are rules against that.

Someone who is not driven to learn diligently about God and seek His will for his life. Someone should not go to Biola if they plan on partying all the time. Biola is for people who are serious about their futures and following God's plan.

Overly liberal, drug-using, alcohol-binging homosexuals. Really.

Someone who parties or likes to find joy in alcohol or drugs. There is a very strong supportive group of students who are not afraid to turn you in if alcohol and drugs is a problem. But if it's a one time thing, students are usually pretty cool in not turning you in.

Biola is focused on teaching students based on integration of the bible with the subject of study. We learn how to properly apply our beliefs to our studies when applicable in order to proclaim the word of God in any area of work through word and deed. This is not to say that non-Christians should not attend Biola, but they may not have the same appreciation for the education that we receive at Biola. It is still a very open community to different cultures, backgrounds, and religions.

Biola is a private Christian university, so students who are not believers of Jesus Christ should not attend (and will not be accepted to) Biola.

Somewhat is isnt christian, and focused on an integrated life of ministry.

This school is not the ideal institution for those seeking an agricultural or unreligios lifestyle. the Los Angeles location encourages an upbeat and fast paced lifestyle which isn't for everyone. There are many oppertunites due to its location, but these will be unhelpful if a student is seeking some a career that is not popular in this region. Also, this school has a very religions approach to campus life, so if student is looking for a "party school" experience then another school should be considered. there are a fair amount of parties, but Biola is a dry campus.

Someone who enjoys being involved with campus activities, like southern californian culture, likes to be a part of dormitory activites, and doesn?t mind attending mandatory chapels

A Christian looking for a great small school to receive a Christian based education. You have to put yourself out there and meet new people, but there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and be apart of what is going on around campus. There is no drinking and no drugs allowed on or off campus while enrolled at this school. There are certain hours you can/can't go into opposite sex dorm rooms, so you will have to find other places to hang out if you're into that.
