I love Biola! As a high school senior, I did not want to go to a faith based school so Biola was on the bottom of my list. I applied for my parents mostly and though I got into all of my secular schools, I came to Biola after visiting the campus. Honestly it's not just that people are friendly at Biola - it's that they're serious about seeking the Lord. At every school you will find the self-righteous but in my experience, Biola has a lot more let's-have-water-balloon-fights-at-midnight, come-to-my-church-on-Sunday people rather than the holier-than-thou's.

The academia is somewhat difficult, depending on the class and subject. If you're a journalism major, expect real world experience, including an internship. Art and film majors talk about long, odd hours but most seem to love it. Torrey students have a lot of reading and discussion. Most of the faculty is friendly and willing to help.

Overall, I've loved my time at Biola. It has challenged my faith and encouraged my interests. If you're looking for growth as well as education, Biola will be a great place for you.

Aren't you being a bit holier then thou about not holy holier then thou you are? It seems a bit hypocritical to call people "holier then thou". It is like calling people "judgmental". You are judging them for judging.

Water balloon fights at midnight? I haven't done that since I was in middle school. That's just one of many examples that illustrates that Biola is just like going to a religious middle school. Sophisticated and cultured NOT!
