The most unique part of Biola is the faith centered education and community. Out of all the schools that I looked at, Biola was the one that stuck out as the most committed to its values, and after being there for awhile, I still have that same view of it. It is a very unique place to be.

As a Christian university, they create a safe enviornment on campus with constant exposure to world outside of the classroom, the dorm and the campus, which emphasizes that there are times for training (on campus) and then times for being sent out (off campus) and loving on a world in desperate need of being loved (what Jesus told us to do), because Biola does not ignore the world's problems or seek to distance themselves from them, but equips their students with the tools they need to be an effective catalist for changing a needing world.

All the students and professors at this school are Christians, and their focus is to do whatever they do to the best of their ability to serve Christ and others.

Biola is a private Christian university, so it allows students the opportunities to integrate thier faith into their future careers. Since the campus size is so much smaller than a CSU, I can get to classes faster as well as interact one on one with my professors and develop a more personal relationship with them. Biola also has a less impacted nursing degree program compared to many other California schools, so it allows me the ability to not only sign up for the required classes I need, but to also have a higher chance at getting into the program.

Biola has one of the most unique environments to be in. It is encouraging and challenging inside and outside of the classroom. I was refreshed when I saw how available and approachable the professors are. Not only do they care about your educational progress, but also how you are doing as a person.

Biola University is a place that prepares a student to go out into the world to impact lives for the Lord Jesus Christ. The amazing part is that the teachings I receive are not only preparing me to be a strong businesswoman, but I am being taught to integrate my faith into my career.

Biola is the only school that I could find that emphasized Biblical beliefs, as well as other majors. Every student at Biola is required to take 30 units in Bible classes along with all of their major courses. This appealed to me because I wanted to gain more knowledge about my religious beliefs. However, I also know that I want to be a nurse when I graduate, and wanted to attend a school that encourages many different career paths. Biola is the only Christian university that effectively focuses on the Bible and all other majors.

Biola is not too big. None of the classes go above 30 students, and you don't become ignored. It is also unique in that it provides a Christian environment that isn't focused on rules. Students genuinely love God, and there aren't a ridiculous amount of rules forced on us.
