Thank you both for your replies!!

The reason I’m looking at these schools is that
a. My parents will not let me go to a non-Christian school (long story there);
b. I have made the decision that I would like to graduate with as little debt as possible (hopefully completely debt free), especially since I would like to attend graduate school (possibly medical school);
c. I like the range of academic programs offered by all three of these colleges, as well as their relatively small size and respectively locations. I especially liked the sense of community I got when I read about them. My school has sent people to all three of these schools in the past, and based on the information I’ve received from my counselor, they looked good - now I’m in the digging-deeper stage

I’m not necessarily trying to aim at schools where I would be a big fish in a small pond - I would love to go to a school that would really challenge me (but high-ranking secular schools are out of the questions due to section a) but I would like to be at a place where I feel comfortable and have some people who “get” me. I don’t mind Biola’s code of conduct, but if it’s too stressed out, religion-focused an atmosphere, it might not be my place.
