Hi everyone,

I’m a rising junior living in Germany (born in Africa, grew up in China, currently attending a boarding school in Germany, US citizen). I’ve recently started researching colleges and I feel like these three match most of my criteria.
For those who have some experience/information about these colleges, I would like to ask:

1. What is the financial aid situation? I know that Azusa Pacific offers full-tuition scholarships, and Wheaton also offers large-scale scholarship as well Biola - but do any of them offer any additional funds to make it up for a full-ride, or anywhere close?

2. How are the academics in Azusa Pacific and Biola? I've heard that Wheaton is highly regarded in that aspect, but how do people perceive Azusa Pacific and Biola? I am especially interested in how medical schools perceive these schools (as well as how they perceive having attended a Christian school in general).

3. About Biola - just how strict is it, and just how "Christian" are the students? Would a rather liberal Christian student feel comfortable in this environment?

4. How would a Black / Third Culture Kid student feel in any of these schools?

If anyone has any suggestions for colleges that could be good, I’d love to hear it!

Thank you!!
