<p>I’ve visited and know some people who go to Biola and it’s a great school. Academically, it depends on your major. For example, their journalism program, I’ve heard, is up-and-coming while some of their sciences are not as well known (probably influenced by the evolution vs. creation debate.)
As for being Christian, the atmosphere is very much so, not just in the rules and regulations, but their faith is very important to much of the student body. For example, they play Christian radio in the dorm bathrooms and I talked to a guy in the cafeteria about how he felt God led him to Biola.</p>
