The Biola (Bible Institute Of Los Angeles-founded 1908) Campus in La Mirada California is a beautiful place to visit, even if you're not planning to become a student. The creek that goes through campus swells up to a wild river when it rains, which is usually only in the winter. The library with the round lantern as identifier, is a must visit building, note that when you enter it says "I am the light of the world" but when you leave, enlightened by your studies, it says "YOU are the light of the world" Both are Bible verses, John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14 respectively.

As a parent, I'm always struck by the caliber of kids that choose this school. I've visited several colleges, but I've never seen such a great group of young people, happy, friendly, caring and helpful. I would say these kids are engaged with what is going on around them, and not lost in their phones or their thing. I thank God every day my daughter chose this school!

This university needs Jesus. I have seen too much. I was a student at BIOLA until over a year ago I decided to leave. There is a specific 'BIOLA mold' that you have to fit, otherwise you will not fit in at all. you have to be evangelical (even though they allow all denominations to attend). If you are not white, or at least act like you are white, then you will not fit in at all. They have an annual SCORR (student congress on racial reconciliation) conference, but the students think that we should pretend that there is no race and that there is only one race (the human race). but don't realize that people of difference races experience life and the world differently. The one thing that bothers me the most is that they will allow pretty much anyone in for a chapel speaker. Kind of like TBN allows pretty much anyone on there channel. Each person is pointing in a different direction saying, "the right way is this way". And they have become so worldly. One good example is concerning their view on LGBT rights. Many years ago, mid twentieth century, they would not hesitate to hire coloured staff and faculty, in fact they would do it despite the many people that were strongly against it. But now they are extremely ambiguous about their view on LGBT people. I have many other things to say, but they are too personal. If you are considering going to this school and are not straight, white (or are greatly influenced by the white culture), evangelical, or between 17 and 21 years old, you should seriously pray about it. God did many amazing things for me there, but none of them had to do with the people there. He showed me His presence and His power and His love, but not through the Bible classes, not through the faculty/staff, not through the students. Many of the bible classes were too vague and required that your Bible be a textbook. Other biblical/theological classes don't even address the love, power, grace, peace, freedom of Jesus Christ. The faculty/staff are really hit or miss, but having personal conversations with some of them I noticed that they either focus on reason or they have strange views that they also teach in their classes. The students are neglectful in my opinion, they probably don't usually intend to be, but it truly is hard when you have a test or essay due in 4-6 different classes. It really bothers me that, just before I left, there was an announcement about a certain speaker who was coming back and how after they were here about 6 years before, that an almost revival occurred and lasted for a few weeks. The way they talked about this was very positive and the response was also very positive. I'm not sure what an almost revival is, but I do know this: My God never does anything almost.....
