Biola University Reviews
The Profs are a hit and a miss. Some can barely teach and some inspire you to do better and have a personal connection with, it really depends. The same goes with the quality of the academics, it's a hit-and-miss between topic, class, and prof.
The bible classes are passable, but are more geared towards someone who has studied theology before, so it can be overwhelming if you are new to academic theology. Their mandatory nature limits academic exploration. Mandatory chapels also need to get reduced.
The caf is so hilariously bad, and the weekends are even worse. They put no effort (or spices, or flavor, or good ingredients) into the food that it's a toss up whether it is a tolerable level of gross to actually inedible.
Would I do it again? Possibly (mostly for the friends). I should have gone undeclared for a smoother ride.
