    Being a resident at Biola is a huge part of the college experience for me! I love living with friends in a community that is committed to moral excellence. Most students who live at Biola want to be here and have not been forced or manipulated to come, which makes resident life very fun. I'm enjoying it so much that I'm going to be an RA next year! read full review

    I attend the Torrey Honors Institute, a four-year program of reading and discussing the classics. It is a grounding in America's culture and thought and a means of discussing the good, the true, and the beautiful.

    All classes are taught by professionals in their fields, yet they care about the students and are always willing to spend time with us. read full review
