• Reason Why I Chose Biola: “I chose Biola because I felt it had a special place in my heart and I just felt it was home when I went on my official visit. My grandma worked at Biola for 20+ years and she happened to pass away right before I committed to Biola so I feel like the Lord had a big work in my decision when I did commit.”
