• Reason Why I Chose Biola: “It was deeply important to attend a school that would support my spiritual growth. After a difficult recruiting journey, I prayed that if Biola was the right place, the door would stay open and I would feel the Lord’s confidence and joy when it came time to commit. That’s exactly what happened. God made His plans clear during that time of waiting, and I know He placed me here for a reason—this is an answered prayer for both me and my family.”
