Things I love about Biola || The Community.

Every college that I toured told me the same thing.

“At [insert college], there’s such a great sense of community.” Every school boasted of how great their students are and how unique their community is. Now, there very well may be awesome community at all of those schools. I saw it at many of them. However, Biola was the first place that I truly felt it.

Coming here has been no different. As I mentioned in my orientation week post, I definitely have a sense of belonging. People care about you. People that don’t even know you. Professors that I had just met prayed for my semester. It’s fantastic.

On the second day of classes, I was walking across campus at about 7:45 am. Under the bell tower, I see three guys. One of them has a guitar and is playing softly. The other two are praying for each other. All this before 8 am on a Thursday. For some of you, that’s no big deal. But let me tell you, you just don’t just see that everywhere.

I can’t wait to become even more involved in the Biola community. And, to other Biolans, let’s try not to take it for granted, yeah? We are so very blessed to be here.
