A Los Angeles-area landmark of religious education

Private Suburban Historic Walkable Selective Christian

Established in 1908 as the Bible Institute Of Los Angeles (BIOLA, for short), the college now known as Biola University has developed into one of the leading Christian institutions in southern California. The school is known for holding mandatory student conferences each semester, covering everything from missionary activity, spiritual growth, and media.

Biola’s campus is situated in the city of La Mirada, a mostly residential suburb of Los Angeles just off Interstate 5. The huge La Mirada Community regional park is practically right next door to the university, providing a beautiful greenspace perfect for relaxing in your free time. The surrounding neighborhoods offer many apartments, condos, and houses within a short walk of campus, and nearby shopping centers to the northwest and southeast are within walking distance for many as well. Downtown LA is only 16 miles away, making it easy to take advantage of the best the city has to offer.
