In his 1957 novel On the Road, Jack Kerouac had this to say about Los Angeles, "It's their one and only golden town when all is said and done: ...stucco houses and palms and drive-ins, the whole mad thing, the ragged promise land, the fantastic end of America."

LA's got just about anything you could want, from a major metropolitan city: world-class museums, gourmet restaurants, sunny beaches, premier shopping, great concerts, championship sports teams and one of the most culturally diverse settings in the world. The great thing about Biola is that it's located in a quiet little neighborhood about twenty minutes south of LA, so you get the best of both worlds-a safe living environment and an opportunity for adventure and culture. Enough activity to keep even the most restless scholar occupied.
