Interview: Biola and Chapel

I interviewed a student who was working at Biola, sophomore Riley. 

1. Should Biola require students to attend chapel? 
      Yes, because it is good edification. Students are busy with school and this chapel time is like a break from our studies to focus on God. Even though students may go to their own off-campus church on Sundays, this is additional practical application set apart from the heavy schedule of education.

2. Should there be consequences for not attending chapel? 
     Well, the fine that they recently started to enforce is maybe a little extreme. Consequences should not be that extreme. It depends on the situation because students should go to chapel willingly and from the heart.


3. Do you think that it is hard to meet the requirements for chapel at Biola?
     No, I was able to do it last year. It depends on the number of units and extra curricular activities a student is involved in. Biola should be more flexible and take into consideration the schedules of each student.
