This is great! You hardly ever see illustration on university sites. It even follows Web Standards -- but it fails Section 508 validation ... a little. Awesome job and thanks for the link to the development info.
Nice catch (on Stylegala). I see they have also popped up on a whole slew of gallery sites in the last few weeks. Good for them. Just remember, you saw it here first ;)
I love the look, it's really refreshing to see a college/university pushing past the same-old-thing. It's super trendy, which means a redesign (realignment?) soon enough - but if that's part of their regular schedule anyway, that's not a big deal.

Tight design with great illustration. Fantastic job!
I just came across this blog post by Dave Lowe, one of the web developers involved in the project, describing the Biola Undergrad site project:

Really original. Can't remember seeing a higher-ed site with this much personality. Great work.
Wow! Outstanding!
Great use of texture.
This is an amazing piece of art!
Great art, but it takes lots of real estate.
This site got on as news on Stylegala.

Very nice design
I just wanted to throw in that this is the greatest designed Higher Education site on the web for Prospective Students that I've seen.
Personality and character: isn't that what all higher ed sites should have? This one takes the cake!
Nice but reminds me too much of http://www.toucouleur.fr/ perhaps that's where the inspiration came from?
Nice design. What CMS was used to manage the content?
