Lake Forest College Top Questions

This is a small school, with very small classes. If you want big classes and thousands of people at your school, then this is not the right place.

Somebody who does not enjoy writing a lot of papers and staying on top of their work. It is not a school where you can coast through the entire semester and then cram for a test because there is too much material and A LOT of reading!

Someone who is close-minded and does not want to experience diversity; I'm pretty sure Lake Forest is the most diverse school in the nation, and I have learned as much from students as I have from my teachers, if not more. You will be better off if you know what you want, because most of the time, the college can give it to you. If you are not independent and you like conforming, this is not the school for you, though if you like a tight nit group of friends, this is the place for you.

Someone who is unmotivated or dependent without the will/drive to change or challenge him/herself, but then again, this probably applies for any school.

I have yet to meet someone at this college who isnt nice to strangers on the average day. So if that doesnt describe you, then you shouldnt go.

Someone shouldn't attend this school if they want a big school with a lot of people. Lake Forest is very tight-nit and you have the opportunity to get to know a lot of people.
