An Individual Visit

To fully appreciate how Lake Forest College can nurture your intellectual and social growth we recommend spending at least a half-a-day with us during the week.  We can begin in the morning or early afternoon.  Please let us know how much time you can spend with us.

An ideal visit will let you see the College from various points of view, including: 

• touring campus with a student guide;
• visiting a class;
• chatting with a faculty member;
• interviewing with an admissions counselor;
• eating lunch in our dining hall; and
• possibly meeting with an athletic coach.

For students also interested in the sciences, we offer a tour specifically of the science facilities.

We are also open a limited number of Saturdays throughout the year.  A Saturday visit includes a conversation with an admissions counselor and tour of campus.Notes on Saturday Visits:
