What is your favorite thing about Lake Forest College?

My favorite thing about Lake Forest College is the close-knit community. I love being able to find familiar faces anywhere I go! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

What is the single most important thing you learned during New Student Orientation?

The most important thing I learned during New Student Orientation was how to navigate campus and where all the buildings were, as well as where my classes were for the first semester. This made the first day of classes much less intimidating.

What is one piece of valuable advice that you would tell an incoming student to Lake Forest College?

I would tell incoming students that the support systems available on campus--like office hours, the QRC, the Writing Center, and more--are invaluable. Definitely take advantage of the opportunities provided on campus!

I am part of the Women's Tennis Team, Future Health Professionals club, Animal Rights Alliance club, and a Richter Scholar.

My favorite meal in the dining hall is the pasta bar!
