Lake Forest College is a coeducational undergraduate institution located just 30 miles north of Chicago in the small city of Lake Forest, Illinois. One of the most beautiful suburbs on Chicago’s North Shore, Lake Forest provides a secure, supportive environment for the College. The beautiful 107-acre campus sits just a few blocks from Lake Michigan and is within walking distance of the train station and the shops, cafés, and restaurants of downtown Lake Forest.
At the heart of the College is the close-knit community of teachers, scholars, students, and staff representing cultures from around the globe who live, learn, and work together in an environment of mutual respect and collaboration. A national liberal arts college, Lake Forest prides itself on diversity, with students representing 45 states and 65 countries.

Academic discovery
“…A future biologist will have a broader mind and likely will be a more creative scientist if he or she has had a grounding in the humanities. And great value also will be received by a future journalist, economist, or business leader who has been exposed to the beauty and excitement of scientific discovery.”
—President Stephen D. Schutt

Lake Forest provides a superb traditional liberal arts education and does so in ways that are distinctive, even exceptional. Working side-by-side with distinguished faculty, students acquire a strong and lasting academic foundation in the classroom. The student-professor ratio is 12 to 1, and most classes have between 10 and 20 students, so students feel comfortable expressing their opinions or asking for help. Professors serve as advisors and mentors and share a fundamental goal of preparing students to become independent thinkers and responsible citizens of global communities.
The College offers strong research programs in all areas of the curriculum, and these programs are backed by first-rate laboratory facilities. Students and faculty members collaborate frequently on research projects often resulting in presentations at national conferences or published papers co-authored by student and faculty.
Lake Forest College has everything a superb liberal arts education requires, with the added value of Chicago nearby.

Addmission:
Greetings from one of the nation’s top colleges! Lake Forest is a community of 1,400 students and over 100 faculty who call the College home. We are active learners who go beyond the classroom experience and recognize engaged learning that may take the form of one-on-one research with faculty, study in a foreign country, an internship in a Fortune 500 Company, or independent study. Minutes from the shore of Lake Michigan and a mere 30 miles from the bustling metropolitan center of Chicago, the College seeks to attract students from around the world who are looking for that rare combination of a historically bucolic campus and the high-energy and cosmopolitan nature of the city.
We have high academic expectations of our prospective students, and value strong social and community engagement. Because of our size, a single student on our campus can enact change. We seek out those individuals who jump into life with both feet and want to actively participate in their education
