Lake Forest made it a priority to answer any questions that I had during my application process unlike other schools I applied to. This showed how much they value transfer students like myself.

Transferring amidst the pandemic was extremely smooth and I felt welcomed.
What do you like best about Lake Forest College?
Lake Forest College makes sure students are taken care of by any means. This includes making sure I have all of the supplies I need to succeed in my classes and have a support group that I could turn to for guidance.
What advice would you give to a student considering transferring to Lake Forest?
Transferring is a big step in anyone's educational career so make sure you talk to students that have done it already. Please feel free to reach out to me to get more information from the perspective of a student that was once in your shoes.
