Welcome To Our Self-Guided Tour!
There’s no right or wrong way to see Lake Forest College’s campus. It’s beautiful any time of the year, and our small size makes it easy for students to get around. We’ve put together a short self-guided walking tour with some notable locations for you to experience campus when it’s convenient for you. If you’re interested in a guided tour, please go to lakeforest.edu/visit and schedule a personal visit.
