Why did you choose Lake Forest?

Have you participated in an internship?
Yes, my internship at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago provided great insight into the responsibilities and mission at the bank. Throughout my summer, I collaborated in a group setting, worked on an innovation pitch, and established friendships and connections. Overall, my soft and professional skill sets vastly improved.

What advice would you give to a student considering transferring to Lake Forest?
Do not be scared to come and visit campus! Everyone is friendly and will try to answer all your questions to the best of their ability!
