Motivated

1. Individualized attention – The size of Lake Forest College permits students to get to know their professors and peers allowing for strong mentorship throughout the student experience that helps students succeed academically and prepare for their future careers.
2. Strong community – Everyone is genuinely excited and passionate about being part of the greater Lake Forest College community.
3. Access to Chicago – Students have the best of both words with the opportunity to have a small campus learning experience while embracing the many personal and professional opportunities offered by living near the largest city in the Midwest.

Enthusiasm, motivation, and the eagerness to learn. I like when students have thought about what college means to them, what they want out of their college experience, and what courses, activities, and resources they will seek as they move through their education.

The College has a strong focus on the liberal arts tradition while also providing strong career preparation. The ability for students to have personal relationships with their professors, small class sizes, and the opportunity for internships in Chicago, provides students with the knowledge, support, and experiences necessary to be successful at Lake Forest College and in their future careers.

Think about the type of learning environment and community in which you find your greatest successes.

Never be afraid to ask a question. If the question is important for you to have answered, it is always worth asking.

The beach – especially early in the morning or later in the evening – the views are fantastic.
