First-Year Residential Experience
Introducing the First-year Orientation and Residential Experience for Student Transformation. The FOREST at Lake Forest College aims to introduce all students to a rich and vibrant campus community.
Residence Life
Beyond enjoying the convenience of living and learning in the same space, students who choose to live on campus get more from their college experience. Growth happens when students actively contribute to the life of the College, engage in learning outside of the classroom, and develop life-long friendships! When a hall becomes your home, the possibilities are limitless.
