I’m from Lake Forest too and that wasn’t my impression at all. I met a lot of students and they all were normal. But no one from LFHS went there.

Did you go to Lake Forest High School or Lake Forest Academy? Approximately when did you graduate?

I am firm Lake Forest. Only the worst students went to college there and it was not even on their wish lists. No self-respecting person would go there.

I’m sad to hear that. I went to Northwestern and visited Lake Forest College a few times. If nothing else, it’s situated on what has to be the most expensive property on the Chicago Northshore.

I agree, it is a little sad. I think it's an amazing location for a liberal arts college. I wonder if Northwestern would ever consider purchasing the campus for some sort of satellite liberal arts campus or something... but that's probably completely unfeasible lol.

I wonder why? I just looked it up and it’s listed as #37 on the “100 most innovative” college lists.

I thought it was a mall?

Gorgeous town and school right on the lake. I hope my youngest considers it.

And being in Lake Forest, it has to be one of the safest campuses in the country!

Yes.

in illinois?

Where did you go to high school? does your DD go to the same school?

Lake Forest College was really a hot school for east coast kids when I was applying to colleges. No one in DC really seems to talk about it. I suggested it to my DD and she never heard of it.
