Aid

Financial aid is amazing. My EFC is "0" and I hardly have to pay for anything. They have great need base aid and merit aid. Plus the aid office is amazing and friendly.

Happy Overall

Overall, I am satisfied with my experience here at Lake Forest College. The small campus allows you to get to know people very well and make you feel like more than just a number. You really get a chance to know your teachers and they push you to succeed.

Very Diverse

Regardless of what class you are in or what dorm you live in, there is diversity everywhere. The amount of foreign students that I have come in contact with is far greater than any other school I have seen or visited.
