An Individual Visit
Summer Note:  From June through August we offer tours at 10:00 and 1:00.  We typically offer both a tour with a student and a conversation with an Admission Counselor during the summer months.  If you can, we also recommend a return visit during the normal academic school year.

To fully appreciate how Lake Forest College can nurture your intellectual and social growth we recommend spending at least a half-a-day with us during the week.  We can begin in the morning or early afternoon.  Please let us know how much time you can spend with us.

An ideal visit will let you see the College from various points of view, including: 

• touring campus with a student guide;
• visiting a class;
• chatting with a faculty member;
• interviewing with an admissions counselor;
• eating lunch in our dining hall; and
• possibly meeting with an athletic coach.

For students also interested in the sciences, we offer a tour specifically of the science facilities.

We are also open a limited number of Saturdays throughout the year.  A Saturday visit includes a conversation with an admissions counselor and tour of campus.

You can schedule your visit requst online from this site or by calling our visit coordinator at 847-735-5002.

Scheduling a Group Visit
Many schools and organizations like to make Lake Forest College part of their college preparatory program.  We are glad to welcome groups and can provide short presentations on the college admissions process and how students can ready themselves for college. We also offer group tours, and can provide lunch options.  We ask that you complete our Group Visit Request Form, and we will be back in touch with the details of your visit.  You can also contact the Group Visit Coordinator directly at 847-735-5000.
