## Resource

Lake Forest College is setting a new enrollment record with 1,794 students this fall — the largest class in its 169-year history — fueled by its prime location near Chicago and Lake Michigan, strong affordability, and an impressive 97% post-graduation career or grad school placement rate. Ranked 14th nationally for career services by the Princeton Review and praised as a “best value college,” the school is also making it easier for local community college transfers to join. With a low faculty-to-student ratio, personalized mentorship, global student diversity, and new majors in neuroscience and AI, Lake Forest is proving that liberal arts colleges can be powerhouses for success — and the trend of rising applications shows this momentum isn’t slowing down.
