Campus Life

Our dining hall has amazing food as well as we have multiple mini cafes around campus so you can always find something to eat!

When I started at Lake Forest as a freshmen, I would have given the food and dining 5 stars. However, Lake Forest has now signed a contract with Aramark and renovated the cafeteria, which has changed things. Although the cafeteria looks better, food quality has decreased, and lines have increased. The food is still much better than most what most college cafeterias have to offer, however the lack of variety and become monotonous and the lines irksome.

Aramark's food quality varies. Some days, the Caf serves what seems like restaurant-quality fare (made-to-order Reubens, pasta creations, and stir fry), and some days you're greeted with pizzas, burgers, and fries. To be fair, there is always an excellent salad bar and wrap line, and sushi and other food can be purchased with a meal plan outside of cafeteria hours in the student center. In general, food is very fresh. Students sign up for an on-campus meal plan that includes a certain number of allotted meals per week and some flex dollars. These can be spent at a number of cafe and convenience store locations on campus. On the whole, the food at Lake Forest is significantly better than most other college cafeteria food that I've tried.

The cafeteria was just recently re-done and has been given a new aesthetically appealing design. Many of the food options are custom made to order which is a nice option for picky eaters or those with special dietary needs. There is a lot of variety and one can always find something appetizing to eat.

The food is AMAZING!!! The is absolutely the best, there are vegan ad vegetarian options and there is something new everyday and plenty of crowd favorites.

The dining experience at Lake Forest is pretty good. There is always something that I end up finding appealing and themed food nights add a little excitement to a busy student's life. On Sundays there are usually less options because the kitchen is getting ready for the week but other that that it is great. Also, there is a smaller cafe called Boomer's where sushi and other options are served regularly.

Forget freshman fifteen, it was more like thirty. Remembering my self control did not come easy, but I learned that there were many healthy options available if you know where to find it. Veggie options too!

The Caf as it's called has amazing food! It's by far one of the best cafeteria's (as determined by not only us, but by visiting students from other schools). There is also Boomers - a small to-go cafe, the POD - a small food store, along with cafe's in the library and two dorm buildings.

The food is good, but meals do repeat. Oh well, this is college.

One of the best things about the college. The food here is amazing and is constantly taking complaints or concerns from the student body to better themselves. Wait until you meet Ruben, Omelet Master Chef.

About 15% of our students are involved in Greek Life so we are not a Greek or go home kind of campus, so if you interested we have it, and if you're not, then you do not feel left out.

Greek life is big at Lake Forest College. However, many complain that it is pointless because as 1,500 students attend, you don't meet anyone new. Also, Lake Forest Does not house anyone in sorority's or fraternity's separately.

Greek life here is not nearly as ubiquitous as it is at some other schools. Only about 20% of people at Lake Forest are Greek, and the city banned the use of fraternity houses, so frat parties here are basically nonexistent.

There are four different sororities and two different fraternities. There are no historically black or other minority greek organizations, unfortunately. Although there are not a lot of different Greek organizations like other schools about 45% of the campus belongs to one of the Greek organizations that we do have.

Greek life is lively and fun but not nearly as competitive or scary as it is in other schools. Very few are turned away and there are no designated housing spots for frats or sororities.

Greek life is a small part of LFC. While it's fun for all Greeks, it not necessary to have a good time on campus. Greeks have their own lounges but no houses due to Lake Forest City housing rules.

Greek life is amazing. There aren't many fraternities and sororities but they are all quite exceptional.

No crazy frat parties here. Mostly a way to meet new people while doing something good for the community.

I hear the greek life is normal

Lake Forest offers on campus fraternities and sororities for students who are interested.
