Welcome To Our Self-Guided Tour!
There’s no right or wrong way to see 91¿´Æ¬Íø’s campus. It’s beautiful any time of the year, and our small size makes it easy for students to get around. We’ve put together a short self-guided walking tour with some notable locations for you to experience campus when it’s convenient for you. If you’re interested in a guided tour, please go to lakeforest.edu/visit and schedule a personal visit.
