A poor, tiny excuse for a college. With a student size of only 1,600 students, this joke of a 4-year school lacks any semblance of a proper college experience. Situated in the affluent suburb of Lake Forest, students are forced to live in outdated dorms and eat from a single centralized dining hall on an often-lifeless campus.
You better hope that you like the friends you make, because you're stuck with them. Greek life is abysmally tiny, while the rest of the student population devolves into social cliques like Student Athletes, Nerds, and International Students. One common type is spoiled kids with chips on their shoulders.
Even if the students were friendly to each other, there's no place to socialize since campus security shuts down all parties almost instantly. All other social events are usually a total disappointment, since the fascistic administration snuffed out all enjoyable things. Chicago is too far to get there in reasonable time either.
School spirit maintains an all-time low since the school is a pathetic D3 and has no traditions. Many students travel to other colleges to have fun, so keep Northwestern's tailgating in mind if you make the horrendous mistake of choosing LFC as your school.
Academics are as good as any state school but lacks variety of majors and programs. However, not every other college charges $40,000 per year for tuition.
LFC is a great place for those who like asking “What could have been?". Stay away from this scam of a college.

The dryest college in the county. If you'd like to burn away your money on tuition, this is the place. It's a very cold place with computers that are slow, printers that don't work, and the cafeteria is seperated by three gangs; Business, Graphic Design, and those kids that play kid card games. There's always that awkward moment where noobs of the college take your spot on the couch in the cafe, and they also ask how to turn on their computer. They kick you if you have a weak immune system against disease. Also known as Byer-cliffe. Plus, they have AIDS. Not the good kind. The bad kind. You can't take out any books from the library. There's also an IT guy named Joe who is probably the best staff person you'll meet. They have Canadian-Georgia teachers who know that it's a good thing for small favors. If you're coming in, you better have an ID. You may sprite yourself. They have professors with life long lessons to teach you. Summer semesters are killer when you have 16 weeks of work in 7 weeks. They have professors with Nigerian accents. Briarcliffe has almost never seen an asian or a Snow Day. Do you have off on Election Day? They don't. They don't ever have off until Thanksgiving or Christmas, and Christmas is because the semester ends before it. Welcome to the world of Briarcliffe.
Mike: Hey, don't you go to Briarcliffe College in Patchogue?
Nick: That depends. Did you see me sprite myself?
Mike: Yes?
Nick: Am I shivering cold in my jacket?
Mike: Yes?
Nick: Yes, I am from Briarcliffe.

A college student who lacks disposable income because he does not have a job, yet his parents pay for his tuition, his food, his rent, and really everything under the sun. The Starving College Student typically spends the stipend his parents give him on alcohol and/or drugs. The stereotype is that this student must resort to eating Top Ramen to survive, which may be true, but only because they spent their allowance on alcohol and drugs. These students also perform poorly in their college classes because, after all, they view higher education as a birthright and not an opportunity. These depraved individuals somehow do just enough to earn a Business Degree, having only learned "strong résumé words" at the expense of an actual education. Also referred to as the "Poor College Kid"
Grandma Beatrice: Aww Zacky honey, why don't you come over for dinner tomorrow night. I know you're a starving college student who would kill for a home cooked meal.
Zack: Thanks Grandma. I have been living exclusively off of Top Ramen. I'd love to come over for some prime rib. I will head over as soon as I edit my resume and lie about having leadership experience.

Abbreviated as HWC. A term coined to reflect the changing environments of many colleges and universities that either formerly or currently only accept cisgender women. Referring to something as an HWC can either mean that it's now co-ed, that their policies regarding gender non-conforming and nonbinary individuals are more relaxed, or as a way to recognize the fact that not everyone who attends a college branded as "a women's college" is necessarily a woman.
Students attending a Historically Women's College often end up owning multiple pairs of sandals.
Hollins is by far the best Historically Women's College!
