A town located about an hour North of Chicago, Illinois. The town was named for the college (Lake Forest College), which was built around the same time. Everything in Lake Forest is crazy expensive, even though most houses aren't that attractive. The people of Lake Forest generally believe they are better than everyone else.
I walked into Lake Forest High School trying to find the swim locker room but accidently walked into the lacrosse locker room.

An affluent suburb north of Chicago.The people that live in lake forest usually come form old/corrupt money and therefore strive for nothing in everyday life and their schooling except for dating around and "keeping it classy (which really means act like whore/ d-bag you are but don't let too many people find out, because that would be just so not classy)".Lake Forest hides the fact that it has the highest teen drinking and drug rate in America and that if it's people weren't considered rich they would be called trash. In the past 3 months 4 kids have committed suicide (and of course it didn't make local news) because they were tormented by the kids and the suffocating atmosphere at Lake Forest High School. Lake Forest residents refuse to think that maybe their bigotry leads to humble people's demise and instead sob dishonestly about the "friends" they've lost. The guys that live in Lake Forest are far from charming but their money and preppy colored clothing attracts the dumb whores who infest the town whom are raised from birth to look for their potential husbands so they can comfortably stay in their historical roles of stay-at-home moms. People in Lake Forest call themselves "beautiful" when in fact many are walking the line of average and they all look the same. Overall, Lake Forest is a true white trash town (excluding the token black guy).
Person 1: Hey dude, you wanna go to Lake Forest to get some grub?

Person 2: Nah! A sandwich costs like $10 there and besides I wouldn't fit in if ya know what I mean.

Person 1: trust me I know what your sayin dude! Those people are living on cloud 9.

Lake Forest is a large town on the North Shore. Many people who live in this town think they are the richest on the North Shore, and cannot accept the fact that they are obviously not. I live on the North Shore, and I have definitely seen the town of Lake Forest, the residents, the stores, and the homes. I know for a fact that it is NOT the richest town on the North Shore, let alone the richest town in the country. In fact, Lake Forest is the 3rd richest town on the North Shore, not the 3rd richest town in the country. Kenilworth and Winnetka rank higher for various reasons. Lake Forest people generally forget to acknowledge the fact that New Trier (which is where most kids on the North Shore go to high school) is ranked MUCH higher than Lake Forest Academy, and the sad fact that Lake Forest is about a half-hour farther from the city, which is where many people on the North Shore work and/or shop.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of Lake Forest is rich, but a lot of Lake Forest is middle class, also. I don’t know why people in Lake Forest try to rub it in people's faces that they live on the North Shore. It really isn't that big of a deal, but they seem to want to let everybody think that they are ridiculously rich, when in reality; Lake Forest is NOT that fabulous.

So next time you read one of those false definitions about Lake Forest, or the North Shore (written by residents of Lake Forest) remember all of the true facts you have just read about.

Also notice the names of the people who wrote about the "perfection" (yeah right) of Lake Forest. That is so ridiculous, not to mention embarrassing.

Sorry, all you people who live in Lake Forest. You've got to face the facts. Some of you people just need to GET OVER YOURSELVES!

By the way, the definition written by richgirl1789 is total bullshit.

Pretty much the nicest town around, it has beaches, trees, views and big houses. So what if it's rich and white all the haters who say it's lame are just jealous because they live in ghetto shoreline. LFP is safe, nice, and you have the mall and beach clubs to keep you entertained.

A hella rich depressing town. Lots of trees so you lose power all the time. Posers and longboarders chill at LFP mall where there's not much going on. Go to Alderwood or Northgate, losers. Shitty lake views and all the forests give teens lots of places to smoke dope. Maybe not quite as many stoners as the Muk or Shoreline, but it's close.
Dude, let's go to Lake Forest Park mall!! There's so much to do!!!

Shut up poser, nobody likes you. Enjoy your shitty Civic Club and Third Place Books, I'm going to a real place.

the most ridiculous excuse for a town ever known to man kind. full of rich preppy kids and the "longboard crews". next to beautiful lake washington, but you can't go there unless you have a membership to one of the two beach clubs. the most interesting thing to do is to go to the town center where you can find most of the student population of kellogg middle school.
"hey, let's go to lake forest park"

"why the hell would we do that?"

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.

Job Recruiter: "Lake Forest College? Is that in California?"

Forester: "No, it's in Illinois"

Job Recruiter: 'Never heard of it, I'll have to look it up one day"

Forester: *Thinks about $40,000/year debt and regrets not attending a big state school*
