Hi!
I am a french student and I have been accepted and awarded some pretty good scholarships from those schools but now I’d like to know what you think about them. Also, I want to major in Biology or Neuroscience.
I am not too familiar but do you mean Wheaton Illinois or Wheaton in Mass?
Wheaton Illinois!
No sorry it’s Wheaton College MASS
and Lake Forest College Illinois
Def wheaton if finances work out. It’s got a better location, is much better known, and is better in bio/neuro.
You will receive a good basic education from either, though Wheaton might offer more opportunity in its Science Departments.
Okay, so Wheaton is winning for the Academics.
What do you know about campus life at those schools?
Thank you for helping me 
I would check the website of these schools. I can’t say about Wheaton, but I think LF would see lots of students leave for the weekend. The figures should be on the site. LF is located in a very upscale suburb of Chicago.
Wheaton also has a cross-registrstion relationship with Brown, and belongs to a consortium with several other Massachusetts schools. Of note for a potential biology major, you can also do courses at the Boston Marine Studies Consortium.

Wheaton College in Massachusetts has a gender ratio of about 2/3 women to 1/3 men; so for social purposes that could be good if you’re male, not so good if you’re female.
Wheaton is closer to a beach (but water too cold to be swimmable, probably). Both would be cold in the winter. Not sure which one would be the windier!
Actually, Lake Forest is MUCH closer to nice beaches if that’s what you’re looking for. Lake Michigan is an inland sea with some stellar beaches not too far from Lake Forest.
@EllieMom As someone who lived in both places, beaches on the ocean are incomparable to beaches on the lake.
My kids—admittedly midwest born and bred—think ocean water is “sticky” and prefer the lakes. But I agree the waves and the wildlife do not compare to the ocean.
I don’t think of Lake Forest as a commuter college. I know a kid from our state (about an 8 hour drive away) who goes there, and he seems to have a thriving social life. He would hate a commuter college, and he appears to love LF.
Well I’d like to know more about the clubs and other opportunities
Could people who don’t know what they’re talking about stop making stuff up?
“Wheaton would be closer to a beach.” Uh, the town of Lake Forest is ON THE LAKE. You know what they call the strip of land on a lakefront that has sand? A beach.

Norton, Mass Beach (Falmouth/ Cape Cod probably) http://www.distance-cities.com/distance-norton-ma-to-falmouth-ma
Okay, sorry for the confusion.
For me, “beach” = ocean.
When we go to a lake, we don’t say we go to the beach.
But that may not be the case everywhere. (All my friends say “go up north” or “go to the lake” or “to the river” when it’s not the ocean; “the beach” is strictly ocean.)
So, I’ll rephrase: Wheaton, MA, is closer to the ocean. Lake Forest is on a lake.
I think that’s clear enough if OP was confused.
