Any suggestions for a 101 introduction to random forests? In university I encountered some ML courses but never random forests.

Grab any ML book and read the chapter on random forests. If you have the maths background (which is not particularly high for random forests) which you should if you took ML courses, it’s all going to be pretty straightforward. I think someone already mentioned Hastie, The Elements of Statistical Learning, in this thread which you can download for free and would be a good start.
