Why I chose Minnesota Morris: "When I was first doing college campus tours, I had one main thought in my mind, “Does this feel like home?” That was what I was looking for when I first started my search. When I came to Morris for a tour, I knew almost immediately that this was the campus for me. I've always preferred smaller communities compared to big cities and Morris fit that bill rather nicely. I had also heard through good word-of-mouth that the education program was top notch, which made my choice even easier."
