Jordan

This university provides a high quality educational experience at an approachable price point. The value of small class sizes cannot be overstated, and building relationships with professors opens up doors to research and creative opportunities which are rarely available to undergraduate students.

Michelle

I've really enjoyed my time at Morris. The small town environment is really nice, and all of the people are very close. Professors are very easily accessible outside of class, and courses are made easier by the student-run PAL sessions and walk-in tutoting. The only downfall to Morris is the weaker sports teams and the lack of off-campus activities/social atmosphere.

Makayla

The University of Minnesota-Morris is a small, tight-knit community that boasts intimacy between facility and students fostering unlimited educational opportunities. Students and facility alike learn from each other and promote campus-wide discussions about academia, current events, or anything else that might hold some appeal with guest speakers, professors giving nighttime/weekend lecture/discussions, and other cultural events. This institution is a melting pot of cultural diversity with something for anyone!

Tririna

I think that the University of Minnesota-Morris is a pretty great school. It has small class sizes which enables me to interact with my professor personally and get to know them better. I also was able to work with my classmates nicely as well. I wish there were more shops and services surrounding the area, but I guess the school cannot do something about that.

  4. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    Morris is a really small campus, but despite this I think that I am getting as good of an education as at the Univeristy in the Twin Cities. Also Morris has a giant wind turbine within walking distance of the school, not many other campuses can say the same. Morris felt like home to me as soon as I toured campus, even during the dead of winter. I haven't met any people who are mean or vincitive like in High School which is refreshing.

  5. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    In high school concentrate on learning everthing that you can. Don't worry about your grades, what you learn is more important. Also, get involved, join a club or sport because this allows you to experience things. You only live life once so take every opportunity handed to you and live it to the fullest. Finally get out of your comfort zone and talk to people, volunteer, you'll be amazed by what better person you'll become and a better world yoiu'll make.

  6. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    It might not be the main University of Minnesota, but it is definitally not a school where you can get away with never doing any work. UMM requires dedication, class attendance, and hard work. UMM does not offer atheletic scholarships, and that could be a key point in defining where you go to school. I've also been told the pre-nurse program is not as strong as other programs offered at UMM.

  10. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school would probably have to be nothing associated with UMM itself, but rather the fact that since it is located in Morris, it is a very small town and there is not much to do or places to go off campus. Why I consider this negative is because on the weekends when you want to spend time with your friends, it could be difficult thinking of something when not a lot of choices are provided in the first place.

  12. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about the school is its western location. There are always lots of activities via the University, but if you're not used to also making your own fun, students may find a lack of social outlets. Its at least a half hour drive to the next biggest town.
