love it here

This is a great school for small town high school students. If you are low maintenance like myself then this is the place!

Morris is outstanding!!! Best people there in the world in my opinion! Lots of oppurtunities and everything here is very good! As far as the Dining hall, be creative with the food there. The TMC is also a great food area. Beautiful campus in the spring time!!

Idk a lot of people talk about morris being in the middle of nowhere, but it makes it so you need to focus on school. I like it here and am happy with my choice.

I walk here at night all the time and I have never felt safe doing that anywhere else. The kids here are so nice and the profs really care!! I love this campus so so so much. The food isn’t always great, but there is always something to eat!! I think Morris is what you make it and to me it’s perfect.

Love this campus it’s so beautiful in the fall. Everybody here is so kind and willing to help each other out. Easy to make friends and get involved in activities.

Morris is what you make it. If you have a positive attitude coming in and get involved in activities and meeting people you will have a great time! Weekends can sometimes be pretty quiet on campus, but it is helpful by encouraging you to spend more time doing your homework and studying. Lots of time to get involved in a variety of things on campus.

Love it here. Very strong Native American community here and even stronger LGBT+ presence. Super welcoming and a great community. Living in a small town isn't as bad as I thought and I've grown to love it.

Morris will prepare you for life after college - all you have to do is look for interesting opportunities and you will find tons of people who will help you achieve your goals and more!

Too small

The town is in the middle of no where. Also if your political views don't match up to everyone else's, you're basically an outsider.
Overall 1.4
Made a huge mistake coming here. The professors in my program were not supportive or encouraging. A few of them would stop class to ridicule my work in front of everyone. The campus and student population is welcoming only to those who have the same beliefs and opinions. I lost a lot of my confidence from being cut down by faculty and students.

No thanks

Morris is cheap, but as someone who’s main criteria for a college was how cheap it was, IT IS NOT WORTH IT! Unless you want to spend your 4 years in absolute misery, always sick with nothing to do and with an administration that clearly doesn’t care about you DO NOT GO HERE. Everything is always broken and the food sucks pretty bad.
Overall 1.8
If you are just here to get a good education for a reasonable price, than Morris is the best. If you are a republican, you are going to have to get good at bs-ing your way through GenEds, especially in the Humanities. If you dream of partying in college, dont go here. If you often want to get food past midnight, dont go here.

I didn't enjoy my time here at all. I have had a really hard time finding a job after college and it doesn't help that no one seems to know this school exists. It's such a small town and so far away from anything that it's very easy to feel isolated and lonely.
