Maddy: Nearly half of Morris graduates have studied abroad in countries like Hungary, Argentina, and England. I could go to Brazil this summer with my soccer team, but Iâm already going to China for study abroad around the same time. Trips can be academic or athletic, but the professors and staff always make an effort to connect us to the world outside of Morris, Minnesota. Brittaney: Iâm an anthropology major so my study abroad in China this summer will be amazing on a lot of different levels. Iâll see the real lives of families in Beijing and rural areas. And Iâm only a freshman! I have four whole years to do more things like this.

Lisa: Morris is like my study abroad. Iâve met people from different cultures. Iâve participated in organizations that focus on awareness. I go to dances featuring music from various cultures. Sabauon: I was born in India, but I am of Afghan descent, and I grew up in The Netherlands. So coming to the small town of Morris was a drasticâbut pleasantâchange. Everyone here knows your name. Everyone I meet becomes a friend. At Morris, itâs easy to build your community without even trying. Kathy: Iâm from a small town, so I always pictured myself going to school in the city. But now Iâm here and I love it. The town of Morris isâwell, itâs like a quirky, lovable friend. I never feel like Iâm just a college student. I really live in a community.
