“I chose Morningside because I wanted to be close to home. I am really close with my brother and my grandparents and I wanted to be around in case they needed anything. Ultimately when I visited campus, I fell in love with the people and how it felt like home. I didn’t have the same feeling with the other schools that I visited.”
