Morris is a charming, compact college town (University of Minnesota Morris) that makes multi-week stays comfortable—affordable rentals, a friendly community, local cafes, seasonal cultural events, and easy access to lakes, parks and trails give you plenty to do between shifts without feeling stuck.
When you want bigger-city options, Alexandria and Willmar (both under 75 miles) provide extra dining, shopping and weekend-entertainment choices for a livelier night out or a quick escape.
