Morgan's Video

Morgan Morini wanted to test herself and see if she could move to the South and make it living far away from home. The answer? A resounding YES! The Boston area native enrolled at CCU after a ringing endorsement from a close friend. But no matter how positive the recommendation, it takes a motivated and strong person to travel to a different part of the country and leave family behind. Luckily, Morgan fits the bill.

“If I had to describe myself in one word, I would say ambitious,” reveals Morgan. “I am definitely a go-getter and I am always up for a challenge.”

Challenges accepted by Morgan during her time at Coastal include undertaking two minors in addition to her communication major and serving as the president of CCU’s Phi Sigma Sigma chapter. Despite her increased academic load, Morgan plans to graduate a semester early next December.

“Coastal has really changed my life and opened a lot of doors for me,” explains Morgan about her time as a Chanticleer.

One door that was always open to begin with was the one that led back home. After she graduates, Morgan wants to return to the city she describes as a “huge love” ­– Boston. It is her plan to live near the people she cares about the most and obtain a real estate license. But before she heads back North, we are happy to welcome Morgan back for one final semester.

Morgan is from Foxborough, Mass.
