First-year student and lacrosse player Liam Morgan likes a good challenge. He loves to prove doubters wrong. Case in point is his lacrosse playing and arrival at Transylvania University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Spring, Texas, from fourth grade until eighth, Morgan remembers how none of his friends or coaches thought much of his potential in the sport. By the ninth grade, he began to take their doubts as a personal challenge, fully committing himself to training and conditioning and to proving the doubters wrong.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m here now,\u201d Morgan says enthusiastically of being recruited by Transylvania. \u201cAnd this is probably one of the high points of my life. Lacrosse is my favorite sport. I\u2019ve loved it ever since I picked up a stick. I\u2019ve taken it this far and I don\u2019t want to stop.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan decided on Transy, he says, because of the \u201cawesome\u201d coaches and all of the players he met on his first college visit. \u201cI just liked the atmosphere of the school,\u201d he adds, and how welcoming everyone was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marketing major also chose Transy for the academics. When his GPA as a high school senior was a weighted 3.8, he thought to himself, \u201cwhy not challenge myself further?\u201d He wanted something rigorous, but also to be in a supportive community. He didn\u2019t want to struggle on his own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince I\u2019ve been here, all my professors have been very nice and helpful,\u201d he says. \u201cOverall, it\u2019s been a really good experience in their classrooms, because they\u2019re really outgoing. They\u2019re not just lecturing you, they\u2019re engaging with you.\u201d He also feels the readiness of his friends and teammates to be helpful in and outside of class.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHonestly, \u201cI\u2018ve never had a bad day here,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s just been an awesome experience so far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked to name some of the best things about the experience to date, he mentions the team, coaches and his roommate. The cafeteria isn\u2019t far behind. \u201cThe food is absolutely amazing,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a really cool atmosphere, too. They call it the Great Hall, which kind of reminds me of the Hogwarts from \u201cHarry Potter.\u201d The chefs are really nice. You can talk with them while they\u2019re making your food. It\u2019s a really good time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also mentions the advantage of being in the city of Lexington. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot to do and lots of businesses. And Transy has good relationships with companies,\u201d he notes. \u201cThey\u2019ll have job fairs and internships. And even though you\u2019re in college, you\u2019ll get experience. That will look good on a resume and in your portfolio.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for now, as his first semester unfolds, it\u2019s all about his new life at Transy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get into the groove of things, just get a rhythm going \u2014 going to class, getting something to eat, going to practice, coming home,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m just really excited to make this home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
