in your view  instead of    Html EditorFor model   gt  model Comments 0  Comment    just use    Html TextAreaFor model   gt  model Comments 0  Comment  5  1  null

Use data type  MultilineText     DataType DataType MultilineText   public string Text   get  set      See ASP NET MVC3 - textarea with  Html EditorFor

Another way   Html TextAreaFor model   gt  model Comments 0  Comment    And in your css do this  textarea       font-family  inherit      width  650px      height  65px      That DataType dealie allows carriage returns in the data  not everybody likes those
