Answer 1

so I figured it out, I believe this is a problem with bootstrap imported to a ASP.NET MVC5 project. The answer is easy though. Just set CSS too

    max-width: 1000px;
    width: 1000px;

That fixes it for all datatypes. Textarea, input, etc.

Changed my answer to reflect on a comment posted. Use percentages rather then px to keep responsiveness. The CSS should be:

    max-width: 100%;
    width: 100%;

**** UPDATE 8/29/2016 ****

This was fixed with Bootstrap 3. Add the class form-control which applies the above styling

     @Html.TextAreaFor(x => x.Note, new { @class = "form-control", rows = "3" })
