Harrison Lecture: Jason Long
,
CAAD at MSU was one of the few in the United States to offer architecture as an undergraduate degree. Also, it wasn't too far from home, and the campus itself was beautiful and welcoming.

Just continue what you’re doing and don’t second guess yourself.
I chose CAADatMSU because MSU has a pretty great architecture program. I have wanted to be an architect since I was in middle school. When I interviewed at Mississippi State, I was offered an amazing scholarship, Provost Scholars.
When I am not in Giles, I like to sit under a tree near the Union or the MSU Library.
School ranking on websites doesn't mean anything.
I’ve known that I wanted to be an architect since I first learned how to draw back in second grade. I learned about CAAD from a friend, and since I love designing, as well as being a Bulldog fan, I knew this was going to be the place for me.
The top floor in the Mitchell Memorial Library is always a go-to spot for me, especially after picking up something to eat from Einstein Bagels.
I chose CAADatMSU because the school was ranked top 25 in architecture schools, and I loved the studio environment of Giles.
My favorite spot on campus is Chapel of Memories as it is the most peaceful place to listen to the water while sitting and enjoying lunch or sketching.
My first visit to MSU, I truly felt at home. I was immediately inspired by the College of Art and Design and knew that this would be my place to grow and learn. I knew that this would be where I could do what I love while also being my perfect step into becoming a professional.
My favorite spot on campus is the water pools at the Chapel of Memories. It is exceptionally peaceful for whenever I need a place to pray, study, or think.
I chose CAADatMSU because I felt like it was the program that fit me the best. After touring a few architecture schools around the southeast, I began to realize that I felt the most “at home” at CAAD and at Mississippi State. It’s a really hard feeling to describe, but something just felt right, and I could see myself being successful here.
My favorite spot on campus is the Left Field Lounge in Dudy Noble.
