I chose CAADatMSU because of the hands-on type of learning. The other schools I toured all taught with online simulations, but being a hands-on learner, I felt more intrigued by the programs offered here at MSU.
Favorite spot on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is the Drill Field. I love seeing all the buildings around the perimeter, and it’s such an open space for hanging out or studying.

I saw the different opportunities that our many programs had available. I also saw how immersive the Building Construction Science Program was. The idea of a studio instead of a lecture class for learning was a more ideal situation for me as a student.
Favorite spot on campus?
The Chapel of Memories.
If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be.
Don’t stress about everything. It will all work out in the end.

Building Construction Science Third-Year Studio Fall 2019 Field Trip: Nashville
Twenty-nine third-year Mississippi State University building construction science students visited Nashville, Tennessee, from Sept. 7-12, 2019.
They visited jobs sites with Brasfield and Gorrie General Contractors, Hoar Construction, Turner Construction Company and Yates Construction.
The companies showed the students the construction sites and provided insight on operations. The visit helped students to further connect what they are learning in studio – scheduling, safety procedures and estimating.
