>> The biggest impact to me at Kansas State was -- well, one, going there --
but I didn't grow up in the area.
I grew up in Pennsylvania, went to Kansas State.
I was like shellshocked, you know, about just being in a different place, but, you know,
it really, you know, changed my life.
And I know they still do this in the design department, is that I was able
to leave school my first senior year in the architecture program, and I went --
and I came to Dallas, and I interned.
And, again, that was another life-changing thing for me because having that experience
in a real live office space and seeing what goes
on there is really totally different than what happens in school.
And it really gives you an idea of what's really going to happen when you graduate
and get that degree is what your life is probably going to be.
So that had a major impact on me, and I would recommend that for everybody.
