Last Sunday, the Student Union arranged for 30 students a tour of a local farm located in the northern suburbs, about 40 kilometers away from the downtown area.

As soon as the charter bus arrived at the farm, all the visitors couldn’t help marveling at its spectacular landscape, especially the vast expanse of fertile farmland. The first destination was a cowshed, where the students learned how to milk a cow, though only a few were brave enough to have a try. They were obviously more interested in the store outside selling various dairy products. Then there came the highlight of the trip: strawberry picking. Everyone had fun tasting fresh, juicy strawberries right after picking them. Finally, the students entered a small exhibition hall, getting to know how the farm was built from the scratch and is run nowadays with the help of advanced agriculture machinery.

This activity is in fact part of a larger project launched by our school this year to expose college students to all walks of life, thereby helping them develop a clear career plan.
