Today the third graders went on a field trip to Utah State University. We walked from our school, then went on a mini tour of campus. The teacher made a questionnaire where we got to answer questions about the university and think about what we want to do when we grow up. When we were walking around, we saw different statues and buildings. We even got to go inside the TSC and see what it is like. It was fun seeing campus and what college is like. Here are some pictures:
