Last weekend, the university organised a trip to the countryside for first-year students. The coach departed from the campus at half past eight in the morning and arrived at Greenfield Park just after ten o’clock. During the visit, students took part in team-building activities, enjoyed a picnic lunch, and explored the local nature trails. At the end of the day, everyone gathered near the lake for a group photograph before returning to the city.
