Field Trip #1 ‐ Campus Trail

On January 19th, 2011 my Colloquium class went on an off campus field trip to a nature trail that FGCU provides for its’ students. At first, I was a little skeptical about this trip because of what I’ve heard, but it turned out to be very nice and educational. I learned a lot about our eco-system and why plants and trees act certain ways. It’s extremely interesting how a couple of feet can do to the positioning and living choices trees and plants need to survive in the forest. I think I enjoyed everything about this trip, and our campus is just beautiful. I didn’t know our school was this interesting and caring about the environment. It makes me feel special that my school is one of a few schools that is sustainable in many ways. Lastly, I thought having to take Colloquium because it was required was just absolutely crazy. Now, I believe everyone should and need to take this course because it honestly does make one a better person all around.
