Wednesday afternoon USP Pirassununga campus tour




Wednesday we went for a campus tour starting at 6:00. The Pirassununga campus is the largest campus by size but the smallest campus by number of students (only about 800). They have a lot of farm land and a lot of animals: horses, cows, buffalo, sheep, etc. There are only two departments: Aninal Science and Food Technology. We went to the barn to see the horses. Then we went to the on-campus swimming hole where we met some students (can you read the sign by the water?). Then we stopped at a Jabuticaba tree. This is a funny tree because the fruit grows out from the trunk and the branches. Looks a little like a cherry but tastes a lot different.
