Fifth-graders get glimpse of college life at UW-Green Bay Phuture Phoenix program

Setting your own schedule, living in an apartment and walking around campus were among the things about college life that excited fifth-graders who visited the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Thursday.

"This is so cool," said Valerie Greetan, who attends Oconto Falls Elementary School and spent the day on campus with about 500 other fifth-graders as part of Phuture Phoenix Day, the annual program aimed at helping young people think about education after high school.
