About this video

Our Open to Wonder video is mostly an auditory and visual video, with minimal narration. We want to give you a real feel for campus life, and what a day on campus might be like.

If you are unable to watch the video, our descriptions below will explain what each scene shows. We have included image previews to give some of you a flavour for what's being shown on the screen too. If you can't see these, the description for these images is in the text below.
