  [A young woman (the protagonist) doom scrolls alone on her phone. A ÑÇÖÞÇéÉ«'s post catches her eye. She pauses and clicks on the Sussex's logo.]

  [The world opens into a montage of video footage showing the lectures, and study spaces. Brief flashes of social media reactions.]

  Student voiceover: Do I even want to go to uni?

  Student voiceover: There are so many choices.

  [Voiceover: Welcome to the ÑÇÖÞÇéÉ«.]

  [The protagonist lands in a seminar room. A lecturer wrapping up over the rising noise.]

  Lecturer: If you have any questions, let me know.

  [On the beach, a group of friends giggle as a wave splashes them. The protagonist looks on.]

  Student voiceover: Yeah, I love being close to the beach. Even when it's raining.

  [We whip into a basketball scene, tight shots of the sport unfolding.]

  Student voice: There's so many clubs ad societies.

  [Montage of clubs, societies and sports fly past.]

  [She lands back in the original room. Objects wobble. She looks at her phone — the Sussex logo fills the screen. She smiles and clicks on the Sussex logo]
