Get ready to sing some nonsense words, because today we're taking a look at the University of Redlands. You'll know what we're talking about soon enough. Oh, and make sure to wear sunscreen. Otherwise your skin may end up the same color as the lands out here.

Dayump dayadee yahoo! [Dog in Redlands jacket talking]
- 00:09
Welcome! And thank you for your interest in the University of Redlands.
- 00:13
No, no…I didn’t just have a weird sneeze attack, thank you for asking.
- 00:17
That’s part of the Och Tamale chant…it’s how we cheer here.

Who needs English, when you can make up your own words, right? [Girl shouting random words in a library]
- 00:24
Yep, we’re like the Lewis Carroll of colleges.
- 00:27
That’s how we operate our academics here too…with a pinch of freedom and a quirk.
- 00:32
But more on that later.
- 00:34
I’m Thurber the Bulldog, by the way. Redlands’ mascot, and your official tour guide.
- 00:38
Let’s get down to business. [Guy appears in an office with a briefcase]
- 00:40
We were founded in 1909 and we’re located in sunny California…about one hour east of Los Angeles. [Finger pointing to the location on a map]
- 00:47
That’s right…we offer the full Cali experience, dude. A laid back vibe, with beaches, mountains, [Guy with long hair on the beach]
- 00:52
and super sweet weather 24/7…365.
- 00:56
We have 3,300 undergraduate students…, which is on the smaller side, but if you can’t
- 01:00
pluck a few friends out of that pack, you’re just being picky. [3 people looking happy]
- 01:03
Our dorms are pretty standard, but full discretion…air conditioning exists on a building-by-building basis. [AC fall off one of the rooms]
- 01:09
But hey, if you can’t take the heat, get out of California. Or just wear a bro-tank. [Guy wearing a tank top at the beach]
- 01:14
..and deodorant..
- 01:16
We also offer off-campus housing and some suites for upperclassmen. [Guy wearing a suit in a nice room]
- 01:20
But if you're yearning to leave the nest, we'll let you move off campus your Junior year. [Woman sat in a birds nest]
- 01:24
It’s a residential area, so there are little houses galore.
- 01:27
Campus life is fun. We host All School Parties almost every weekend. They’re a
- 01:32
lot like those boy-girl parties you begged your parents to let you attend in seventh grade... [People at a party outside]
- 01:37
…just with less awkward "spin the bottle" games.
- 01:40
Or…maybe not. The people here are a nice blend of chill
- 01:44
and determined. If they had a celebrity couple name, it'd probably be "Chilltermined." [Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in front of a huge house]
- 01:50
But even though we're pretty chilltermined, that doesn't mean we're boring. Heck no, we’ve [Girl looking bored on the couch]
- 01:55
got it all…arty farties, busy beavers, and even a few young Republicans.
- 01:59
The reason for this diversity is that we offer a wide range of academic programs.
- 02:04
Want to make the big bucks? We have a business school and a good one to boot. [Lots of cash lands next to a guy]
- 02:08
Are you more of the want-to-make-the-world-a-better-place type person?
- 02:11
We can help you help others.
- 02:14
The Truesdail School of Communicative Disorders offers top-notch training in Speech-Language Pathology. [Guy pulling a funny face in a doctor's room]
- 02:20
We also have programs to help fight the good fight against environmental and educational injustice. [Guy walks straight past a woman giving out save the world leaflets]
- 02:26
And if music, media, or geographic information systems are more your style…that’s cool too. [Guitar, globe and an iPad appear]
- 02:31
Heck, we’ll even let you design your own major.
- 02:34
At the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies, teachers are more like academic gurus.
- 02:39
We let students negotiate their own course design and learning experience. [Guy wearing tank top talking to his professor]
- 02:43
It’s gotta be real though… babe-ology ain’t gonna fly.
- 02:46
But college isn’t all about classes, you know.
- 02:49
We’re in a great location for anyone looking to try new things. [Guy skateboarding]
- 02:52
Our campus is surrounded by beautiful mountains and deserts, so if you're looking to be one [Girl looking at the view of a desert]
- 02:57
with the wilderness, this is a greta place to start.
- 03:00
There are also some great local eateries and hangouts to get your grub on. And yes, that [Two people at a restaurant]
- 03:04
includes In-n-Out. Pro-tip: ask for animal style.
- 03:09
And before you throw your toga in the trash, fret not: we have a full Greek life for the [Two people wearing togas]
- 03:13
house party crowd.
- 03:14
So yup, we’ve got all those bases covered.
- 03:17
And speaking of sports metaphors, we have a division three athletics department as well.
- 03:21
We offer the full college experience here at Redlands. [Guy wearing a party hat and holding a big stack of papers]
- 03:24
They say college is the time for you to find you. We believe there’s a lot of truth to
- 03:28
that cliché.
- 03:30
And if you give that camping thing a try, you may need to literally find yourself. [Guy looking confused and asks a bear for directions]
- 03:34
No one knows how to use a compass anymore it seems.
- 03:37
The bottom line is…we want to guide you on that journey.
- 03:40
So come on down to Redlands and sing some nonsense with us.
- 03:43
It’s only mildly embarrassing, we promise.
