I’m so tired of them. They are all the same:

Show science.
Show a black student doing something intellectual.
Show a female athlete.
Show an Asian person in a lab coat.
Show kids with different skin colors interacting.
Show someone playing an instrument.
Show an implied LGBTQ person.
“This college is advancing the future.” “Our students are leading the way.” Generic message about growing as a person. School logo.

Colleges, you do have a lot of bright young minds with different backgrounds on campus. Let them make the commercials. They will inject some variance, some coolness, some weirdness, and some humor. They’ll drop in a beat. I’m well passed college age and wanting the college experience, but a college commercial that made me laugh or made me feel like the school wasn’t exactly the same as every other college would have gone a long way.

Ffs, at least emphasizes what the school is really good at. Ie: UK has solid Engineering, architecture, interior design, and dental programs. Talk about those things instead of a stock footage cliche reel.
