After I watched this video in high school, I was amazed how this many people can make such an original work together and adored University of Groningen's students and staff.. I ended up applying to university and I was admitted, though I had to withdraw it due to financial reasons. Now here I am as an exchange student at this university, -better than nothing, and I am proud of RUG!

July 2020 update: Graduated from the University of Groningen, I will always love my university and feel lucky that I got to study there.

This has to be the BEST LIP SYNC EVER! Didn't get anywhere near the views it deserved. I still watch it from time to time. Great job guys and girls.

I saw this video when it came out, and for some reason it popped into my head tonight, so I came to watch again. So much joy! We lived in Groningen 1991-1993 for my husband's pos-doc. We love NL and Groningen and Dutch people, and made some very good friends.

Such positivity. I hope you are all leading wonderful lives. Love from the UK.

It's pretty amazing that they did this in just one whole video and they didn't just put together a bunch of scenes...

[RT-hhvl]

[italkscomputershow]

Love it. I remember seeing this video as a young lad. Inspiration

[IbteeDApunisher]

I don't care if it's a promo for a university. It was really well put together and delivered a feel-good moment about everything around me.

SUPER, echt grote klasse en eindelijk wat super leuke humor in Nederland!!! Klasse en nog eens klasse met ook de complimenten aan Jeff Lynne en zijn Mr. Blue Sky.

This video is underrated for sure. Going to see ELO in June. This is my favorite song

[drjonxx]

This just made my day! What a fun, lively, and dynamic act set to one of my all time favorite songs. Bravo.

[Goedendag]

I spent most of my childhood living in the Netherlands, it's been 10 years since I left, God, do I miss it

[arjsr]

Walk down memory lane. Iedere 3 maanden ff 1x kijken, voor de komende 20 jaar.

[DrKilgoreMan]

Everyone looks like they're having such a good time.
I especially like the part in Dutch. Fantastic job!

[NiceJungLady]

Magnificent.  There was room for everyone -- every age, size and specialty. That variety made it a dazzling show. Encore!

[zoohed]

Beautiful . The whole world should join in.

[mmrdhoy]

[ArthurRuno]

Omg, I cant belive its all one take. Amazing! Just unbeliveble

[jasterful]

Geweldig leuk!! Niks mis mee.
Pé, Rinus en Clan gefelicitaart!!

This is, by a long shot, the BEST University promo film I have ever seen! (and that's something to say for a Leiden alumna ;-) ) - everyone should register at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen!
