Support the OU in University Face Off campaign

The Open University based in Milton Keynes
Time is running out to vote in the University Face Off campaign which is underway on Facebook to find the UK's ‘most supported university'.

Student Sarah Wicks has contacted Platform in a bid to rally continued support for the campaign. She said: “At the moment the OU is at the top of the leaderboard, due to the efforts of a handful of students to promote this amongst the OU community.

“The competition runs until the end of March, and our lead is under threat by Aberystwyth Uni who won it last year. We'd really appreciate some 'official' support on this - if nothing else, it's getting the OU noticed among the wider student population."

She added: "With only a few days remaining we're about 1,000 ahead of our main rivals Aberystwyth and we all be gutted if they snatched victory at the last minute."

To get behind the OU in the University Face Off, see the official Facebook page and the OU support page.

Come on guys! All you've got to do is "like" a picture and comment on it to get the OU points. If you don't want to enter the competition and give your details to win the iPad, then you don't have to. Pesonally, I don't care about the iPad, I just want to beat Aberystwyth and show all the other cocky little gets from the brick unis that we are a "proper" uni!

You won't get any spam messages or be bombarded with notifications or anything.

You can also get bonus points by tweeting and sharing via the bonus points section.
