 Good afternoon. We're currently standing outside Reed Hall, which we're touring today right now And so I hope that you came prepared with questions. You can type that into the comments box below Happy to get your questions. Happy to get your questions. Who are you? My name is Molly Strickland I'm a student here at the University of Arkansas. I'm about to go into my junior year of advertising and public relations, so Yeah, just the intern for housing. Yes. Awesome. And where did you live? I lived in Yolkham. Okay. I lived in Yolkham because it was center of campus, but after coming inside Reed Hall I'm counting out of myself. Reed is a pretty nice place. Reed is really nice. Y'all are gonna love it. So come tell us where we are. So we're on the back side of Reed, so this is not the main entrance We'll show you that in a second. So we're on the back side just to show you location. The south side, I think it's the south side, yeah. So right here we're gonna have the Epley Center, which is the nursing building. I know nursing is really big on this campus. So that's all like your life right there. And of course we have the stadium, which is currently being had under construction, aka the cranes. Those cranes are gigantic. They are massive. They're putting in a jumbotron and like all these boxes. And then right here is a Tyson building, which is your agriculture kind of building. There are some other classes in there, like some science classes. Mm-hmm. And then right here is gonna be Maple. The Maple. All the Maple. Yes. Maple West, I think is that one right there. Never eat soggy waffles. Yes, West. Yes, West. Okay. So yeah, we were just gonna kind of show you the outside and we're gonna head all in. Yeah, we have a lot of people tuned in already. So hey, let us know where you're from, where you're tuned in from to watch. And as always, we're ready to hear your questions. Why don't we give an overview of what we're gonna do? We're gonna explore the first floor first and then head upstairs. Yeah. So we're gonna explore all down here, something we just got fobbed in. So the big thing about Reed is you have to fob in to a lot of things. So the door you'll have to fob into every single time that's gonna be connected to your keys that you get when you move in here. So if your friends ever come and they're not living in Reed, you need to come downstairs and fob them in. Absolutely. So right here is just our front desk. Hey, say hello to Jill from Springdale. Hi, Jill from Springdale. And Kirsten James? Kirsten James from Rogers. Uh-huh. Kirsten. Hey, Molly. She's my girl. And then Channing from Armarillo. That's always nice. Armarillo. So we're gonna check out the first floor. And then we're gonna go upstairs and see the rooms and the bathroom as well. And Kelsey is from Kansas. She says hello. Hello, Kelsey. Yeah. So this is our front desk right here. This is where you're gonna come for some things that Meredith is gonna talk to you about. Right, Meredith. Hey, Meredith. How are you? Hi, I'm good. My name is Meredith. I'm the coordinator for residents education here in Reed. So the front desk is kind of your main point for communication. It's where you'll get your mail. You'll get packages if you have questions or anything. The Reed desk is staffed 24 hours a day. So there's always always somebody here for you. Sometimes the RAs will work the desk, but you can always also call your RA on duty. Fantastic. And you said you're a CRE. Can you take a moment to explain to us what that means? Yeah. So I am a full-time professional. I live in the building here. So I oversee the daily operations of Reed. And then I oversee the RAs. Reed has 16 RAs that I supervise directly and work with them. I do any sort of student care situation. I do student conduct situations. And basically anything that happens within the walls of these buildings, I generally have some sort of involvement. You do indeed. Okay, fantastic. Yeah. A couple other shout-outs that came through. Let me say hello to Shelby from Little Rock and Keanna from Dallas. Little Rock. And Madison from Austin. Glad you were all tuning in here. Okay. So we've got a water thing right there. Can you explain to us anything about that? Yeah. So this is kind of your old-school water bottle or drinking fountain, but this is a water bottle filler. And people love this because it just makes it real easy to get some water. Right. You don't have to put your mouth on that thing and drink from it. You can just put your bottle right there. Yeah. You don't even need to buy water bottles. You can just refill there. I bought water bottles at the Canadian New Year. And I was like, this is such a waste of money when I can just refill it. So buy one good water bottle. Just refill it over and over. Yeah. Just go to TJ Maxx. They're like six bucks. This is your mail right here. You will get an email through your UARC email account, which is about to become your life. So you might as well just start checking it now. Download the app on your phone. You can access it. So you'll get an email where you and your roommate will share a mailbox. And they'll have a code that's sent to you and it'll be your coach email box. So my grandma sent me some stuff. I got money on my birthday. It's really nice. So make sure people are sending you letters because... That birthday money though. The birthday money. I got 50 bucks. Wow. Okay. Packages will come to the desk and then you'll pick up your mail here, right? Is that how it works? And you can. There's a little outgoing mail right there. So I did send some letters. Okay. You can actually send things home too. So parents who are tuning in, it's possible to send letters home too. Send your parents' birthday messages. So right here, we're going to have some building machines. You can get some nice drinks over here. And that says going to be the food. This is not included in your fee. So this is going to be out of pocket. You can pay using cash, using card, or using Apple Pay, which you can do with your watch if you just like scan it up there. I'd show you, but I'm broke right now. All right. So what else do we have here on Read First Floor? Yeah. So right here is going to be... There's two kitchenettes. So this is like a mini kitchenette. So we're going to have... You start here, you have a stove if you ever wanted to cook anything. Those utensils, you don't need a ring. You can check out at the desk. So don't worry about bringing any of that. And we're going to have to be followed in. Okay. So this is one of the good security features about Read is you have to be followed into everywhere, basically. Yes. So always have your file available. Yes. So there's a ton of spaces here in Read, like just hanging out instead. A ton of lounging spaces. So... It's amazing. You can see it right here. You all can have a movie night in here where you can rent some DVDs from the front desk, or you can always go by your own. And then you have just a nice little couch right here because sometimes it's nice to get away from doing homework, kind of relax because it can be very, very stressful. You can do what? Unwind. It's very, very stressful. You will cry a lot this year. Lori is from Plano and Dana is from Houston. So glad to have you tune in. Yeah. Welcome to the University of Arkansas in Reed Hall. Yes, indeed. So what else do we have to see? We have a lot to see. We're here on the first floor. Is it time? Yeah. We're just on floor one. So right here, which you have to be followed in again, is going to be your little workout room. And it will yell at you if you leave the store open too long. So we will close it before it starts to yell at us. So this is just a little gym, which is nice. No other hall offers us. There is the rec center that's inside the union, and then there's also just a regular U rec center, which is over there kind of towards the stadium. So this is nice. We have some alopticals and we have Chad meals. We do have weights. We have free weights too. So just a good place if you're still trying to keep healthy and not gain that freshman 15, which I promise you, it's kind of hard to gain. I did not gain it at all. Come in here, work out with your friends. Super nice. And then actually right next door, you'll have to access it by going outside though. If you ever needed anything, UAPD is right next door. So that's one of the cool things about Reed is there's so much protection in this hall. So there's a door right there, but you won't actually use that. You'll have to go around like I said, but they're right there next door to you. So if you ever had any problems, I would go. It's right here in the same building. In fact, I believe there's some programming that happens that sometimes includes the police departments. Yeah. So the UAPD, they have a couple different dogs and they like to bring them, especially to Reed and sit at the front desk quite a bit. And then we invite them to a lot of the different programs that we have, partially because they're close, and then they like to be really involved in student life here. Fantastic. What are some of the programs that Reed is known for? Are there any particular events that'll happen in the first few weeks that those are watching? Yeah. So we have one of our first events is called Best Room in Reed, and it's kind of like a Reed open house and we have snacks, and all the floors have a different snack so you can kind of like a progressive thing. Nice. There's different prizes for different rooms, most creative or cutest, all kinds of different things. So that's a good one that we do. We do a recruitment breakfast. So if you're going through recruitment, it's an early morning, but we provide breakfast for our sorority. Yeah. I'm trying to think of what other ones we do. It'll be up on Hogsink soon, some of our scheduling, so you can see that there. Very good. Very good. Great. So you've got this wonderful facility to work out in where you don't even have to go. What are you doing? You got some 10s right there? Yeah, I'm doing some workouts while we do this video. Stay in fit. There we go. Stay in fit all the time. Well, let's continue to explore Reed Hall here on the first floor. So glad to have you tuning in as we take this tour. Yeah. So you probably shouldn't at all walk through this hallway if we're going to because we're going to take a shortcut. And Meredith's office is right here at the right. Point that out. So come visit her if you have a question. And that's the front desk, of course. So this is going to be kind of like another lounge area, eating area, the full kitchenette, and gotta be bothered again. So thank you. Can we get the light in here? Yes, right. You see it? Oh. Nice. So here's kind of like a cafe slash kitchen. I'm going to come over here and give a full pan at this place. Yeah. So this is just another kind of kitchen area. You can kind of hear if you ever wanted to cook some food. Sorry. They're cleaning out the stove right now. They're cleaning the stove even as we speak. Which is good, you know. Yeah. So you'll have our footage. We want to point out this desk, this patio space back here, too. That's wall. We'll do that real quick. So on the nice, whatever it's fall, it becomes really nice here in the Ozark Mountains. So you can only enter through this door. There is another door out here, but it's not actually real. So there's even more like walled patio space here. Good, nice wall patio space. Just come up here. It's on a nice day. You can do some steadying. Of course, there's that long, full table. And then you're going to have a stove. You're going to have a microwave. And you're going to have a toaster, which is actually really cool. And of course, a fridge. Did you cook pretty much in the halls? I cooked some sugar cookies. And I cooked pizza. That was about eight. Very nice. I used to microwave probably all the time, but other than that, no. Not very good. But yeah, definitely use it. Where would be your hall where you would eat if you live on this side of campus? The closest dining hall for y'all is going to be the Fulbright dining hall, which is going to be right where the quads are. So that's right on Garland. Y'all go over there. My suggestion is the really, really good stir fry that they have. I think I talk about it in every single video because it's so good. And we did that tour yesterday. Yes, we did that tour yesterday. So it's archived now on our Facebook page. So you can go back over there or you can even go to our website and view them at movein.ur.edu. And we found some of the greens that we use, some of the lettuce we use is actually grown here on campus. Yes, so something very interesting to know and there's a lot of food options here on campus and you want to know how that works with your car because freshman, you do require to have a meal plan, so definitely watch that video. Yes, okay. So this room is another room that comes off kind of that kitchen area. Another lounge area. We do have a TV. There's some old yearbooks down there. Nice. Fun fact about yearbooks, they're free. So get that. Don't miss it. Don't miss it. Don't miss out on free. You're going to have a DVD player down there where you can of course still watch DVDs. This would be the goatee place on Monday nights when the bachelor, the bachelor, is on. The watch parties is where they happen. Is that true? Yes. All the floors have TV lounges too, which you'll see. And they are Monday nights where just each one is full of people watching. So if you're a fan, you will definitely have friends and a place to watch it with. And can you rent DVDs? I think you may have mentioned that you can. Yeah. So one of the things a friend desk also does is rent different DVDs. We have a huge selection and then we also have the pots and pans, which I'm all in for. Oh, sure. Just trade in your ID and then you'll get your ID back when you return the item. Do you happen to know which one is the most popular DVD? Oh, gosh. I don't know. Could you do yes? Okay, okay. Yes, but always watch for remember the Titans. That's a good class. Remember the Titans. Remember the Titans, my favorite movie. There is a bathroom right there. Okay. If you ever need to go to a restaurant, just point that out. Excellent. So now we're coming back around to the main lobby area. So right here was where I was mentioning so this is going to be your very front entrance, which has resident reserved parking. And that's where you'll basically come in every single time. So we're facing north right now. We're facing north, yes. Okay. And we'll walk this way. Okay. Yeah. Some more lounging areas. Sure. We're going to show you another cool kind of study room slash hangout room slash whatever you make of it room. Oh, what's that? Whatever you make of it. Okay. Oh, yeah. So we're really sorry. The furniture's kind of out. We like to clean. Yeah. Our carpet's clean. Yes. So all the furniture got moved around. But when you come in August, everything will be set up in a way that makes a lot more sense than this. But we do have clean carpets. Yeah. Brand fresh cleaned carpets. Clean carpets. Very nice. So is this room, how do you refer to these different rooms? We call this the blue room in general. But then we call the little room study rooms. Okay. So each room has its own table and those doors close. Mm-hmm. So they're not soundproof, but it is kind of protection if you need to do a group project or if you need to have kind of a group discussion. You can be in one of those rooms and kind of be separated from whatever might be going on in here. Fantastic. Fantastic. You have to study here on campus. So definitely take advantage of that. It's a super good calm place to come study. You mentioned Club Mullins or Mullins Library is a good place to check out. Club Mullins. It's called the Club Mullins because you're there all hours of the night. It does shut down at 2 a.m. except for finals so it gets open all the time. So basically Club Mullins is Mullins Library. So that's where you're going to go if you need to go use the computer or the printer or just get some nice quite sitting down. So there's four floors. There's the basement, which is utter silence. Do not even talk. It kind of freaks me out and just ends up in my backpack. It's so quiet. I'm just like, oh. And then the first floor is just like the main floor where you walk in. So that's going to have all of your computers. There's going to be some study rooms that you can actually rent out if you go to the library's website. It's everything. If you ever wanted to search anything about Arkansas, do what you want to search and then put you ARC into Google and you'll find it. I promise you. That's a secret term. That's a secret term. You ARC. You ARC and then whatever you want to search. And then second floor is also no talking. Third floor is my personal favorite because it's a talking floor. So I would go there and I do some good projects or just do stuff on my own and it's nice. So there's a lot of space. That's good to know. There's always finals week. It's a little bit hectic because everyone's trying to study. And down this where we have, is that right trash and also laundry? Yeah. There's not recycling right here. Yeah. There is a competition between all the halls about recycling. So these recycle, it's not that hard. It's plastic, newspaper, mixed papers and aluminum can. So hopefully we know what that is. There are elevators which we will go up in a second. Yes. We'll go through this door which is going to be the laundry room and the trash heap. Okay. So the trash room is going to be right here. You'll just have to take your trash down. There's a fob. Okay. And you'll just open up this door and you'll throw your trash out there. Yeah. So I think it's open up weird hours too. So make sure that you know. Mary, do you have any thoughts about how we get rid of trash here? Yeah. So a lot of the taller buildings like Yokem and Humphrey's have trash shoots but in Reed we do not. They've all been closed. So it is kind of a pain to come and bring your stuff down but it does save the building from getting the little creatures that we don't really like. So bring all your trash down here. You will need your fob so if you happen to get out without your fob you'll be stuck outside. So be sure to bring your fob and it's only open certain hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. So if you are taking your trash out at night you should just wait until the first thing in the morning. Okay. And there will be dumpsters out the other changes. Yeah. There will be dumpsters and then there's also a cardboard dumpster too since that's not at the recycling center. Yeah. I hope not too. All right. So. We're headed this way. Okay. And so we're about to see the laundry room. Fun fact, don't go on a Sunday. That's when it's the most busy place. Everybody's doing their laundry on Sunday. I'm trying to do their laundry on Sunday. Okay. So when you first walk in you're going to notice there's an ice machine so you can come and get some ice. There's some desk right here so whenever I would do my laundry I would just bring it in and watch it. But if you don't want to do that and you want to get back up to your room we do have something called Andre Alert. What's that? What Andre Alert is so you'll notice on all of the washers right here you have this scan here. So basically what you can do is you can scan that with your iPhone they do have an app that you can also download and it's also for Android. You can scan that and it'll let you know and it'll send you a notification or a text saying or go online even and you can see what's open so you're not having to take a waste of trip down here to see what's open and closed. So the washers do wash I will say when it is done washing you need to come down here immediately and put clothes in the dryer because the dryers are always filled up. A lot of times we get asked what's the fee for the washing and it's included in your fees so don't have to bring any quarters or any of that it's included all in here basically if you were like me and you missed your soft runner you just kind of use the old fashion stuff but you'll just just throw your clothes in and you'll press power you'll hit you know regulars and you'll like start Sure. Fantastic So. Great. Great well I guess that's what we want to show you want to show Matt? Yes. I'll show them the softening so basically if you have no idea what I'm saying are you kind of confused this is know everything right there. You can't miss out on it. Take advantage of everything that's offered to you because you do pay for it. Yes. Alright, so now we will walk up. There are stairs on the end if you wanted to take the stairs. I would suggest taking the stairs if you're on the second and the third floor because people on the upper floors will get mad at you if you press floor number three. Okay. Now we're going up to the very top so let's not take the stairs. Let's not. We would be so unbreathed and be horrified. By the way, you're doing a great job. Also, I will say that the elevator looks a little bit different right now because this is how it's going to be set up a moving day. So that way when you move in stuff and you're not going to damage the walls or anything. Yeah, it's covered. But there is actual stuff underneath. Yes, there are actual. It's actually a nice elevator. Fun fact about an elevator just because I love to embarrass my roommate so much from last year. Natalie Akers dropped her. Oh, by name. By name. Dropped her phone down the elevator shaft on the first day of moving. Couldn't get it until Monday when the maintenance people were right down there. I don't know how you dropped that, but it went all the way down to the bottom floor and it was there's just joy. So we're in Reed Hall 9th floor. 9th floor, so congrats. We made it to the 9th floor. Right here was a study room that Meredith was talking about earlier. You can come down here, you can do some study and even watch The Bachelor. Right, one on each floor. So how many ladies pack into that room? Oh, quite a few. I mean, I've seen where it's just standing room only right here, so you can get pretty full. Sure. I mean, there are about 450 people living in, so you can only imagine every single floor on a Monday night. Absolutely. We have another water bottle filled up here on every floor. So we're gonna go to the bathroom and we'll just show you kind of what it's like. Yeah, and there's two banks. So there's two banks of bathrooms on each floor. So where the elevator splits, that side of the hallway, people will use that bathroom and then the people on either side of this hallway will use this more. Let's head inside. So we'll look at just a regular old bathroom stall first. You're gonna have five stalls right here. You're gonna have five sinks. There's a nice vanity because we know how much we want to look at ourselves and make sure we're looking good. Something unique is you have a full length mirror, so don't have to ever worry about if those shoes don't look good with that outfit because you can see. This is an all-girl haul in case you didn't mention that. Sure, sure. Guys care about their kicks too. I mean, yeah. But you know girls, we have to look good for the guys. So if you're just gonna get your showers, you're gonna have four on this side. You're gonna have one on this side. This is the bigger handicap line. Let's go inside with the showers, just give them a view. So right here, you're just gonna have a good old changing room. You're gonna have a little bottom shelf right here. And then this is gonna be the actual shower. It is a little tight space. You don't need much though. The water is always hot, I promise you. And here's gonna be some shelves. Something I would suggest, highly suggest, when using all-girl showers. Bring a towel wrap when you're changing, going from your room to the bathroom just to cover yourself up. Of course, a towel. A shower caddy. Don't get the plastic kind. I would get the kind that has the mesh on it. That's a lot easier to carry. And the most important thing, if you take anything away from day, is buy shower shoes. They're like two bucks at Old Navy. You can get them at Walmart. I had those Jesus sandals, like the crocodile shoes. There were five bucks I got at the beach. But you said the bathrooms are cleaned every single day. So something to keep in mind. What's that? Oh, the bathrooms are cleaned Monday through Friday. Monday through Friday. So the weekends. Saturday and Sunday. Sure. So be aware of that. Yeah. Exactly. Hey, thanks for pointing that out. We'll go this way. So that's where that side of the hall would come in at. And this is the side. Sounds good. We're gonna check out that corner room, I think, first. Yeah, we're gonna go check out the corner room. We'll do all of the main measurements in the other room though, because everything's going to be almost the same. Yeah. So these are, we're gonna show you the exception room on this floor. So 923, congratulations. This is your room. Yes. And about maybe a month or so. All right. A little bit less than that. Okay. So let's show off this room, which is the corner room. The corner room. It's very nice, very big. You're gonna have these right here where you can hang your clothes at. There's two upper shelves right here. You have upper shelves right there. I would put my food up there in a little bag. And some textbooks I didn't actually use. Right here, you're just gonna have a little mirror and your house and drawers where you can put your stuff inside of. I'm just a little square. There's a wall outlet right there. And then this is your bed right here. So I'll just go ahead and give you the shabules about the beds. You can loft them if you want to put in a maintenance request before you get here. Go to housing.urk.edu forward slash fix it. They'll do it for you. That would be my easiest suggestion. However, if you want to do it yourself, first off, we have rubber mallets here, but we suggest bringing your own because everyone's trying to do it at the same time. So if you want to loft it yourself, basically what you want to do, you can loft it as high as here. But if you want it higher than there, basically you'll just take the bed off and you'll flip this completely around. And so you can lift it as high as like here. Yeah. So what's down here right now? You can just flip it. Yeah, you can flip that so that it can go up to here. Yeah. And you have the desk, of course, right here. You can move the desk and shift them more in if you want to put a little intake bar in there. And so this room is super cool because there's lots of space. Mm-hmm. Well, great. Well, let's go ahead and check out one of the more typical rooms, probably the kind of room that you will be living in. Yeah. Okay. If you are room 919. 919 is the one we're going to check out. Okay. It's your ultimate day. All right. So this is room 919. So this is when you all can start asking questions. Yeah, feel free. We're happy to measure anything you need. We'll measure anything. So this is just going to be typical room. You're going to have your two beds that again, like you can loft. Like I said, you're going to have two desks right here, what these, these can move. So yeah, yep, they can move. So be careful about that. You're going to have two walls right here or wardrobes where you can hang your clothes out again, of course. I'll switch places and I'll show that off. Yeah. Right here with the two shelves again, this upper cabinet right here, and then these drawers and some countertop space. And what's cool if you're on this side, you have a really cool view. So you have the view of the stadium, which is super cool because the day before a home game, it lights up red. So that's something really cool to see at night. Yeah. You can see all the thousands, tens of thousands of people who will descend upon Razorback Stadium. So we had one question come in already. Houston wanted to know the link from here to there. Okay. And it's about 38 inches. 38 inches right there. Okay. 38. And let me just measure the height just in case. Yeah. It's going to be right at 19. 19. Okay. And then what's the depth? I guess we'll go ahead and get that to you. Right at 12 and three fourths. Okay. Okay. Great. Well, now is the moment we'd love to hear your questions. We're happy to answer them and give you any measurements you need. I know that one measurement we've been asked for before was how wide these squares are. And what are they? Two. So they're about two and a quarter by two and a quarter. Okay. That's what we measured earlier. Gray. Gray. Okay. So if you ever wanted to put your little headboards up there, you can do so. Yeah. There are headboards up here right now. Yeah. You can always come over here and you can hang some pictures over here. I'm hanging some lights. I know everyone's favorite thing is to hang up lights in the room. But however, if you do drill something into a wall, you're going to have to pay for that. So make sure that you're bringing command strips and put that everywhere. You don't want to use them. Please do not drill into the walls. Please do not. It's concrete. So it'd be kind of hard to. But anything that happens in this room that you damage, you will have to pay for it. Let's show me outlets. I think there's what two outlets for each desk. Yeah. So there's two on each desk that you can have up there. There's a place for an internet cable if you needed just to connect to your computer directly. The... We do have wireless. Yeah. We do have wireless. There is a TV cable right here. So if you want to plug in a TV, if just, you know, the rooms are getting too crowded because of Bachelor Monday night and you want to watch Scandal or something, you can plug in the TV right there. You get all of Cox cable on there. You do get the HBO's. So you can watch some movies. You can pay an extra fee if you want the box, cable box. The DVR service. DVR. Exactly. Exactly. So yeah. And then you mentioned there's another outlet right there. There's another outlet and that's going to be the light. Yeah. So you can have a TV which is super nice. Great. Okay. Yeah. Oh gosh. All right. So... Another measurement. Max is the height of this. So the height of the full bed frame is a full 60 inches or five feet. So that's the one I've gotten most recently. Okay. Thanks for that. Thanks for having that. I realized I had been not strolling through all the comments. So there are some here, which I were about to take as they came in. Okay. So Sarah says I saw vacuums. Can they be checked out for a girl's use? Yes. Absolutely. The vacuums can be checked out with your ID at the friend desk. And Elizabeth says, can you use the elevators for move-in? You can use the elevators for moving things up but then you have to take the stairs down. Yeah. So we tried to, with so many people moving in, especially with most of our residents coming on August 10th, it'll be very, very full. So there'll be a line for the elevator to go up, but then everybody has to come down. It creates a good flow, a good circular flow of movement. Yeah. And Laura from Boise, glad you're trying to... Boise. Yeah. That's far. Yeah, you bet. Michelle asks, are these the new beds? And I believe they are. Yes. So these are all the new beds. The old beds are no more. So these are the ones that you guys received the email about last week. Mackenzie's excited about nine... Are we at 9.18? No, 9.19. We can maybe dip it at 9.18. If we have time, Mackenzie will dip it at 9.18 for you, okay? All right. And Dana asks, how do you hang a curtain on that giant window? So how do we hang a curtain? Let's see, what would be the best route to do that? It's... I'll take it from over here if you want to measure it. Yeah, it's really hard to hang curtains in these windows. So that's probably the second most common question. And I have yet to find a really good answer. We can give you the measurements in a second, but one thing I suggest is that I think it's either Rubbermaid or 3M, make these curtain rod holders that attach with command strips that you can put anywhere and then you can get your own tension rod. But the hard thing is it's really hard to find a rod that's this long. Sure, sure. And the weight, the weight of the curtain itself might pull pretty hard with the command strips. So a lot of people do lights and kind of use Christmas lights, but getting a curtain is really hard. So we'll give you those measurements so that you can try. Oh no. For solid. You might not be able to see it very well, but there's a little nook here that makes... There is an outlet on this corner end. Okay. So it's about 132 and a half inches. 132 and a half inches is the width. And then the height, we can give them from the bottom up to the top. Hey, look at you, man. Thank you. 63 inches, Dana. Hopefully that helps you out with that measurement. I wanted to use curtains, but it was a lot easier when you can just close the blinds, because that's what curtains are used for. It's pretty dark in here, especially at night. It shouldn't really wake you up. That's what I would suggest. I mean, something I've really learned after moving into a dorm or hall last year was you want to bring less because you can always buy more when you get here. You don't want to overcrowd the space because it is smaller. It's not used to your regular bedroom. So you have to use what is given here. Sure, sure. I would definitely bring less. You can always buy more. This is Walmart USA. We have Target. We have TJ Maxx. There's our home goods and Rogers. So that would be my biggest suggestion. You know, you're going to be living here for about eight months. So I kind of hated my headboard in the middle of the year because it was just kind of annoying. I was just like, ah, get off. It kept on breaking and falling and... All right, all right. Good to know. Things you learned. Things you learned in my freshman year. Jill asked, how much space is above the window to hang drapes? So it doesn't look like I'm just kind of eyeballing above the window to hang drapes. I'm thinking there's really just no room up there at all. Maybe, maybe an inch. I mean, it's very tight up there. Maybe an inch. I mean, like I said, you don't necessarily need those. It is cute. It's a really cute decoration thing, but you can just close the blinds and it's just as good because you don't want to over count this space. Shelby asks, what are the depths of the drawers and the dressers? So we can give her the depth of the drawers. Yeah, it's going to be right behind you. The dressers, okay, yeah. Top two, it looks like are shallower than the other ones. So we'll do these top two first. And it looks like it's four inches. Four inches is sort of the height, yeah. And then the depth would be... Oh, okay. I was thinking depth the other way. Sorry about that. No worries. We will make an adjustment. And then these are 17 inches. 17 inches in depth. And I think each one of them are probably 17. Yeah. But they probably go as deep as that. The height is a little bit different and the length obviously is a little bit different. But let's see, okay. You're basically, one whole drawer will just be for t-shirts. I'm not even kidding you. One drawer will just be for t-shirts. One drawer will just be for short in leggings. Mm-hmm. Highly suggest lofting your beds and then buying an extra storage but underneath your beds. So if you're like me, I mean it doesn't help that I work at a shoe store, but I have infinite amount of shoes. Do you own a few shoes? I own a few shoes. I bought some broken socks and two pair of monkeys last week. So just get a bin with that. We'll do a separate show on that one. Yeah. And I asked how deep is the closet? How deep, yes. How deep is that closet right there? And I'm going to do it deep this way. Yeah. I'll hold it. Yeah. If you want to hold it there, it's about 23 and a half inches. 23 and a half inches is the depth of the closet. Do you want to measure it from down here to this pole? Sure. We can give her from the pole. About 55 inches from the bottom of the closet to the bottom of the rod. 55 inches as well, okay. And then Laurie asked, how high is the space under the bed when lofted to the middle position? So why don't we go ahead and just, it's a little hard to estimate. Yeah. Let's go through. This went to this top one which would hook in right here. We can, it's kind of hard to see exactly, but we can try. 30 and a half inches. And if we're just looking at the middle of that pole, which I guess how many, yeah. So the middle of the pole is where you were measuring it from around about that. Yeah. And it has two hooks. Okay. Great. Yeah. That's very helpful. And like we said, you know, you can go to housing.ur.edu forward slash fix it and they'll loft it for you. Mm-hmm. They will. Yeah, if they, if they can't get to your lofting because we've had so many requests for it, it is such an easy fix with these new beds. Yes. You just need to kind of pop it out and then flip it and pop it right back in. Pop it, flip it, pop it right back in again. Yeah. I did it last year when moving out. All you have to do is someone hold onto this and just do that. I promise you. It doesn't take that much arm strength because I have nothing. Elizabeth asked, can you take the bulletin board off the wall? Yes. So the bulletin boards currently are in all the rooms. We do say that if you want to take the bulletin board down, you can on your own as long as you put it back up when you move out in May. And then if you check out in May and the bulletin board is not there, or if some of the bolts are gone, we will charge you for the maintenance to have it put back up. But we know that people like to take them down. Just make sure and put it back up. Anne asked, how deep are the closet shelves? I think it would be the same depth for the closet shelves that we measured for the rest of the closet. We can give them the height. Well, this is a little shorter. You say, oh, okay. Yeah. So these are just under 16 inches. So like 16 inches. 16 inches are the depth of that shelf. Okay. 16 and 3 quarters. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Great. Good enough. Kirsten asked, and what's the height too? So the height of that would be what? From here to here. There, yeah. So I say like nine and a quarter. Uh-huh. Nine and a quarter. And the other one, the top one, is that one we think we can get a measurement on? We could try. I gotcha. The twin. Right there. That looks good. Oh no. Twenty-one. Twenty-two. Yeah. I would say it was straightened out right there. Yeah. And yeah. About 21, 22, that seems all right. Yeah, 21 and a half. Some more in there. I think that's a good deal. Good deal. Just fill the top from the bottom. Sure. So I'm just going to ask about curtains. Yeah. I know someone's going to ask about curtains. You feel the question coming, huh? I feel it coming. Okay. Okay, so that's 91 inches from the very top, from the very top. Like 91 inches. If you wanted to do it from like, I don't know, right there would be a typical height. Or if you wanted to just put it all the way to the top, what is that? That's 87. 87. 87 is that one. So that's about that two inches shy of the top. Yeah. Okay. Hey, our pleasure. Thank you. That would be something I would actually suggest is putting a curtain in there. Putting a curtain up, sure. Shelby asks, what is the max height you can loft the bed? I believe it's around 77 inches. I'm not entirely sure. Yeah, so it would be as high as the up there. So this is, the full length here is 60 inches. Oh, 60 here, okay. So it would just be a little bit shy of that. That's where your mattress would come. If you're on that peg, it's going to be like 58. So 58 is the height of lofting them here. It's different in different halls. So sorry, yeah, 58 would be about the limit. Anna asks, how do you attach curtains to the window? And that's a good question. We were just having a discussion. Yeah. Do you have any answer? Yeah, I think the recommendation that you were saying, or there's no real recommendation. All we're doing is telling you kind of what we think might work. It's just really hard to get any sort of thing up there. I have seen moms and dads and read women try, and it's just really difficult. That's why we put the blinds in. But like I said earlier, sometimes people will do Christmas lights. They can tack things in the ceiling. We'll charge you for those little holes, but sometimes people are ready to take that charge on or just put something small. Sure. I would guess maybe if you could find a tension rod that long, then you wouldn't necessarily have to do any mounting of anything. Yes, I just don't want to. You just create a tension rod. People have been able to find it. Yeah, it was like 136 something inches. It was big. Okay, let's see what other questions we have here. We love all the questions. Thank you. I will show you some right here that we kind of forgot to mention. Your chair does come apart, so you can make a little rocker right here. So I know my dorm room, everyone came inside of. There would be like 10 people at once. You'd think I'm kidding, I'm not. So that creates more space and more chance for people. More real estate to sit on. Yeah. And you said you were particular about people sitting on your bed. I was very particular. I do not like people sitting on my bed. Random sitting on your bed. Maybe you might remain, but feet gross me out, not in a way. So I'm like, no, please don't. I just cleaned my sheets. Please just leave it on. Got it, got it. So I rolled into my bed one time and I was like, Grace asked, how do we attach our own headboard? And I mean, do you have an answer specifically for that? Well, it just kind of depends on the headboard, honestly, because you know, you can get the kind where it just rests right there on the bottom of your bed. Or the one I made, I made it off of Pinterest. It was cardboard and I just put fabric over it. You know, like my mom's account, I did very much if you want to see it. It's really cool, we're all tied. But I just made it to where like it went over this part, right here, the cardboard, and then it did that little key little thing up there. So it just kind of rests over that. Something really cool I know that you can get it. It's at dorm decor. If you don't want to put an actual headboard up, they have these headboard pillows, which is just as cute. That was so much theater and buying an actual headboard. So that would be something I would suggest. And it keeps your bed from shifting and sliding because there is some space right there. Okay, good to know. Sarah asked, can you measure the height, width, and depth of the shelf above the vanity? So this would be the vanity. Well, yeah, that one's a little hard, but we will... Hopefully I'm tall enough. 16 and a half. Yeah, 16 and a half. 16 and a half would be the height. And then the depth might be a little hard. Okay, well, we're just gonna... Well, let's see, I think... You got it? Okay, I think I'm getting the back. Oh my gosh. I'm solid. Anything for the video? Yeah, but there's your TV land, we'll risk. 24 and 1 4. 24 and 1 4? Yes. Okay, and then we're gonna get the length as well. Do you want to take that end or the other end? I'll take this one. Okay. It's gonna be about 61 and a half. 61 and a half. Okay, hey, thank you. Molly Meredith for that. Sarah appreciates it. And Hannah asked, can you set the bed at any height? And I guess the answer is that you can set the bed at any height along... And those are kind of what? Two to three inch increments, it looks like? Yeah. Yeah, two or three inch increments. Yeah, once it's flipped over, it should be able to span the whole length of the bed first. I would put like your microwave... Or no, microwave. I put that up there. Your mini fridge, you can put that underneath your bed. Some more shelf sacks what I put underneath my bed. I had a humidifier because I have asthma that was underneath my bed and my laundry basket. Nice. Yeah, you want... Because they're so... Like you don't have a whole lot of space, so you don't want to overcrowd. And your wardrobe is most likely gonna be filled with all of your shoes and your clothes. So that's why I would suggest lofting your bed because you'd put anything that's underneath. Show me a measurement from the vanity counter to the shelf above it. So that's one dimension I don't think we've got just yet. So we have the height, which is... It's about 34. 34 inches is the height. And then she might know the... Yeah, let's get the length and the depth as well. This is 23. 23 is the depth. Yeah. And then the length... The length would be the same. Oh, the same. Yeah. We've already done that one once, but we'll do it again. 63. Okay. Lindsay asked, are the windows of the in-rooms the same size as the regular rooms? They are bigger. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're bigger. They're significantly bigger. Yeah. We were just in there earlier. And then Leah asked in the closet, what is the height from the floor to the hanging bar? I think we... We already did that. We did that one. So if you could just look back a little bit on the video, you can see that measurement. I was one of the first measurements we did. So I would... You know, right when we start to come in this room, that's when I, of course... Yeah, sure. We'll do that too. Show us, do we have to bring our own light bulbs? And I think the answer's no. Yeah. I think we'll even change them for you. Yeah. So any time your lights go out, you can just put in a maintenance request and your RA or somebody at the front desk can always show you how to do that and they will come in and do that for you. And it's important that you do that yourself by you saying that you're submitting the work requests, giving them permission to come in your room to do that church. But they will never come in at a weird hour. Right. And they're all housing staff. It's not subcontracting. It's all trusted university housing staff. They did what? They fixed my blinds. Very nice. I might get them. No questions asked? Did they just do it? Yeah, no questions asked. Like, I was in class. She was in class. They just came in and we came back and were like, oh, those are really nice blinds. Yeah. Sometimes they leave a note on the door for me that they were there. So you're not like... Who was the last thing? They don't touch anything. They just come in and fix it. Right. We're not in the business of blaming you for things like that that happened. No, no, no. Feel free. Please turn into maintenance questions. Sometimes blinds, when you're trying to close them, they just break. Yeah. Yeah, we know that they're old. That's life. Okay. Madison asked, can you turn the bed closest to the door sideways and put the desk next to the door? That would be something I would ask your roommate first. Because it is kind of weird space in here. You could do it. But that's going to be right on her face. Yeah. So the thing... The bed isn't long enough to go... Or the bed is too long to be. I'm here without this desk having to move. So you would have to arrange... So you're kind of stepping over the understanding that everybody gets 50% of the room. Yeah. These rooms are really tight. It's really hard to come up with too creative of a setup because every inch is kind of thought out. Precious. So it is kind of a challenge to find a new bedroom layout. But you are welcome to try. This furniture is light and ready to be moved around. So whatever you want to try to get creative, go for it. Whatever you and your roommate agree to is certainly okay with us. Anna asks, Can you move the twin XL up against the wall? Or does it have to stay long ways? So I think we kind of made it to the next room. Yeah. It just wouldn't fit with everything else. Yeah. Sarah says, Can you give us all the measurements of the closet? I think we've done the closet. So if you could just tune in back there. Hannah is in room 920. And maybe we'll just dip in real quick. Yeah. We're going to change to 918 and 920. Listen, if y'all are on this side, facing the stadium, I do want to get curtains. That's beautiful. It is a really nice view. Beautiful. Best view. And game day is just going to be a ton of people that you can watch. Oh my gosh. Yes. Okay. Chris asks, Can we also see another room on the opposite side of the building facing away from the stadium? I just want to see what the view is like. Sure. Yeah. You know, we can dip over. I'm not going to leave another floor, but we can certainly maybe check out that. Absolutely not. Grace asks, How do you place and touch your own headboard? I think we kind of spoke to that a moment ago. And I'm catching up with all the questions now. Lea asks, How big is the nook at the window? I saw it. Good morning. The nook. Let's see if this is nook. I'm assuming she's meeting this area. Yeah, I think so. So a lot of people put their microwave sitting here. I've seen all kinds of things, but this step is 24 inches in deep. Right. And the length of the window sill is how it would be and it's 13 and a quarter. So 24 deep, 13 and a quarter is the width. And then, I mean, the height is all the way up to the ceiling. So I'll see if I can. It's not super exact, but we're about 62 inches. About 62 inches. Okay, great. Thank you. Anna asks, Are there any other ways to arrange the bed? I would suggest it. Or they actually like that. Yeah, I mean, this is really a... Yeah, they do these layouts for a reason because this is going to give you the most amount of space. Mm-hmm. Hannah asks, How would you suggest to hang a curtain across the closet? And I think tension rod would work really well in that case. I got a curtain from Hobby Lobby. It was on sale half off. It worked perfectly fine. Plus you're 40% off, good fun. Yeah, you can always find that on top. Hey, thank you. Glad you're tuning in. Leah asks, Can you bring different chairs for the desk? Yes. I would just... You can't take any furniture out of here. It has to stay in here. That's including these things. You can put it underneath your bed if you want to. My remakes, you've got another chair washed here. You're responsible. Everything we give to you when you arrive, you're responsible for getting back to us. Can you bring an additional chair in? You know, that's as you wish. Yeah, I wish. As long as you... Yeah, if I could reiterate that point, you may not... You know, even if your parents live in Fayetteville or you have locals and they're certain they're going to bring it back in May, you cannot take anything out of this room. We have people outside over here. So, but you're welcome to hide your chair somewhere else and get something that's less black. I guess. Yeah. I mean, you know why? Yeah. Like I said, home goods and Rogers. Yeah. Well, Sonia is following up with the question, if we want to use different desk chairs, what do we do with the ones provided? I mean, they have to keep them here. I mean, that's just... So, why don't people put them in this thing up here? Put them up here in this space? I think I'm stored there. But then, like I said, under your bed... Underneath the bed. Sure, sure. And it does break apart in that way that we showed earlier. You just have to basically... There's this little thing that you press down here and take it off. Yeah. So, you can make it a little bit smaller. Yeah. Rock and tear too. So, many great questions. Shelby, when making a request to loft your bed, how do you specify how tall you want it? You know, what would you say... You would probably use inches you would say... I would just kind of be like, hey, I want to like loft it three-fourths of the way up. Right. Three-fourths is probably a good way. That would be my caution. If you don't want it the full length, because if you say to put in a request to loft it, they'll probably put it the full height. If you don't want that in order to get exactly what you want, I would just wait until you get here and do it by yourself with your parents or your friends or your roommate, because it really is just that easy. It's so easy. Like, I'm not even kidding you. All you have to do is do this, and it comes up. Pops right up with the rubber mallet. Pops right up. Yeah. Okay. Let's see what are the questions. All right. Is there a full length mirror on the back of the door? No, but there are some shells for you to hang your towels. Good question. We forgot to show that. So hang your towels back up here. There is a little peephole, and this is just some emergency procedures just to read. Sometimes the fire alarm does go off and you have to wake up at weird hours of the night. Sometimes there's tornado warnings and some of that actually happens. So I've lived here for 16 years. You're completely fine. Absolutely. But you can put a mirror in here if you want to. Yes. And ask, can you measure from the end of the bed against the window to the front of the closet? And that is not a measurement we've gotten yet. Oh, sure. We could do that. So this is a window side. It's 29 inches. 29 inches. So I did it from this thermostat thing since it sticks out. Sure. That went all right there. Okay. Let's see what else we've got here. Bless you. Is Michelle asked, is the bed mattress a normal size or XL? And it depends on which side of the room we're on. Yes. So if you're on the door side, that is a traditional twin. So you can get any sort of twin sheets. And then if you have the window side bed, you will need a twin XL sheets. That is an XL mattress. One thing I've been suggesting, if you haven't talked with your roommate about what side of the room you want is to get the twin XL sheets because then they're absolutely going to fit both beds. And most beddings now come, they're all like twin slash twin XL. Yeah. So if I were you, I'd get that bed by the wall because you can hang more wall art. Yeah. That was a nice thing that I noticed. Yeah. Claire asked, how much room is there between the end of the XL bed, twin bed and the closet? So I think it was one we just took a second ago. Sonya asked, how much room is between the two beds or what is a good size of a carpet to go here? Yeah, we could measure. What are we saying? We've said a lot of times like six by seven or something like that. I'm right here. So between, I'll put two beds from the end of the bed post. This is about 91 inches. So that gives you some time. 91 inches. Let me do the math real quick. Yeah. 91 by, I don't know, you probably want to start one here maybe. So that's about seven and a half. So probably five by seven. Okay. So is that around a five by seven? Four by six would fit better than five by seven. Okay. Five by seven would be closer to this desk. If you want it just where the bed posts are, four by six. Four by six is going to be a mess, but okay. And to reiterate what Molly was saying, sometimes it's hard to bring stuff before you've actually seen the room. So I would maybe wait. And then you can always go to Walmart. We always recommend that. That you get in the space and have it the space a little bit, figure out what you need to find. It's a pain to love all this stuff here and then have it not work and have to return it. Walmart also, if you order Walmart.com, they have a thing where you can have it delivered to your room before you move in. So that is a good suggestion, especially for if you don't rent a fridge through us by getting on Walmart and have them deliver it here. So you don't have to wait in that elevator line. And that does remind me of dollies. You can use dollies. We have some here that you can use. But again, like she was saying, so many people are moving in here early first order your equipment. So bringing your own dolly does not hurt at all if you don't want to wait. So my suggestion. Jill asked, can you control the heat in there for your room? You can't. So that's to an extent what we do have a thermostat there. Oh yeah, right here. There's a thermostat down here. The hard thing is that with so many rooms so close together, it's not quite exact as you're probably used to at home. So you can have it to a couple degrees, but it still is pretty hard to regulate with this many rooms all trying to have exact... Right now it's pretty chilly and it's a hot day out. So at least you're comfortable in there. Best day of our jeans, honestly. Kelsey asked, can you measure the floor space between the beds, like the rug size question, which we answered? Yes, four by six, five by six. She'll be asked, how tall from the floor to the ceiling? And I guess that's just a general floor to the ceiling question. I'm not sure how tall it is, but we can measure that. Yeah, I'll level it steady. So if we come all the way down here, we move it over. Yeah, straighten up. It's actually eight feet. Eight feet is the height of this room. Okay, let's see. How long is each desk? We'll just give them the length real quick. The top of the length. It's 42 inches. Okay, great. Well, that is the end of the question. So why don't we dip into those two rooms? Yeah. That we said we would. Yeah. Thanks for all the great questions. We enjoyed that. Yeah. So we said 418, I think was one of them we were going to check out. 920 was one and 918 was one. Okay. So we'll dip into 918 because she said 1. Yes. So... Here's your room. I think your name was Madeleine. I don't know if it's not Madeleine, but I'm sorry. Here's your room. Great. It's basically the same thing. Basically the same thing. Yeah. It's always nice. I mean, I was totally that person too. I was like, hey, can you go into Yocum 809? And if we're on the floor and we're doing these tours, we don't mind checking it out. We don't have the time to go through all the floors, unfortunately. Yeah. This is 920. So someone asked about this and we'll go to the other side just to show you that view. Yeah. So here it is. So again, basically the exact same room. The exact same dimensions. It's all the same. Okay. And then let's go to the other side. Let's pass through and check a look at that view on the other side. Yeah. So I'll give you some of Molly's tips. You're welcome, Mackenzie. We're happy to do it. So here's one on the other side. Same exact layout. That's how all of these tours are going to be. Let me... Show the view. This side. So that's your resident reserve parking lot. You should be getting emails about that right now. And that's Cleveland right out there. And this is just a nice view of Fayetteville. Do you know if the 06 on this floor is stadium view or Cleveland view? I think it's Cleveland view because I think it starts at the elevator with one. Okay. And then it goes down. Great. Let's see if we've got any more. If you go to housing.ur.edu and you click on campus communities and go to Reed Hall, it will give you the floor pan of each room and it will tell you. Okay. We're going to take one last request for a room because it just came in. That would be our last one. Okay. So Madison asked to see 902. Madison, we will love to see 902. I'll give you some tips about freshman year. If you decide to do sorority treatment, that's great. That's a really good point to get involved. I did it and I love it. It's also going to be nice for all of you who aren't in sorority treatment. You're going to get some more time with your families and it's so easy to get involved here on campus. I want to make sure I'm going the right way. Hold on. Yeah, you're going to? Yes. Okay. I'm going the right way. Definitely getting involved is super easy here on campus on the first week, which we call syllabus week. You can go and there's a bunch of booths set up and they'll tell you all the different clubs. Like I'm in the advertising club because that's for my major and I'm in the PR SSI because that's for my major and I'm in the razor ad booster club. I'm an officer. It's so easy just to get involved. There's something called OrgSync. I don't know. HogSync? HogSync, yeah. You can go on there and you can actually see all the lists of RSOs here on campus. Also, don't be lazy. Do your homework. It's not that hard. It's different because you don't have your mom and your dad constantly nagging on you, telling what you need to get done. So you're all on your own. Pace yourself. Try not to do it the night before. I'm still guilty of doing it and I have accounting that's due tonight that I'm about to go do and you know just get it done so that way you don't have to worry about the rest of the week and you can go out and you can go do things. Have fun with friends. Explore Fayetteville. You know there's so much opportunity around here. Get a job. I wouldn't suggest first semester but second semester is what I would suggest getting a job.
