We are touring Yocum Hall today, so let us know if you have any questions. Send them in the comments. Also, if you want to just now joining, tune in and let us know where you're joining from. Yeah, so this is Yocum. Behind y'all is the Walton School business right across the street, so it's really convenient if you're a business major. Next to Walton is the Kimball Hall, which is like the English building. And then for your dining options, you've got founders. You've got like a 1021, which is a cafeteria. You've got a slimmish shake ins. You have a sushi bar, curry corner, all that good stuff. Where the wild greens are is right there too. Where the wild greens are too. Yeah. The Diamond Neighborhood, if you didn't know that. Awesome. Ready head inside? Yeah. Someone asked if we'll answer specific questions on room measurements. We will be doing that. That is to come when we go to the rooms. Awesome. So here's the office as we pass by. Yeah. So this is the lounge. We have lots of programs here. It's a good place to chill. Over here we have the mail. It's for like paper mail. If you have like a big package, you're going to pick it up from the front office. And a good reminder that you will share your mailbox with your roommate if you have one. So your mail will go to the same box. Awesome. Where are we headed to next? The basement. Perfect. Some water fountains. Good place to fill your water. How many floors is Yocum made up of? I believe nine. Yes. Well, hello there. Hi. How are you? How are you? Good. Who are you? I'm Justynda. I'm going to be the SRA or the senior RA of Yocum next year. Perfect. Awesome. You're going to join us along the way? Yeah. Yeah. Well first, before we go, do you have any advice for incoming freshmen? First year students? When you move in, like that first eight week when people are hanging out, just don't be scared of people. Hang out with people. Introduce yourself. Our floors are super great for communities. So just keep your door open and say hi when people walk past. Awesome. Thank you. How long have you been with Yocum? I've been with you for three years. So super fun. I love it here. I ask to come back every year. So get excited. Yocum's awesome. Yay. Awesome. Let's go look at the snack area. We are in the basement, right? We are. Yes. Oh, and you have recycling. We have a recycling here. Is that important? Yes. I think every dorm or hall has a really awesome recycling spot. So you can use Apple Pay on these and get snacks before you go to class. It's awesome little corner, some monster in case you're tired. And what's your drink of choice? What's your condiment or convenience thing of choice? I got to say tea. Tea. Okay. Sweet or unsweet? Which old question? We're going to lift in sweet tea. Very southern. Awesome. So this is a basement common area. We have a phone booth here without phones. These are old. There's several of them though. And we have a kitchen over here. Small kitchen. Got your stove and oven. So we have another lounge area here. Pool tables, heat pond tables. You're going to run out the equipment from the front office. Well, not rent. More borrow. Yeah, check it out. Yeah, just leave your city ID card and they'll give you what you need. Awesome. You also out the windows, you have an amazing view of the hills over there and parking as well. Beautiful, beautiful. There's a TV. I bet do people watch series over here? Do they have like a Tuesday night, you know, certain show they come and watch together? I know a lot of halls have little groups of people that like to come and do that. Yeah, we do a lot of our programs down here. So once a month there's like all hall where the entire dorm gets together and we like eat free food, maybe get some free stuff, do crafts, watch movies. All the best stuff. We hang out a lot down here. All the free food. Awesome. All right. Can we head to Laundry? I know that's down here. Yeah, just a minute away. Just a minute away. Just around the corner. Any summer programming? You guys are streaming? Anything worth watching? Any recs? The Summer Artem pretty. Oh, what's that one? One of my friends is talking about that. The Summer Artem pretty. Watch it. What's it on? Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime. You've got a door span. I'm waiting to watch the second season, Yasmin, if you're watching this. I'm waiting to watch it, to watch with my RA friends when we all get back. So it's a friend show. You can't watch until... Yeah, we all watch it together and now we have to wait. Okay. It's a little bit loud, so we might have to speak pretty loud, but this is the Laundry Room. Tell us about Laundry. So you're in a download of the Speak Between app, so you get two loads per week. You want an additional load, you have money to your account. It's $1.50 each time, so three dollars total. You can wash and dry, but we shouldn't need to wash your clothes more twice a week. Yeah, and if you need to, you can pay a little bit extra, but yes, download the Speak Between app. That app, you will already have an account created for you with your UR email and information, so you just have to sign in. You don't even have to create an account. You just swipe, I believe it. Yes. Yep. And there's also the ice machine. That's awesome. All right. All right. So, can we go upstairs? Yeah. Headed upstairs. Someone said Floor 7 gang. How do you feel about Floor 7? I lived in Floor 7 two years ago. I love Floor 7. Are we going to Floor 4? I think we are, yes. We're going to Floor and touring some of the rooms there. That's okay. If you're living on 7 this year, you'll have an awesome girl named Mary as your RA. She's the best. You'll love her. If you're living here, send any questions you have in the chat. We're about to head up to one of the rooms. See people from Texas, some people from Dallas specifically. Lots of Texas people here, lots of Dallas people here. Brian Arkansas. Welcome, welcome. I like how Dallas covers more than just Dallas. Yeah. From the area, Dallas. Yeah. And then you're like, where are you actually from? So, we might briefly lose connection as we go up in the elevator. We might not. Just a heads up. Mind the gap too, as far as not dropping any funds down there. That happens frequently. I think it tastes fine. I always fill up my water bottle and this little thing. Yes. Yeah. Because this is filtered. Yeah. I don't, you ever use this part, which I guess you could, but I always just fill up right here or you can get a burn out. So, if you're not using the filter water, I will say our water comes from Beaver Lake and then as the season changes, the lake will, the bottom part will come to the top because of the change in the temperature and it will be a few days where the water is a little different. That's a natural process. Awesome. So, what room are we headed to? We can go check out the bathrooms first. Bathrooms first. Okay. Good, good. Let's go this way. Yeah, I think we've opened up some doors on this one. That's fine, I've been there. Okay, we just take a loop by the stairway. This is a co-ed building. Do you know how many nodes are here? Five hundred and some? Yeah, five hundred and some. So, pretty big community. It's about 50 per floor, right? It's 55. Yeah. So, we have two showers and two stalls. Let's peek in here just so people know. Yep, so two stalls. Rotate back. This is nice, you have a little changing area too. Have some privacy and a hook. Awesome. Yeah, so these are your showers that you'll be using in Yokum and there is two of them in each bathroom and I believe there's a bathroom on both sides of the hall and four sinks. We can take a pass through there. Okay. Because we've opened up one on the other side. Let's check out the pipe chase room first. Okay. Look at that. Look at that. That's not progress. Okay. This has got a stairwell on each side of the building. If the elevator is going too slow, people use the stairs. Be sure you lock it though on your Apple watch or your Fitbit. Yeah. Someone asked how does co-ed work by floor or by section? It depends on the floor. So, this floor right now is all guys and there's other floors like that as well. Some of the floor is like seventh floor. Half of the floor is guys and the other half is girls. So, it just kind of depends when we also have all-girl floors. So, it just depends on your floor. I'm not going too far. No, I think it's down. She knows. Well, I heard her lead the way. Yes. Long-term resident. Okay. So, first we're going to look at 417. This is one of two rooms we'll be looking at and this is called a pipe chase room. So, this is the special case scenario where there's this little pipe chase moment in the corner. These do come with a TV. I believe all of them do and tell us a little bit about it. So, you have a really nice view to the south. You can see the football stadium. It's only about 10 minutes of walking. Yeah. Really close. Really great view. How often do bathrooms get cleaned? I believe daily. Yeah. Twice a day and then on the weekends if something's like really out of the ordinary and RA it will clean. Yep. Awesome. Well, we are in a pipe chase room currently. So, if you have any questions about dimensions, make sure you send those in the chat. We can answer them while we're here before we move on to the typical rooms. Someone said no water filters, just nature. No, residents typically really like these rooms. They're really cozy. You can move the furniture around compared to our other rooms you can. So, you get like a rug, some lights. It's always really cozy and nice and the TV now thinks they can't beat that. You know, it doesn't take storage away. And this is room 417, right? Yes. Someone asked that again. We are in room 417. If this is your room, let us know if we're in your room currently for the fall. Yes. And this is the only type of room that has movable furniture. Someone said dimensions please. Make sure you specify what dimensions. But we can just real quick maybe get the window dimensions, which there is this little chunk in the corner. We'll also get the walls at a moment. Long reach. You got it? 10 feet. 10 feet, 7 inches and then maybe height. Yep. 4 feet, 11 inches. 4 feet, 11 inches and then let's also just get this counter. One foot exactly. One foot. Okay. And then could you somehow go from this wall all the way across? So maybe hold it up against the wall here. Oh, that works. Set it on the edge of the bed. Can you see where the dot's going? To the wall. Perfect. 11 feet, 9 inches. 11 feet, 9 inches. Yeah, seems all right. Roughly. Okay, someone asked about the space underneath the TV. So if we could just go from the bottom of the TV to the floor, that'd be great. And then maybe also the width of the wall. Five and a half feet. Five and a half feet. Awesome. The width of this wall, which is going to be hard. Let me come over here so you can put the dot on my hand from that side to this side. 3 feet, 8 inches. 3 feet, 8 inches roughly. Awesome. Well, if we don't have any other questions, this is 417. I think we're going to move on. How many outlets are there in here? Just real quick. Do we know? 1, 2, 3, 4. At least 4. At least 4. There might be 5 if one's hiding back here. I think there is, yes. So there is 5 in this room, which means there is 10 outlets. Awesome. Let's go. If you're just joining, let us know where you're tuning in from. And if you have any questions, we are now headed to room I believe for 419. So this is what most rooms will look like here in Yoko. Tons of built-in storage. Quick view. Someone asked about inside a closet. So right after we kind of get the view of the room, we will measure the closet for you. Once again, amazing views. And this is only the fourth floor. Imagine going up even higher. Yes. So these are the closets. Mirrors. All the storage. Okay. Now let's get those closets. So to this shelf, that's about 5 feet and 2 inches. And then how long is the pole for clothes? Yeah. All the way across there. 3 feet 10 inches. 3 feet 10 inches. Well, this little shelf, huh? How long? Yeah. 8 inches. 8 inches. And then the top one can you reach? 1 foot 8 inches. So 20 inches. Yes. So that first room we did tour, it was a pipe chase room. Someone asked, yes, that's what that was. And now we're in what the majority of the rooms will look like. Okay. Could you tell them about the 3D presentations they can find online? Yeah. Where they can measure things as well. Yeah. Let me flip the camera real quick. So if you go to housing.york.edu and scroll down. Halls. Go to Halls. Go to the Halls. Specific Hall. Yes. Down to the Explorer area of the page. Okay. So you go to the Explorer area of the page and there you can actually walk through all of the halls yourself. It's kind of a virtual, it's called Matterport. It's a virtual tour and you can even measure things in there for yourself. So if you have additional questions that we can't get to, that's a great place to look on our website that is something new and it's there just for you to use. Thank you. Yeah. Someone asked, can the bed be lifted before move in? Absolutely it can. And tell us about that. Put in a fix-it request or? Yeah. So just google fix-it york and then you can get to the little request portal. But you can just ask for them to have it lofted before you get here and you tell them a certain height or anything. And they'll typically try to get all those requests fulfilled but yeah it should be lofted. Yeah I believe there's a date. Do we know the date for that? You have to do it by the end of the month. By the end of the month. So if you want your bed lofted ahead of time before you get here that does need to be sent by the end of this month. But we will have rubber mallets and stuff for you at move in. If like you don't get that requested you can do it yourself super easily for just a rubber mallet and we'll have those available for you. Awesome. Any other questions about dimensions? I think we did get closet dimensions. Let's also get this counter right here. How deep is the counter? How comes the lofting? 5 feet 10 inches all the way across. And two feet. Two feet. Okay sorry what was that you were saying? The lofting is done with these little pins here and this one in particular can go from it does every three inches from 24 inches to 59 inches. Beautiful. And it's just if you want to turn it you have to knock it out with a rubber mallet turn this thing around if you want to hang it up high. Yes. So you can see here. So you can do it yourself or you know have a friend help you maybe a family member help you but we will do it in advance if you do that. Someone asked how high is the ceiling? Could we get from floor to ceiling? Yeah. Straight up to the ceiling here. All right. Eight inches exactly. Eight feet. Eight inches high ceilings now. Eight feet. Can we measure from the top of the bookshelf to the ceiling? Yes. So this shelf here to the ceiling. Exactly. Yeah exactly. Beautiful. Two feet. Yeah so you've got these built-in drawers here for your desk shelving and even cork boards since that's what this is behind the behind the bed top so that's awesome. You can also I've seen a lot of people buy fabric because they didn't like the color of this and just kind of cover it with whatever looked nice to them. Fabric and you just like pin it in and then you can take it off at the end of the year super easy. Yeah and then some people buy like little like command shelves for the size of this. The big thing that I do as someone who lives here is if you buy like a shower curtain rod like the top of this and you buy like a curtain it kind of closes your closet because you're a little bit more privacy for storage. Yes. I mean it can get pretty messy in these closets. But it is a lot of closet space compared to most. Yeah it's huge. So yeah the curtain comes in handy. I use the curtain because I love it and then you know cute little decor for the shelves. Someone has an additional question about the bulletin board. Can we get the dimensions of it so that they know how much fabric they would need? Either one. It does measure from the bottom of the device you're holding. Just so you know. Yeah from the very bottom. So you want the bottom of it to be at the height of the... you got it? Yeah yeah. It's three feet. Well that's the the dot's going down there. Put your hand at the bottom. There you go. That'll do it. You're good. So two feet exactly. Two feet and then one side to the other. One inches. Awesome. So almost three. One other note I'll make is that removable wallpaper is not allowed. Anything that would has a substantial chance of causing damage to the paint is not it's not allowed. We don't want to charge you for it and so we prohibitively say don't don't don't do removable wallpaper. Especially stuff that like sticks in the drawers. Like a lot of people do that. I was trying to see if there was someone here. It's usually on the girls floors but they stick it in the drawers and then you can't peel it off because even if it says it'll peel off but these are like very old wood. So like it'll just rip the drawer apart if you try. So maybe don't do that. Did you do lead hogs or anything for pick one when you were a first year? Yeah I was in lead hogs my freshman year. My freshman year was in 2020 so it was COVID but um yeah we did lead hogs and it was really really fun. Really good way to get involved. Um I learned a lot like leadership stuff and it got me involved as an RA so I really owe it everything. So that's awesome. Love lead hogs. And just so you guys know this is being recorded it'll be on our reels in Instagram and also on YouTube um later this week or next week very soon. So for instance if you want to know those closet measurements that we took you can watch this back and see what those were. How many outlets are in this room? I believe it's also five. Yes awesome. So can we maybe point out the location of those? One, two. Two over the desk. Two by the mirror. One hidden over here. Let's see if we can show that. Yeah on the ledge there and I believe is there also is that it? That's it. That's it. Okay so two on this wall and three on this wall. Any other questions you guys? We are in room 419. Thank you. This is Yocum Live. If you're just now tuning in if you want to send in the chat where you where you are where you're tuning in from and yeah okay someone asked how wide is the bed post um from the outside post from outside post to outside post. Okay so like the length of the bed if I'm understanding that correctly. Okay yes so this is three feet two inches and six feet four inches. Someone asked are there any single rooms in Yocum? Um I don't believe so this year. Only RAs get that. Yeah um so I think pretty much every room is a double this year just due to like the size of the freshman class and space needs. Yes awesome and I guess we can do this measurement one more time. Also quick mention there are these poles on the back of the door great for hanging your towels after you shower and that kind of thing. Um how deep if we could get is the closet. So from the very outside point to the wall that's going to be two feet one inch. Two feet maybe an inch roughly and then if we go from the shelf um to the wall can you see what that is so for your actual clothes yeah. The depth? Yeah one feet three inches. Awesome and for the full height you can also watch this back it'll be posted under reels very shortly after after this live. Awesome any other question you guys? Send them our way we are here just for you to measure things and if we did not um answer your question send it again because sometimes it can be hard to scroll that far back.
