 Good afternoon. Welcome to our UROC home life tour of Gregson Hall. My name is Courtney. I'll be showing you guys around today. I'm a junior here at the University of Arkansas and I'm actually from Fayetteville so feel free to ask me any questions about the city. Recording for us today is Channing. I'll let her introduce herself. Hello everyone. My name is Channing. I am a senior communication major and I'm from Springville Arkansas and I will be behind the camera today. So if you have any questions, please let us know and we will answer those throughout the video. Awesome. So before we go in, I want to show you all of the stuff that's surrounding us. It's basically everything. I'll start in this direction. If you just walk down a little bit you can see the stadium and the hyper from here. So that's really convenient. There's workout stuff for students in the hyper and a pool that you can use. And then you've got Yocum and Humphreys over here and a club red which is super close and super convenient. It's just a little like store. It's kind of like a gas station I would say. Snacks and all sorts of stuff in the air. Your closest dining hall is going to be Brough which is right on top over there. And then you've got Starbucks really close which is a great study spot. And then Founders which has lots of restaurants and slams where the wild greens are. Those are just good options for meal trade at night. You can go use a meal swipe there. And then the business colleges right over here. Temple. We're right on Dixon Street which is iconic and fable so that's super convenient. And then you've got Gibson right here and the union is walking distance and there's also a bus station over here. So you're right in the middle of all of it. This is a perfect spot. There's a lot going on. Yeah. So we're gonna head inside. Oh thank you. We have a fob system here. Security so from what your mom called. Greg's some logs they call this place. It's been around for quite a while. There's always going to be people here so this is where you'll come if you want to rent stuff for the kitchen or games. If you have any questions you can come ask people at the front desk. And then this is where you're going to get your mail so packages and everything you'll just come to the front desk to pick it up. They just send you an email and let you know when you have something so you'll know when you come get it. So yeah we're gonna go downstairs and show you all the fun stuff. I like this flooring. I think it's called oh what is this stuff called? The terrazzo? Terrazzo. Yeah it's kind of elegant flooring. Yeah yeah this place. Also a camp building right now so we do have summer camps. Some people in and out. We do a number of summer camps on campus during the summer. It's always a nice situation. So we're in the basement and this is where the common space is. This is recycling right here. This is a good room to hang out. There's a TV if you want to have a movie night. Yeah it's a pretty big TV in there. People always have like watch parties or something. And here's the kitchen. It's kind of loud but you've got your ice machine and fridge and then all this stuff is open for you to use if you decide to cook it and then I'll go to a dining hall. Did you cook pretty much? I did. I would make cookies and stuff. My RAs would always make stuff for us if they have talk or night. What hall did you? I lived in Green. Okay. And just like there if you do want to make cookies or something they'll have stuff like cookies and things for you to use at your breakfast and they'll just show them your student ID and you get to use those with that charge. It's in your student or your housing fee. It's already covered. Just like laundry rooms. You don't have to bring quarters for your laundry. This is the laundry room. So as you can see there's like little scans and numbers on all our machines because we use an app called Laundry Alert which is very convenient because instead of having to come down and check and see if anything's available or sit and wait for your laundry you can just put in the number machine you're using and we'll send you notifications and let you know when your stuff's done or showed it. So saves you a lot of time. It's really nice and we have the app information on the wall so when you're here you can just look there and add it. It's really nice. Any tips or tricks about the best time? Come whenever everyone's at class or like on test day if you don't have a test that's the time. Yes. There's times when everyone will just try and do it at once so don't come there. Come whenever you're free. Yeah. Or if you're a night owl like me, I'm really late. So here you have my new machine which you can use. Apple Pay which is really cool in your car. Nice and hot. Don't worry, stop it out in the school store. Pool table, bathroom. It's where you'll meet a lot of people. You have pool player? I'm really bad. Really? You're so bad. What do you play? I play. My grandpa has a pool table and I always attempt but I'm not the best. So this is, we have some study rooms. I think I can get the light. So you can use these and have like study sessions. You know, you'll make friends in your classes and so some people study better in groups so you can always use these. Most residence halls, all of them for sure have a room that you can use to study in. And there's also two other ones in this area but our guests are using them right now. It's nice to sit in a little box box because it like shuts out the sound for you. Yeah. We're gonna head upstairs. Like I said, there is class plus in here on the other half of the basement and it's basically just a place that you can use for academic resources and community help. I know I have an inside in there which you have acquired for some classes but we're climbing up three flights of stairs to go to the third floor. So now we're going to go slow so nobody loses their breath including the watchers. Yes. Where is everybody from who's watching? Yeah. I'd love to know what cities are coming from to come to the university. Yeah. Me and Jenny are both from Northwest Arkansas so Springdale's not far from here. Yeah. Do you have places to eat? Oh, I love ham and trees on Dixon Street. They have the best grilled cheeses ever. Everyone loves ham and cheese. It's amazing. Yes. It's always great if you like some cheese or fried rice and stuff like that. Oh yes. Can't go wrong. There's a lot of good stuff on place. I'm trying to think. Yeah, there's a lot of good local places. Yes. Oh, we have food trucks which are really good. Oh yeah. Definitely. You can walk up here. There's some new ones too. Yeah. I heard about there's that egg roll food truck. There's always a new stuff. I need to try that. I love it. All right, we're on the third floor. Yes, we're on the third floor. I'm winded. Me too. We're going into the bathroom first. So yeah, there's gonna be a couple of things on every floor over here. You can see there's really good lighting, big mirrors. This would be an example of our community-style bathrooms. And we had a community-style bathroom too. Is that right? Yes, it did. You get used to it. It's not that little. I remember I was kind of scared, but it's fine. You told me that flip flops and shower caddy or bus. Yes, flip flops and shower caddy. So the showers have this little room. We've changed the room outside. If you want to go look, then there you can. Do you mind if I go to the other room? Oh yeah, I understand. So we can ask the city inside. Yeah. Yeah. Since the architecture of that. Definitely. Go buy cheap flip flops. Yes. It's really bright in here. It's so bright. I love it. This is 341. If anybody wants you can put them in here. Let us know. Thanks. This is what it will look like when you go in. Kim said that she is living here this upcoming semester. Awesome. What room? Yeah. Yeah, what room? So I'll show you this up. Was it? You get so high. Oh yeah. And then I'm short, so I don't know if I can reach this, but you can have a little storage spot up there. I think when we were touring Gibson, which is a very similar hall, the Grace is the CRE there and is also the CRE here. So a lot of people just get big plastic tubs and just push them up there. Yeah. Place just for storage and whatnot. And then also these beds you can loft. So you can see the notches. You can lift these up and you can also request to get an even higher, like you can add one of these things on so you can loft it even higher, but that way you can put your desk under there if you want or just storage. I know I put, I just bought those plastic doors from Walmart and put those under mine, but these are all removable. So you can kind of design this hardware you prefer. You've got a big mirror built in, so that's nice. Can you each get some choice? She tells us what room? Yeah. So Kim is going to stay in room 309. Let's see the one on the third floor. Yeah, yeah. Let me get you. Okay. Okay, I'm going to show you a church in these chairs. They're called gamer chairs. I'm not the biggest gamer in the world, but there's a little handle. That is so cool. And then you have this other one. Yeah, so if you have friends come over, need some extra seating. That's super nice. Being back, I would just hide it under my bed and I never use it, but when you have friends over it. Oh yeah. And the new bookshelves are nice and decorate. Everybody always makes them look good. Oh, yeah. You want to show them the locking? Oh, they don't have that in here. Let's see. You should have some locking space. Okay. If you want to measure the mattress. Yes. Oh, you can use my hand. Okay. I'll use her in school. Yeah. This is really, really cool. Just a little laser and it measures that way. I hope they are in front of you so it's straight. It says 65 inches. 65 inches. Six times 12. 72. Let's look. So plus five would be 70. 78 inches. 78 inches long. Yeah. And I think they're the same size. Let's go check the other one just to make sure. Yeah, I think both are in here at the same. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're the same. Same size. Awesome. Here's your clothes I was out, but I believe the whole building here are going to be set one here, but we kind of have a little bit of... It's a great time to ask us questions. Yeah. You may want to know. Do you have any measurements you want to know on this like a little laser in the back for you? But yeah. You also have a towel rack on the back of your closet, so that's nice. You definitely used that. I know how to do it. Yeah. I like the big nears that comes with these. Mm-hmm. You know what, I wonder if I check out for you or not. Yeah. I think since someone's tuned in, we're going to do that. Yeah. That's the least we can do. Yeah. It's always fun to see your room. Yeah, we're in the 340s, 320s. It is on the other side of the hallway. We'll get there. It's worth it. Oh, I wonder, do I use trash here? Yeah, we do use trash sheets. Okay, so here's one too. Well, that's nice because then you don't have to carry your trash down, so trash you. Literally put your trash in the chute and it goes down. Karen wants to know, are those regular twin mattresses or extra long twin? I think 78 gets into that extra long category. 80 I think is a standard extra long, so it's right in that range. Okay. And we'll measure the one down here again just to verify. Yeah, I can't remember what type of bedding I got. We typically think of larges as 75 or less. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, you're right by this window. Yeah. So, Kim, if you're still watching, here is your room. A little study area right there. Yeah. This is my favorite, so you don't have to walk in the library, you know your room. You've got it right next to you, so that's really nice. Yeah. And it's a two-window, so it's right there on the window. Oh yeah, two windows. Also, just by the way, they come with this cable box and remote, so if you bring TV you'll have that. We have all this digital cable and you have HBO as well. Yeah. A couple of HBO's. I think the plural of HBO is HBO's, right? I don't know. I'm a Netflix person, to be honest with you. Gotcha. Well, let's go ahead and measure the mattress again just real quick, just to make sure. So, 78 inches long is what we're getting. 78. It should be 36 in the other direction. Yes. The same. Are you ready to get out of here? Kim said that's a nice view. It is nice. You wouldn't get out there. In the fall, these trees are going to be gorgeous. Oh, that is so true. Yeah. That's simple, right? No, that's rough. That's rough. Rough and founders. Oh yeah, founders. Super nice. You're at the top of Dick's Street. So, you can see the Greek theater over there too. Oh, that's neat. Cool. And you'll have that wonderful view of Mount Sycamore, Mount Sequoia, sorry, Mount Sequoia over there. Way out there. It changes beautifully when the Ozarks turn purple and gold and red. Mount Sequoia is my favorite place to go to watch the sunset, so if you love that, because I do, that's a really good spot. I'm ready to start changing. Can't wait to know how high can we put the beds up. So here, if you just keep this, so you were to add another one, then I'm usually measured one that was all the way lofted from the bottom of the mattress down at five feet. Yeah, I think you're right. So, and that was just enough to put the desk under it. If you choose to do that, or whatever you want, some people will bring little lexies, little couches instead. Definitely enough space to put a desk under you. Yeah. Hi, Stelina. That's my neighbor. Hello. Yeah, any other measurements? I don't have any questions right now. Now you know what those style rooms look like. I'd love to go to show you your room. Yeah. 309, right? 309. 309. So cool. Yeah, do you guys have any other questions? Feel free to ask and go back for you and look at the comments. But our schedule for the other UR Come Life Jours is online. I'll move it left side. So if you want to watch those, feel free. But thank you for tuning in. I'm glad we could show you guys around. See ya.
