Yep. So if you go there, there's awesome events that different organizations are hosting So it's a great chance to pick one get involved and start going to organizations As soon as you guys get here, so definitely take a look into that. So we're gonna keep on with our tour. Yes So head around this way You can notice that there are some mailboxes here since it's where if you have letter of mail Somebody said to you letters or anything like that that mail will go right here and each person is assigned one I believe you share it with your roommate as well. So you guys will have that mailbox We're gonna head downstairs actually to check out the basement One thing to know There's a trash room on a shoot on the second and third floor, but there's not one on the first floor So if you're on the first way you can come down to the trash room and bring your bag trash right here to the store Or you can go up the floor and use the trash you Have the basement So this is kind of just a me little lounge area with a empty fireplace Just a place you can sit hang out people usually be down here studying doing things like that There's a couple puzzles back here. So if you want to start a puzzle, there's plenty of space to do a puzzle or something like that Behind us is some recycling that you can do as well Cycling's a big big big thing and then another open kind of space with the TV Watching movies and things like that. This is kind of the only community space in Gregson So this is where a lot of people hang out and just do things study Isn't know each other programming will happen down here most likely More than anywhere else and in here is the kitchen Pretty big size kitchen is ice machine. There as well if you need ice And all the essentials fridge looks like we have two microwaves pretty handy And if you don't have your own kitchen supplies, you can read some pots You can buy yeah, right as some pots of pans up there You just give them your student ID at the front desk and they can I'll give you some quick kitchen equipment and stuff It's I lived in Gregson. I was a sophomore and I was down here quite a bit Cooking and doing things and a lot of them there's a lot of international students to live here at the time And so they were cooking I out what try a lot of really good food So here's a laundry room. This is the only laundry room in the building and it's here in the basement so for laundry we have a laundry app actually it's called laundry alert and you can use that to Find out if there's a washer or dryer open and you can also use it like as a timer or something like that if you need to And it's really really handy if you want to download it You can also just kind of come down here and check and see if something's open and use a timer on your phone Laundry is included in your housing fees, but when you come here, you don't have to use coins or anything Some of them you might see there's like a little slot But don't worry about that. You don't have to put coins or anything You just need to bring your own detergent dryer sheets or whatever Tide pods are fine. I use tide pods almost exclusively. So those work just fine for doing your laundry A couple of vending machines They won't be stocked when the deer starts so they'll go empty right now and then the pool table All the pool equipment is down here right now. That might not be the case So if you come down here and the pool equipment is not down here It'll be at the front desk that you can check out and There's a co-ed bathroom down here as well You need to so you don't have to go all the way upstairs and sit back there This right here is a cool little spot So there's two like study rooms in here actually and you can see there's like a door You can shut in there and you really can't hear anything going on in there unless people are like being extremely loud So it's a really nice place to hear taking a test or something And you don't want to be in the same room as your roommate You can come to this like small space right there and get that done and most likely nobody's gonna bother you Because they're not gonna come all the way in here and then around the corner See there's ping-pong table check that out at the front desk if you'd like to play and then another I See this uses a lot more like a group study area because they have a big white board So that's a really nice kind of a digital thing. You're working on group projects or something like that So that's it for the basement. We're gonna keep going. We're gonna head upstairs and check out a bathroom and then a resident room We do have our water fountains. You can use this rear billable water stations So if you can bring your own water bottle, that's great And you tab it right here on the floor you can fill it up and do like that So you have to keep using it reusing water bottles if you can help it And here's the restroom, so there's two bathrooms on every floor one on each end I believe this is the ladies side so this will be a women's bathroom Funny story. There are urinals. So when Greg said this bill was an all-boys dorm So they have urinals. Normally there's like flowers in the urinals, so it's kind of cute and funny But there's no flowers in there right now Hopefully they come back. And then here is kind of the shower situation Nice spacious shower And there's a little bench in here too that you can set your things down So if you bring a little shower catty or something, you can just sit it there on the bench And you can it's a whole stall. So you just shut it and we're good to go This is room 141 all the rooms are gonna look almost exactly like this. So All the furniture is going to be the same These are probably one of the biggest rooms on campus. That's really nice very spacious You have two dressers, two desks And there's also some overhead storage here. So if you have a school or something that you can get up there There's actually a lot of room up there too, so If you guys have any questions about any dimensions or anything about the room go ahead and ask But in the meantime, um, do you have any advice for incoming students? Yeah, I'd say have fun take advantage of the opportunities that are available to you and there's gonna be a lot of them I know some people always say like don't say yes to too much But honestly like say yes And then you can decide later if you like don't really want to but there's gonna be so many fun Opportunities and you want to like second-guess it. I say go for it. Try it out. Try new things Because what else is college for and then try to do things and learning more about yourself? So don't be afraid to say yes, but also, you know, you can say no when you need to you can turn things down even after you say yes I would say Like Christian said get involved. There's gonna be a lot of different events or organizations Do you guys know, you know find some interest and stuff like that get some new people Definitely get to know your RA. We have an RA on each floor Most communities here we have I think five RAs to them or like our community focus one the other ones are gonna be more focused on Different other special areas. So get to know your RA. They're a great resource Crystal was an RA one of my RA's a couple a year ago But get to know them. They're like I said a great resource to get you connected to the community everything So yeah, we're super excited to have you all here in a couple weeks. Do we have any questions or anything? Wow questions. That's a first. Well, do you have any questions? If you're watching this later afterwards like a recording like that, feel free to email you a housing at you are or email me at jdgem You in at you are DLU and I can answer any questions you guys might have for dimension The same thing if you email housing, okay? We got a few questions. Oh, someone asked which side is a and which side is b Yeah, so when you walk in Usually a and then be This just depends on the way this rules are sometimes structured But obviously it doesn't really matter too much right when you get here You can choose which side that you'd like to have sometimes a B is just how we kind of Associate when we're doing charges and buildings and stuff But usually if there is any sort of charge inside, we would talk to you in your roommate see what that's going on But it's just more of a formality for a B So really you can just pick which side that you'd like to and you guys can arrange or arrange the furniture however You like anything that can be arranged which in here everything's moveable. So that's awesome Taylor asks how many drawers are in each dresser? Yeah, each drawer has Three yeah, each stretch has three drawers and then the guys also have two And Addie asks can the beds be lofted? Yeah, they can be lofted. So as you can see there's different problems on here So if you go to our housing at a move-in website That actually gives you instructions of like which each peg like how high how high it can go and how low and What are the you know dimensions of stuff like that for that sort of thing if you decide? Hey, I don't like to have my bed the highs you can go for move-in or Or a certain height you can request at our housing yet You are if you go to our housing website and you go to fix it or fix it requests or maintenance requests You can put in there and submit a work order and there'll be notified when it's complete That way you have to deal with it when you move in But if you decide you'd rather do it when we get a chance to actually look at you can still submit a day out And we'll go around to it as soon as we can Yeah That's it. Yeah, I guess that's all the questions. Well, we appreciate y'all and we'll see y'all then here shortly
