 Hi, I'm Bianca. I'm a senior conference ambassador and I will be showing you Futurel today. Hi, my name is Josie. I'm the CRE for Futurel Hall. Awesome. My name is McKenna Parsons. I'm an intern here for Housing. I'm Scott Parker. I work for Housing. All right. Right now, we're outside of Futurel. This is kind of called the courtyard. We have a lot of near sites around, like the bookstore, which is kind of covered by trees, but it is right there. You can get books there. Upstairs is like kind of like books, school supplies, all that kind of stuff. Downstairs is like a little merch store. So if you want some merch, that'd be the downstairs. There's also a coffee shop, a tech store down there. So it's really nice. Also, if you continue this strip, there's a Walmart on campus. It's small. It only really has like food and like toiletries and stuff like that. So very small things there in case you need something right on the spot. That Walmart on campus is very great. All right. So we're going to continue to Inside Futurel. Awesome. So what part of campus are we kind of on right now? Up the hill. Up the hill. Yeah. Up the hill. Up the hill. North side. I do not have a kitchen. Beautiful. Thank you. What do you think? South is honeycomb. This is north. So technically we are in the dog room. So we're going to continue this way. So over here is kind of the first floor, kind of the central area. There's a TV. You can rent out like games and stuff. You want to hang this little center here for if you want to do a little study with your friends. There's also a piano in there. Yeah, it's hidden. Oh, there's a small piano in there. But yeah, this is the central area. You can definitely study in here, chill with friends, talk, have fun. Not too much fun, but fun. And to continue back here this is all the first floor. And before we get out there we're going to introduce the desk. So at desk, if you have questions you go over there, a lot of RAs actually work at desk at like nine times. Okay, something happens. You can definitely contact desk. You can get equipment at desk. So like ping pong, pool, cues, things like that. Mail is not at Futurel's. Actually you want to go to Holcomb which is the neighborhood dorm that's right next to, they're kind of connected but I like actually can't walk through it. But this would be if you had any questions or things like that throughout the year. From here lockout, we'll actually see it. So these are just pretty. Yeah, they're just there. You have to get it at Holcomb if you have packages. All the addresses and stuff like that for Holcomb is on housing. So you can start sending stuff when you get here. And we're going to go to the best part in my opinion, downstairs, the dungeon. The cool room. Yeah. Do you want to talk a little bit about laundry? So I was going to do it when we get to the room. Oh, that's fine. This is kind of the cool room. I call it the crew room. I don't know. I think it looked cool. But again, this is more of a hangout area. Again, you have the ping pong table, the pool table, a TV, a little gathering area, a little counter if you want some food out. And it'll be here. If you go down here, we have a kitchen, a lot of vending machines. If you're hungry at 1am, you can come down here and get a snack. A little cooking area. Again, you can get equipment at the desk. So if you need a pot or a pan or a mug, that's all at desk. Someone asked, they saw that FUTUAL is open during breaks. Does that include the October fall break? Do you know? Do you see? It usually does include the fall break and October break, but that changes by year. And so you'll have to wait for the announcement, but that'll come pretty early on during the school year. And if you have any concerns, questions, things like that, you can definitely email housing. Awesome. Thank you. I call the cool room. I like to be down here. It's nice and cool. They've even got a movie room, which right now is not open. But back in the corner over there, there's nice lounge chairs and a big screen. And you can move right there. True. That's another spot you could do it. You could move you right there. Right there. Outside, right here, if you were to walk out these doors, there's a little courtyard. It's kind of under construction a little bit, but you definitely sit out here. If it's nice outside, you can do one workout there. Tan out there. I mean, people like to tan outside. Right here, we have the laundry room. I'm walking a little slow down. Come to the ice machine. Six dryers. Five washers. Next year, we'll be doing a paid cycle. So you get two free washers and two free drying. And then after that, it's going to be $150 for every extra cycle. And if you download Speed Queen, you can get that all set up. But don't make your own account. You will already have an account made for you. You just need to use your school stuff to sign in. Yep, you are. Lovely. I think that's the way everyone's been waiting for. We can kind of see the courtyard here too. Very fun. And we will go to the room. Which I think is what everyone's here to see. Medical needs. They have a women's center, you know, general, if you have the flu. Things like that. And the Walmart on campus is very close. You can just walk over there and get you some soup if you need soup for some reason. While we're here, we can measure it for you. And if there's any questions you can't get to, that's where you'll go to housing.uark.edu and you can measure it yourself in our concept 3D virtual tour that we have of all of the dorms. I mean, you can put a fridge right here. A mini fridge. I would put my cups up here. I think you're on now. But the events held here, you can go to Holcomb and Futural because they're so close. Which is like twice as much fun, you know? Yeah, there's a lot of events throughout the year in each community. I remember in my RA we would have a bunch of events like Donut, Day, Pie Day. You didn't pie anyone, you just ate pie. And things like that. So it's very fun. You get to meet people. It's very close by again. You'll have a roommate. So you'll get to know each other well, be in the same room. And I have seen an event where we pied people. We got to pie our a's. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, but again, I mean, I would even... I don't know what to say. I'll be asked to make those and get it there if it's too... But yeah, it's very accessible. Full bright, which is nice. Which beds are twin XL and just twin? I thought there...is this one the XL and this is long. Okay, it's similar with Pong Break. So twin XL is the one by the window and then the one by the door is a twin. Yes. So you'll see that on when you're in your housing, if you're in A and B side. But the longer one is usually by the window. Good clarification. I think we had one more. Can the beds in the rooms be bunked? Be bunked. They absolutely can. You can get a second one of these. This wooden...and stack it on top. You can stack it on top and the bed can go twice this height. All the way up. And when you go all the way up the desk can go under. You can put storage. There's so many options when you loft your bed. Maybe bring a cozy chair to study in. It's up there, but you can definitely loft it all the way. That's what a lot of people like to do. Yes. Yes, yeah. I am not sure about the cost. I would check the housing website. But if you want your bed lofted and you're unsure about doing it yourself, don't want to damage the bed and potentially be fined. You can always ask maintenance by putting in a fix it request or a URC maintenance request. If you just google that, it's one of the first options. And then plugging all your info in and they'll do it for you. Yes. So you don't have to do it by yourself. Which is very nice. Very helpful. Let's see. We might have another question. Which bed is A and which is B? Do we know that? Yeah. So I believe that it would be the similar two-pomperate. So A, correct. I don't know. I kind of know when our room did not just pick the bed. That's what we did in my room. We just picked the window on the side. I didn't even know it was a difference. Technically when you pick your room you do also pick a side of the room. Yeah. So this is A and this is B. And B is the one by the window that will be an XL bed. And there's diagrams on the housing website as well to tell you a little bit more about like the beds that are XL, the exact beds in your room, your exact bed space that you're assigned to. That can be found online just in case you have more questions. Yes. Your housing portal. And as always these lives will be saved. It'll be under Reels on our Instagram account and on YouTube as well later this month. So you can definitely watch this back since I see some people asking about that. In another cool thing is you can have a lock on your door. Yes. In case you have anything private. Sure. So someone asked when the bed is raised not lofted. So I'm assuming they mean as high as this how much space under the bed will there be? Do we have the measuring tools got? I would go from maybe the second wrong here because there's also going to be the metal pole. So from there I'd put it a little bit lower. Two feet and seven inches. So if you're not going to loft your bed but you just want to raise it as high as possible that looks like it's going to be about two feet and seven inches for storage. Any questions you guys? Keep them coming. So do we know if corner rooms are larger than the rest of the rooms? It should be larger. It should be. We have some handicap accessible rooms that are going to be larger. And then we also have some single rooms that are going to be a bit smaller and those are actually usually on the corner. We don't have any rooms that are handicapped or single. Like no traditional double rooms that end up on the corner that are larger though if that makes sense. If the room is going to be bigger and there's going to be two people in it and it's not a designated single it's going to be like marked just as a traditional room and it's not going to be on the corner. It's not like a read where some rooms at the ends of the hallways are larger or in Gibson where there is a corner room offered as a traditional and it just happens to be larger. Any room that's going to be larger for two people in this space is going to be our handicap accessible rooms and they'll be labeled that way. Perfect. Someone asked if they can bring their own desk chair? They can bring their own desk chair. The only thing that we ask with housing is that if you're going to bring your own desk chair that you leave all furniture that you find in the room that it remains in the room if it leaves the room or it's not back whenever you check out in like either at the end of the year back in May no matter what whenever you check out of your space if it's not there you will be charged a lot of money. Please keep your furniture in your room just so that it doesn't go missing or damaged or get damaged but you can technically bring your own desk chair. Since there's a basement if your room number starts one is that the basement or the first floor? That it's going to be the first floor. The basement rooms they start with zero so it's going to be like room 002, 010, 011. Awesome. Any other questions you guys send them our way. About anything. Anything and everything. About anything. Let's step back in the room again why not. Something people often ask about is the big drawers here so we want to go ahead and do the length with depth of that for people. Feet two inches deep. One feet two inches. Ten inches high. Two feet two inches wide. Perfect. Can someone measure the space above the wardrobe to the ceiling. One foot five inches. One foot five inches. Abby says hi to you. Wait where's Josie? I think she's saying hi to Josie. My bad. Abby says hi. Hi Abby. There's also a drawer below their closets here. Yeah let's measure that one. You can lock it too in case for price. One foot eight inches. Two feet nine inches wide and eight inches high. Wonderful. Oh we got another question let's see. Should they bring blackout curtains? If you're sleeping during the day do it. Yeah do it. I sometimes put my curtains up so like all the light goes up but you can definitely do curtains. You just use hooks. There's not really like a rail to put a curtain. You have to use like this command hook that's left here. Yes. Kind of use something like that. This is like concrete so definitely something that you can. I don't see a problem with it. Just don't sleep during class. Yeah go to class but blackout curtains are great. Yeah very good. I never had curtains and I was fine but again that was different. And can we measure the window? That would be good. Measurement. So three feet eight inches wide. Three feet eight inches wide and the window itself perfect right there thinking about it. So someone else while we're measuring this asked if they can lock the bed on move in day. You should be able to. Yes you should be able to. Get everything situated how you want. Okay four feet. Little over four feet high. Awesome. Rotate back. Don't get dizzy you guys. So someone asked if there's laundry on each floor? No. Short answer? No. The laundry again is on the basement floor. Again with the ice machine everything like that with all the bedding machines. All that's going to be on the basement not the first floor. Basement floor. Yes everybody goes there. Zero. So someone's asking about the space between the desk and wardrobe. Well obviously that's going to depend on where you decide to situate your furniture and what you want to push up against where. If we want we can maybe push this up against one and then measure the extra space because obviously no matter what order you do that in there is going to be some leftover space there. Okay so this extra space along the wall you're going to have is eight inches. Keep the questions coming. Okay on the other side of the room. I see what you're saying. So can we push the desk up against the bed? We're moving things all over the place you guys. Yes this is 119 so if this is your room shout out let us know in the comments. Two feet 11. Two feet 11 inches. Beautiful. Two fridges right there. I think you can only have one fridge just so you guys know. You can only have one fridge in a room so you will have to share that with your roommate. Any other questions you guys? I think we recovered the laundry thing. Someone said they didn't hear that part. Awesome. Do you have anything else you want to say? Awesome. Someone asked how wide is the window ledge? How deep? How wide? Let's do both. Depth and so going all the way across from that wall to the edge right here. It's 8 feet 11 inches. It's 8 feet 11 inches and then this depth. One foot. Beautiful. Honestly this is really nice to maybe have your bed just a little bit higher and have this built in wall spot. I'm not seeing any other questions. Do you want to talk about lead hogs? Just a little bit? If you're wondering on how to get involved on campus we have a really great leadership development program called Lead Hogs. You can join at any time so if you're not sure about signing up now which the applications are open so if you're like yes I want to do it I'm going to give you some of your lead hogs and apply. If you want to join after you come to campus and you're not sure about where to get involved is definitely a great place to start. Lead Hogs is essentially you get to meet a bunch of really cool people who also want to do things like plan programs get to know other students across campus and in your whole community. You have some leadership development programs that will have that kind of train you on different stuff. It's really cool. It's a great way to get involved and prep you for getting involved in other leadership opportunities across campus that aren't necessarily even housing or lead hogs based. We do volunteer opportunities a bunch of different stuff. What about you McKenna? I had a great experience. It's also a cute little resume builder. It's always good. I haven't seen any other questions yet. Woo! Again, we are in Futral. Welcome to York Home Live. If you're just now joining, please ask us questions. We are in a room to measure just for you. Someone asked about the window edge. We did get that. Let's go back to trash, the trash shoe. Just real quick so people know that this is the other thing. Bag to trash only but this is nice. On your floor you have a trash shoe to send stuff down. Someone asked, for laundry, is any detergent okay? I would assume so. Personally, I use pods. That's very helpful. It's easy. Just build a pod or two in there. They don't really like you to overflow when it comes to detergent or anything like that. I think you can use any type of detergent. I know you can't use the fabric sheets. I thought you could use them. No, I think you're right. I forgot what they were called. Little sheets that go in the dryer. You're not supposed to use those, I'm pretty sure. You're also supposed to take out all your little gray stuff from the dryer. I don't know what these things are called. Make sure you take out the gray stuff in the dryer. Pods are highly recommended with laundry. I think it says that on the website. I think we're back. Right now we're just headed to the front of the building and we're going to walk back to that room we've been at on the first floor so you can see what that looks like. Yes, this is the front even though it faces. We are back at the front desk here. I think our connection is back. This is the front of the building. What is the road over there? Garland. The building does not face Garland. Faces backwards. We are going to walk straight back to the room we just had so you guys can see that. Hopefully we don't lose connection again. This would be stairwells on the end of the floor. The first floor. Is there ample resident reserve parking? That's okay. I'm pretty sure resident reserve would be the front lot here. You could do green as well if you don't do the resident reserve. It's very strict in this area. It's not many parking spots around here but it'd be where the courtyard was that little lot right there. Green lot is great too. I was a green lot girl and that was fun as well. This is a female only dorm. Just going to repeat that once again. That doesn't mean you can't have guests. Anyone can come but no boys allowed. You can live here. I think that's so far all the questions. Any parking questions you definitely contact parking. If you want to see more measurements or just around the building more housing.york.edu that's the place to go. You can walk through all the buildings on your own at any time. If you're just joining we're about to wrap it up but if you have any dimension questions while we're in the room let us know. Party party we are in future. Are there lights on the desk? So here is a desk. The only thing that has a desk is a little cord thing. There's a cord hole. Did you break something? But no there's not lights built in. You could though get some LED strips and put them under there. Is that a cork board on the back too? Yeah I think so. Nevermind. I think I see one in here though. So there's not lights on the desk. They don't come with lights but definitely bring your own. How many outlets are in the room? Do we know that off hand? There's definitely one there. One by each bed. There should be one around here because it's on the desk. There's one by the desk so there should be one by this desk. It looks like four locations but there might be multiple. Obviously this one's two. Definitely buy an extension cord. It's great especially if you have a TV. Extension cords. That is something people frequently forget at our extension cords. Bring those. I think we can wrap it up. I don't see any more questions coming in. Well thank you guys for joining us. This has been your home live 2023. Future. Say bye. Wait one more question. Can you use a wifi booster? Yes you can. Wait I'll let you answer that. I'm pretty sure I would go ahead and reach out to IT with the housing website but you shouldn't need a wifi booster individually for your room. You're already offered your wifi. Just by signing in with your email and password with the university but I would reach out to housing IT if you want to do anything like that. Someone asked can they mount a TV? I don't think so. Probably not. You can do command strips. You can do different kinds of hooks that are approved but you can't drill into these walls or put amounts where any kind of hardware would be inserted into it. It's also like brick so I'd be surprised if you get through. Don't attempt though. We don't want to damage our walls because we can only charge if anything is damaged on the walls but command strips are really great they hold a lot. You can get a lot of different kinds. The only thing equated to, I mean it's not mounting your TV but I suppose you could set it up here on top of your desk or your dresser. A lot of people do that. Okay I think we can go now. Bye guys. This has been great.
