 Good afternoon. Welcome to our York home live tour of Reed Hall. My name is Courtney. I'm a junior here at the University of Arkansas. I'm actually from Fayetteville and I lived in Reed when I was a freshman here, so this is by far my favorite tour to give. I'm super excited to show you guys around. Behind the camera is Channing. I'll let her introduce herself. Hey guys, my name is Channing. I'm from Springdale, Arkansas, and I'm a senior communication major here on campus. I'll be behind the camera today, so if you guys have any questions, please comment them throughout the video or even after the video, and you'll be sure to get those answers for you guys. So, before we go inside, I want to point out just some things that we're close to. So you've got the nursing building right here, and then the best part is the football stadium is literally right there. You have the best view of the football stadium from this building. I miss it so much. The maples are over here, and there's a restaurant just in the bottom corner of the maples that you can use your meal swipes for at night. And then there's also a little club right over there, which is just a nice little convenience store. And then right down this sidewalk is the school right dining hall, which is going to be your closest dining hall. I basically live there, so yeah, you have a really good view. This is actually the parking lot, where they'll be parking, where the move-in happens. Yeah, so that's where the move-in, you get a little pass, and you'll be right here. There's a parking lot on the other side. You can park there if you have residents there. Thank you. So for security, we use FOVs. Just super nice. Everybody that lives here will have their own FOV to get in the building. This is where you will look up your packages. They'll send you an email whenever you have a package, so you know when to come get it. And then right through your mailboxes, you'll get an email with a little code, so you can come here and get your mail. I think she got big machines with all the snacks over there. It's really great for whenever you're up late to study and you need an energy. We support wireless payments too, so you can use Apple Pay for example. Yeah, you can use Apple Pay on those machines. I'm going to go meet the CRE. Hello, if you want to introduce yourself. Hi. I'm a CRE, and what a CRE is, is we supervise the resident assistants that work in the hall. They put on programming. They help answer any questions your residents want. And then also, I'm just here to talk, and I also oversee the behavioral concerns in the hall of CRE. But also, CRE is a great community. It's a heavily involved student population. So whenever they're coming back, they're coming home to relax, study, and community build within the hall. So we do a lot of quick passive programming, a lot of come and go programs. A big one we do is Hell on the Hill. It's going to be a really huge event this year in October. It is a huge haunted house hosted in Reed Hall on our first floor, so come out and enjoy that. It's going to be awesome. That quote about your desk, did you put that up there? This actually was here before I decided to keep it because I think empowering everyone together and dealing with our imperfections is a big thing that we deal with in Reed Hall as women and we like to empower each other through that. Awesome. I like that. Will you join us on the tour? Yeah. Awesome. We're going to hide this way. So this is an all-female dorm and it holds 459 students, which is a lot. That's really awesome. Over here is a little mini kitchen area. I know a lot of people come in here and make cookies. My orators would always have taco nights or something fun that they'd offer for us. So this is always open to you and then you can actually use your student ID at the front desk and just rent out a little cookie sheet or anything that you would want to use in the kitchen. So this is the sun room. There's a TV out there. It's a good place for movie nights, watch parties. You could study in here if you wanted to and then you can put the blinds up. Looks like we have quite a few people tuning in. Where is everybody from? Yeah. Me and Channing are both from Northwest Arkansas. So if you have any questions about the area, feel free to ask us. Yeah, this is one of the cool spots in here that you can always use. And this is one of my favorite parts. We're going to have this own little workout space. So nice. Very nice to have. We did just get new medicine balls and fitness balls that were out of warranty last year. So brand new things. Nice. Yeah, this one is really nice to have. And then there's also actually a UAPD substation. Yeah, right there. Right through that door. And that was our alarm system. Security violation, please close the door. Yeah. You know, I just closed the door. But yeah, this is really nice to have. There's always people down here who make some friends. Courtney, would you say it's well used? Definitely well used. Is it? Yeah. Before classes or after classes or what's the time of day? A lot of people come in the mornings before classes. I always have like early classes and I am not a morning person. So I'm not going to get up super early before my classes. But I like to come at night usually, but definitely always people. I never really had to like, it was never full. Like there was always an opportunity for me to come in here and work out. But it's definitely used and really awesome. So you don't have to drive to the gym or go to the hyper. You can just. Super convenient. Yeah. We have Julie tuning in from St. Louis and Jennifer from Paragold. Hey. Awesome. Thanks for watching. So I think we're going to look at laundry. No, we're going to go to the blue room. It's called right? Yeah. Is that the right name? Yes. Oh, it's locked. So let me grab the key and put it up for you. Oh, over here is recycling. Every residence hall has something like this for recycling. So we're going to go to the blue room right now. Not all the furniture is in here, but it's just a big study room. I always love coming on and going to these because the little glass box is like soundproof. That's nice. They have whiteboards so you can always use those. I spent a lot of time here when I was here. This is open to you 24 hours. So you can always come down here and study. Instead of having to walk to the library or something like that. It's super bright. I love that about this room. Thank you for a lot of programming. And here is just more like where students just kind of hang. A lot of students hang here now and a lot of study groups form here, which we have materials checked out at the desk for dry erase markers and erasers. And almost every single event that we host and re-haul is going to be hosted here. So you can just kind of walk by, peek in and figure out what's going on. Cool. Very cool. I love this space. I like how bright it is. Okay, laundry down. I like they always have a cute light. Oh, yeah. That's super cute. Seasonal decoration there. And I love that about re- Love it. Who decorates these? The No Woman Left Behind interns actually have this over the year. So they'll have a lot of nice quick tips and tricks and programming events that they have. In the beginning of the year, you will see all of the staff have their pictures and some fun little facts that they will have. What is No Woman Left Behind? No Woman Left Behind is a program that is based on empowering women and educating everyone on campus about sexual assault on campus and how to stay safe. So prevention techniques as well as everything also kind of falls underneath that umbrella. Cool. Okay, we're going to head this way. To the laundry room. I miss this place. It's a refreshing year. It's definitely the best. Does it bring back a lot of memories? It does. It's a year. I thought that had been here in so long. There's like these codes and numbers on all these machines because we have an app called Laundry Alert. So you download the app and then you can check that for availability. So you don't have to come down here and check and see if there's one open. You can just check the app inside. And then you can also put in the number that you're using and it will send you a notification when you're so set. So that's what it's done. The website for that is housing.ur.edu forward slash laundry. Yes, and I would definitely say find a time where people are busy and you're not busy. And that's what you should do for your laundry. What's the secret time? I'm like a night person for sure. Not all people are, but I'm definitely a night person just in general. So I'd always come down here and people are sleeping. Or like if you're studying at night, come put in some laundry, study and then take a break and check on your stuff. That's smart. Do you use pods mostly? I always use pods. It's just super easy to do and just throw them in there. It's the easiest thing for me. Yeah, definitely pods. Judy wants to know if it's a coin laundry and you do not have to bring your own coins because it is included in your housing fees. Yes, so you don't? Yeah. It's all covered already in housing fees. Yeah, super smooth process. Yeah. It's been in a lot of time. And there's also some sinks over here too. Nice big sink. Is it television? Is it usually going at any time? Or is it kind of usually on? You can use it, but a lot of people, like I noticed when I was here, they really use their laptops, like watch it, like some laptops, but definitely watch TV in there if you want to say coin laundry. We want to mention about trash. Is that how it's done here? Yes. Do you have a sense of the process? Yes. So you bring out your trash down here because we do not have trash suits on the floors that are actively working with trash bins at the bottom. So you will just bob yourself with your key. What does it have? Walk outside, throw it away. And then it's also harmful recycling right there for you too. Please don't leave this in this room. So you can prevent any bugs from running in there. Absolutely. Yeah. Good advice. Okay, so we're about to go in my favorite room. Down there in the room. Oh, there's a colored bathroom. That's the one colored bathroom we were going. Just by the way. Oh, with the gentlemen, huh? Yeah. The gentlemen colors. So this is the living room. Yeah, here's your phone. Thank you. Very secure. Yeah. I love that. So cozy in here. Yes, very cozy. There's a lot of slots for watch parties. So this is also my lovely room. So cozy. What did you watch when you were here as a freshman? I remember sitting in here and watching Friends. I don't know why I have such a specific memory of that. But I do. From the 90s? Friends? I love friends. Everybody loves. Friends never die. Friends lives on, let me tell you. And then here's a bigger kitchen that you can come use whenever you just don't want to go to the dining hall or you want to cook for your friends. There's a big table that you could have dinner at if you want to. It's a really awesome app. And thank you. Check out cooking equipment from the front desk. Is that right? All cooking equipment can be checked out at the front desk. We just replenished and added some. So always ask. Awesome. Okay, and then we also have this patio. So whenever it's nice out, you can come study out here. This door will definitely start beeping at me again. It will. I love security systems though. I always felt super safe here. This is nice. Whenever it's not cold in Fayetteville, you can come have a little picnic out here. Yeah. Thank you. But yeah, I love this room. Okay. Just for ready to go look at. Go to the night floor, right? Yeah. We're going to go to the top because the view from there is so awesome. I'll take those keys if you have to hold on to it. Thank you. Yeah, you bet. We love getting those questions, so feel free to chime in if you have anything you want us to look at. Wow. So we're going to show you what all the rooms look like. I'm at the top of this building. It's my favorite. I took a lot of good subject pictures. Oh yeah. Instagram worthy. Yes. I miss the view definitely a lot. And it's awesome because I was on the stadium side so I could feel whenever we get attached out or something whenever I didn't go to football games. But definitely go to the football games. Definitely. Can you hit A? I saw requests to go to room A. That one was too late. Maybe we'll sign off and talk to them. Yeah. Okay. Thank you all. I come on every floor, so if yours is busy, you can always check the different floors in the room. But I definitely use this as much as I could because, like I said, I love studying at night and it's nice to just have this right by your room. You don't have to go to the library. There's so many because there's eight floors of rooms. But yeah, I was always in here whenever I could be. It's really nice to have. Yes. It's also about floor programming. That's a thing, right? Yeah. There's a lot of floor programming if there is anything really quick like watching Bachelorette or the Bachelor every week. I know that happens a lot here and we always try and encourage that. So always put it on how we raised it with you. We have a lot of active programming or events that we have that are in the lounges. But also we like to have them in the blue room just so it's central. Sometimes people don't necessarily want to go upstairs if they're already walking past it. But that's typically what we do and we have them at least every once a month. So there's something always going around. How exciting. It's a really good way to meet new people. Yeah. Some of my best friends now are people that I didn't know at all before college and I met really so awesome. There's always stuff going on, like opportunities to meet new people in here. That's one of my favorite things I'll read. This is a bathroom. There's going to be a bathroom on each wing. So one on the top and one on the other top. Here's big mirrors. Great place to get ready. A lot of people get ready here on game days and stuff. It's a good spot. Here's the showers. You can take a look at the showers. Yeah. I'm outside. Shower guide. Shower shoes. All that good stuff. You can go all day and get some cheap clothes. That's to go to. So we're going in room 918 right now. Which is going to be a pretty typical room, right? Yes. This is what most rooms are going to look like. All rooms but the end rooms will be set up just like this. So yeah, you have all movable furniture except for just half of the room, the closet and the mirror. You each get a set of drawers. And then the beds are loftable, of course. So you can raise these up and put storage under it or your mini fridge or you have chairs or whatever you want. That view though. That view though. So good. I don't want to raise the window. You can get a little better view of that. Old Main is going to be over there. So there's Old Main. Right there. Best view ever. Stadium is right there. Perfect. See the gentle? Whose arcs? Oh yeah. I can't imagine what this looks like in the fall. Like it has to be gorgeous. It's amazing. Like I actually might say. It's so fun. We have a couple measurement questions. So what is the measurement of the circumference of the foot board? Circumference of the foot board. So this is the foot board, right? I think so. We may have to ask for a little more clarification. Maybe the width? Try to think of what item we're talking about exactly. I'm sure this is what they mean. That's the head board foot board. So from here to the ground. Let's just go ahead and get that. There's a little hanging. It's by feet. From the top to the ground. And when they loft these, what they do is they take that and they flip them upside down. So you can either put it up like I had mine just on the top like this, which was perfect for like I brought my own little plastic doors from Walmart and put them in there. I had a bean bag under mine. It was great for storage. And that was like a perfect height for me. But if you want it even higher, they just flip this. And so it'd be up here. And we can loft them for you up until the end of the month at housing.ur.edu forward slash fix it. But also it looks like this is one of those that could potentially be lofted by a person I think you may have used an impromptu tool. Is that what I heard? What did you use? I used the rubber mallet. And did this myself one done. It actually wasn't that hard. So we accomplished it. We also have a question about the height from the top of the window sill to the ceiling. Oh, okay. We have this really cool measuring device. Yeah, it's fancy. It is the best thing ever. And that's five feet two inches from the window sill to the ceiling. Awesome. And this is also because a lot of people put plants and stuff here. It's just nice to have. I had a giant cactus in my library. It was right in here. Have you seen how some other residents have decorated? Yeah. We actually collected a bunch of pictures last year of everyone's rooms that wanted to submit them to our Instagram. And we have a highlight called room inspo. So if you want to see some of the pictures that we had last year, and if you want you can DM us and you can try and get a hold of that resident to see exactly how they accomplished out. I love that. You have a read hole. That's awesome. Scott wants to know when the bed is lofted between the bed and the floor. So it's going to depend on where you want to loft it. Right. So there's different notches for just choices. Your options as far as lofting. So depending on where you loft it that's going to be different. But if you left it like this and didn't flip to where it was at, like up even higher, it would be about here. About two feet. If you put it on the lowest rung which I don't even know if you can put it on the lowest rung because it would go down to the floor. So it would be next to last. Can you have a measurement from there? From there up? From there down. That's probably what? Like the lowest amount you can loft it. Yeah, the lowest amount you can loft it. I think it's one of the questions. Well if it was at the lowest one eight inches. Eight inches. Yeah, you may get as low as possible. Sydney wants to know what the depth of the window sill is. Two inches. 14 inches. Yeah. Jennifer wants to know if she rents the mini fridge through the university, will it fit under the bed when it is flipped? And it should definitely fit? Yes, it will definitely fit. Also there's an outlet in this little left. Really? Right there. Lauren wants to know if we can measure the height of the shelves on the closet. Shell? Yeah. So this one's nine inches. This one's one foot eight inches and then this is four feet eleven inches. The big cubby, yeah. And then actually I can give you a measurement. The whole closet is 96 inches tall from top to bottom. So if you want to bring a curtain just bring your little rod 96 inches. You recommend tension rods? Definitely tension rods. I went to Walmart and got one. That's what I used. Carrie wants to know if we can measure the size of the bed posts. Yeah. This is five feet from top to bottom and then maybe, yeah. Is that easier? Let's do this. It's about thirty seven and three fourths. Olivia wants to know how do most people attach their headboards? Oh, interesting question. I had a headboard when I lived here and I actually didn't attach it. I just kind of went there. There's just enough room to push the mattress up and sit it right there. And it never fell. It was perfect. It worked for me. You can always like on the back of your headboard put one of those little hooks so that you could like make sure it doesn't fall. I think my roommate did that but I didn't hook mine on and it was fine. A lot too is about that board in the back, the push pin board I guess. So you can't remove it but you can cover over it with decorative elements. So you can't take it out of the wall but my headboard completely covered it or you could decorate it and put on pictures there really just whatever you want to do but you just can't take it out on the wall. So everyone's got one of those These bookshelves are always fun to decorate and make your own. Everybody always has a cute space right here. Twinkle lights. Twinkle lights, yeah. Twinkle lights for sure. I had all the twinkle lights. Julie has a question. If the bed is lofted at the second to the highest notch, she's wondering I think she's asking about a bed skirt. Do you know what the measurement from the metal frame to the floor would be? The second highest would be this one because this is the highest and I'll give you a little it's going to be about 2 feet, 7 inches. I remember I know I had a bed skirt and I didn't know where I was going to loft my bed yet so I just kind of made it work. God, did you got to do? Yeah. You can decorate however you and choose to do so. Hannah wants to note she requested to have her bed lofted to the highest notch without being flipped. She was wondering how high that would be. Without flipping. Highest notch down 2 feet, 10 inches. 2 feet, 10 inches? I'm afraid of the line. Oh, Carrie was saying she wanted the actual post width when she was asking about the post so maybe you could use that. I'm so sure. 2 and a 4? That's going to be square so 2 and a 4 in this direction too. It's beveled slightly. So 2 and a 4. It was measuring so if you did flip over and see it's about 85 85 inches. And that's on the top one. Caroline wants to know if we can do the dimensions of the vanity space? Yes. The lighting here is amazing. It is absolutely amazing. I miss that as well. This is 5 feet, 3 inches across. 2 feet, 11 inches up and down. And then I'll do that. It's 1 foot, 11 inches deep. Perfect. Hannah wants to know if she can get the dimensions of the shelf above them here. Up here. It's going to be the same depth. So it's going to be 1 foot, 11 inches deep and then it's going to be just as long too which was 5 feet, 3 inches. 5 feet, 3 long. And then on here. It goes down just slightly about that far which is what? About half an inch, 3 quarters of an inch. But then from there to there let me go inside here. So about 17 inches. 17? If we're looking at the lip then it's about 15 and 3 quarters. I know people will bring their own little storage boxes for up there or you can get your TV there because you do get a cable box and a mouse. An HBO. We had a little mini to be up there and storage behind it. That's always a good space for just extra stuff. Hannah wants to know the length and width inside the drawers. Each one? Yeah, I'm assuming. They're 1 foot, 5 inches. 1 foot, 7 inches wide. So 1.5 feet, 1.7 wide. I'm using my hand, I hope this works. And then 8 inches tall. 8 inches tall? And then the 2. We have 2 left. I think that one is, is that a little bit wider, that first one than the second one? I'm sorry, not wider. Taller. Is it a slight bit taller? I don't know. Let's give it a go. 7 inches tall. Okay, thank you for that. It's better than using my hand. Yes. Carrie wants to know how thick the mattresses are. Is you with that one? Yeah. 6 inches. 6 inches? I'll go through you. Let's see. Loving all these questions. Caroline asked how tall would a medium lofted bed be? Do you know what's considered medium? I guess she's saying the middle. Here without looking at anything. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe. There's a lot of questions about lofting specifically. So maybe we follow up in the comments with the different measurements for each individual room that you can hang it on. It sounds like that would be the best way to get those numbers. It's a little bit hard to get that measurement on the fly like that, so let's just do that. I actually think there was an example of a lofted bed on the way down the hall so we could show that. Caroline wants to know, do most people use shower curtains or regular curtains to cover the closets? I use regular curtains. Sydney wants to know if we could get the dimensions from the top of the desk to the bottom of the shelf that sits on top of it. Like the three book shelf. Yeah. One foot six inches. Awesome. Julie wants to know if the extra long mattress is 80 inches, how long is the regular mattress? 75. 75 inches. And Olivia wants to know where the outlets are in the room. So there's an outlet by each desk or computer found in such while you're studying and then like I pointed out earlier there's one kind of in the corner over there on the ledge by the window which people will bring like microwaves and like them in right there. Yeah. And then there's one right here for what you're doing. Your makeup there. I think that's all. Yeah. And then there's a bunch of the bathrooms too that you can always go in there. And it looked like there was a question about the refrigerator and fitting it underneath the bed. We'll confirm that when we start going through and answering all these questions. I feel like there's room but there may not be so we'll go back and we'll make sure we get the correct answer to that. I did not flip mine and there wasn't any fridge under there but we did bring it so I'm not 100% on the measurements. I'm not sure the written ones for example. Yeah. Megan wants to know if we can show an in-droom. Yeah. Yeah. Because I do look a little different. Are there any more questions? Not in here. I just want to make sure. Yeah. I'll cut up. Okay we'll go to an in-droom so all of these rooms are going to be exactly the same and then the only one we can show is bed. Here's a lofted bed. This is a lofted bed and this is an example of it flipped so we flipped it so that they had higher options. And that is at which room? It's not all the way up so it's four down from the top. Four down from the top. Considerable height. I just wanted to show you guys that so you know what your options are. Now we will go to an in-droom. This is room 923. So if you're living in here let me know. But yeah so in the in-rooms region have your own little mini vanity. Yeah. It just laid out a little bit differently but any questions while we're in here? I believe the thermostat is right by the door so each room is going to have its own thermostat but the building will either be set on heat or air. Is that the case in these buildings? It's like they're hard cold. Yeah. So that means be aware on a seasonable day that it might be a little uncomfortable but nothing intolerable. I can tell whether it's just my case. Lauren wants to know if they can remove the bulletin boards as long as they stay in the room. The lenses are drilled into the wall that's why we don't want anyone to take them out because they make it easy to damage while putting back in and then you get fine so it's better to just cover it up. Yeah. I don't think we can work it out so just cover it or decorate it. Everybody has one. And as far as hanging things up on the wall blue tape, did you use a lot of painter's tape? What did you use nicely? Command strips. Yeah. That was my best friend. For my flights that I'm definitely I'm worried that anything that's gonna cause damages. Yeah. We have another measurement question about the end of the window bed to the edge of the closet area and I don't know if she's talking about the other room. Yeah. A more standard room. We'll go back and measure that. Go green. So the end of the window bed to the edge of the closet. Yeah. Actually I want you to be more precise. Sure. Yeah. It's two feet, six inches. Awesome. Also she wants to know how deep that little cubby is back there. So from the edge where it starts to where the outlet is on the wall is exactly two feet. Okay. Two feet. Caroline wants to know do most people leave the desks between the beds? Most people do but you don't have to because my roommate actually it wasn't like this on her. I can't remember. I think she like made an L kind of and had her desk by the door. You can whatever fit but this was super common. So just you can play with it a little bit and see whatever you prefer. Yeah. And the shelves move off to the desk too so like you can probably neatly lock the desk underneath or the shelf somewhere else however you like it. Yeah. You have a lot of options. That's all a lot of different things. People are creative. People leave their doors open a lot in this hall? I really don't think I ever locked my door which is awesome because I've just met so many people all doors are always open it's like a giant sleepover all the time. It was so fun. I miss it so much. It goes by super fast so soak it in and leave your door open and make friends while you're here. It's so fun. Caroline wants to know if the windows already have windows. They do not. They do not. Come with the blinds but if you want to bring attention on for curtains you want to do that. That's a giant tension rod. Giant tension rod. It says like the length of that is nine foot six inches away. Awesome. I'd be a long tension rod but you can probably find one. I've never had curtains though. Blinds were good. When you're trying to sleep during the day are they dark enough? My bed was actually on the window side and I definitely took a lot of maps during the day. So I was fine. The blinds were good. We had a question to measure the bulletin board dimensions. Can we pull that out for you a little bit? Get in there. Let's see. Oh no, I don't think you can get in there. That's a tight screw. That's a tight screw. I can do this. No, you got it. Okay. Let me set 36 inches long. 24 up and down. 36. 24. Julie wants to know if all the rooms have new blinds. I don't have a hand. And that was a couple years ago. Awesome. I mean, they're on the newer side. Yeah. They're not necessarily new this year. And if there's ever an issue with blinds we have fix it. You want to talk about fix it? Yes, so you can always go online it's housing.york.edu board slash fix it. That's it. You got it. I'll always fix it. If you ever have a light that goes out or something's wrong with your blinds or really just anything, go on there submit it and it'll come fix it for you. Mm-hmm. You might mention Resnet too because we're talking about our services there. Yeah, there's just a lot. Really if you need anything go online. Also measurements are online too and then I don't know you want to talk about Resnet? Yeah, Resnet is helping you with your Wi-Fi connectivity or if you are bringing in a Bluetooth speaker or something that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi they can help manage your devices under your account so they can help you find the MAC code or whatever that is and register that to your account so it can work on Wi-Fi. A lot of things like this could be like your Xbox if you were bringing one, a PlayStation a Bluetooth, Blu-ray player a Fire TV stick. So they do a lot of that as well as if you're ever having problems with your cable or if you need help connecting to the cable with Cox Cable you can also submit a request with them in there and I believe we also have a table at Moven for Resnet here in Reed for that we usually have one over here.
