 okay we're live man all right well hello Periscope welcome to the Duncan tour so my name is Owens I'll be your guide today around us to see here we have the yes okay so this is the Duncan clubhouse this is kind of the community building for Duncan the office is right here and we'll go up just in a second this is definitely like the central building kind of building for Duncan one of the great things let me say something to our people who are following along yeah if you want to just ask a question and I'm gonna ask will what they I'm gonna ask your question to will and was gonna give me an answer hopefully yes yes so yeah feel free to ask questions I'll try to answer so yeah let's begin I think one of the the greatest things about Duncan is the contracting process so it's much like a contract would be for a dorm like if you were contracting through the university on the housing website it seems that same thing and so you can contract for Duncan for a whole so a whole you got a quick question for you okay can you live there in the summer will yes you can you can definitely live in the summer that's a little different contracting process but yes you can live here in the summer no problem it's a 10-month contract is that right yes two months would be the summer contract two months separate separate yes and so that 10 month contract can also be broken down into two semesters so for instance if you're a junior senior and you're gonna be graduating say in December and you're not gonna be in the spring you can contract for just the fall and not have to worry about the spring or if you're studying abroad also kind of saying you can contract for just one semester yeah come on in we got a we got a physical tour starting in a moment we're doing a digital one right now yes so yes that's the the contracting process and so the thing is we are University of departments obviously we are the only University of departments which makes us the closest apartments to campus because we're literally right on campus so right now we're gonna follow me we'll go to the fitness center let's go check out the fitness center take the elevator up there tell us a little bit about yourself well yes okay my name is will I see I am a national business student I'm a sophomore Walton Walton College yes Walton College so I'm a sophomore here I'm originally from Texas like half the school is actually I think that's true like I have the school yeah so just you know we're having like a little weird wireless issues because we're in the elevator okay but I think we're gonna recover okay okay cool yeah so maybe next time we do the stairs yeah okay okay okay so here we have the Duncan fitness center I'm gonna pan around get a look at it yeah go for it let's see back here we got a two running areas there and what are these called you know well okay nice nice I'm gonna give a little overview here of where our people are enjoying some Duncan live they're having a big time down there okay all right do we have any questions so far from our one person who's watching us right now here's the fitness center in this space we're looking at adding a bench press okay so I think this is a great space for a medium like workout especially if you just hop out of your apartment before class or at night before you go to bed it's very convenient but if you'd like to you want to go play some ball or you want to go get more of a heavier workout the hyper is only about seven so that's very convenient as well so that's what that's all I have for the fitness center so if you have any questions well sounds good no questions yet but they might come in so it was raining earlier will it was raining earlier now it is stopped which is great yes so now if we'll stop kind of pan around this way you'll see Harman parking garage Harman parking right there it is it's big it's tall very big so this is so this is so the Harman parking garage is probably where I would say most of the Duncan residents park now the pass is not included in the apartment fees but you can go up to the parking and transit office on the 6th floor apartment and they will give you all the information you need for a parking pass there for next year okay so keep going on this way going along is that a Christmas tree nice you know some things they stay up so long they're ready again that's right you just kind of keep it year-round another great thing about Duncan that I don't know if you will be able to see here but the trail kind of right there I don't know if you can see that very well but so that trail behind I can actually connect directly with the Rachel back Greenway trail that runs all throughout Fayetteville and so yeah and so if you live with Duncan you pretty much have immediate access to the Fayetteville trails and you can get downtown you get to Lake Fayetteville can I get to Dixon Street you can get to Dixon Street yes you can Dixon Street is right there that's another good thing about Duncan is our proximity to Dixon Street and the bar district so if you are over 21 I would say this is a great place to live as far as Dixon Street how close it is and so you can be able to walk down there safely and walk back and not have to worry about driving or parking which I know can be a big hazard no need for Uber no need for yes no need to Uber you can simply walk and probably be quicker than trying to find parking down there so we're walking down here oh that's where we're going to get our s'mores yeah okay yeah we're going to answer right now we're gonna kind of come down to the end of this walkway here so we have four people who are watching us right now does anybody have any questions that you want to ask any questions send them in okay we'll keep moving okay cool you're walking backwards force man just a moment a moment for Arkansas I mean it's kind of it's kind of rainy but it's still really nice looking like I like the the woodland feel of this feel is something I really like especially just kind of looking out from your balcony you can see a nice I'm nice we had a question come in okay you're ready for it how far is Duncan from the home economics building the home economics yeah which I'm thinking that is the building on near Maple okay so we are how would we explain where we are in relation to that so there's Dixon right and then we're kind of on the other end of campus from that yes yeah so it's pretty much I would say it's across campus right I would say it's across campus too yeah yeah which is what I mean that's like a 10 minute walk 10 15 yeah at the most yes okay so over here is where we're going okay coming down there huh yeah this is probably one of my favorite places at Duncan is this after a living space right here yeah we're kind of seeing we get up there there's a fire pit there's a grill I can smell it yes I can smell too it smells good there's a little covered patio area and so you know like during the year we'll have like small nights there like last semester we had a block party where we just grilled out and had music and residents could just come on by kind of casually nice yeah so those are some really fun events so was it more of a guitar or ukulele kind of party I you know I don't even know what the difference is but I would say it's more of a ukulele kind of party okay okay I don't know what that means but actually and we had we actually did have some some a guy playing ukulele on here nice so it's definitely ukulele you want to point out our babbling yes we have the babbling right here the Duncan babbling brook which I think is great we're on a bridge right now we are on a bridge right now very scenic bridge it is let's come on over crossing over so here is the outer space yeah that I talked about here kind of a covered gazebo area yeah yeah people hey let's go over and say hello yeah let's go talk to these guys I'm making some s'mores it's real it's cinema verte that's what we're doing here man yeah I'm nice looking for going on right there how are you able to keep this far going despite the rain that's the remedy that's been the recent remedy okay actually cooking pretty well on its own really well do we do we have a stunt s'more for will to eat we need a stunt s'more sorry you got smoke in your eyes that's no fun so so for those of us for our international audience perhaps tell us what a s'more is and how it's made well first off s'more 101 okay now if you don't mind take them out your RAs here so good just take them out to introduce yourself I'm Kate I'm the RAs of the big building right there I'm a junior mechanical engineering major I've been an RA for two years now yeah and I've actually been an RA for about two months and I'm a senior political science and Middle East major nice nice of course we we've met our tour guide will just told us about him business school yeah yes 101 you take half a gram cracker you put three sticks of Hershey's chocolate on it not to not for not to it's got to look like that okay then take the other one I'm coming in close yep come on in here get in on the action use the other one to squeeze your marshmallow right oh where's that technique there's that technique that is a s'more accent toasty you got melt the chocolate get all gooey all in the beard very good nice and I think it stands for I look at some more some more give me some more smore yeah we've been making some more all day long nice nice with the puns oh the puns all right all right let's keep going sweet thanks for the smoke you guys all right that's that door yeah do you want it you want to you're gonna eat your sweet eat your s'mores we go if you wish okay yeah it's gonna take but you can or you could drop it off whatever maybe I'll take it oh yeah now you got it okay I'm gonna get it we get in there all right okay okay leaving the after space brief second to kind of explain the building layout so you look down on the in here the very in building is what we call E building that's where I live the corner balcony right there this building in front of us is the building this is by far the biggest building we have at Duncan the great thing about this one it's right across the street from Harman parking garage I've got to mention but E building is right next to the trail it has the quickest access which I really enjoy look over here and I pan over we have another tour coming we do looks like that is C building right there that one's a little quieter it's a more tucked away in the back and then on the other side you can't see it but it's a building on the other side of the office but we started out so another thing quickly is safety emergency blue pole things that we have these are awesome very convenient you can see them over campus over campus they say you know Duncan is very safe and at living at Duncan you do get all the safety amenities you would get as if you were living on campus so that's a really break off me and just say hello yeah so thanks very safe but also so like as an RA here like me in the other areas you just met like well we walk around the buildings like twice a night like every night of the week just like for y'all safety if you left here so that's pretty comforting so okay that's that what's new back you know I've walked up this hill a couple times now and I just love this view so like kind of a creep up over the sort of trail here I like it somebody have any questions for us yeah so we're about to go into a room yes and look around this is C building I mentioned earlier we're gonna pop into one of two this is the room of one of our RAs is that right so quickly I'm gonna point out these what's behind there right here so this is this is a storage shed so this is pretty nice so if you if you live in one of two right here you have access to the storage shed most people just put bikes in there oh you know obviously store whatever you like in there but it's a nice place you don't have room in your in your apartment you can stick something out here and put a lot on it how big is it let me see if I can peek in there I mean I would say it's yeah some of that so that's pretty nice but now let's go into the actual all right let me give them a second to kind of look around yeah circular yep all right let's go around fully furnished right yes fully furnished all the furniture looking at right now comes with the apartment even all of the appliances over here you see now the counter you mean you got the the microwave refrigerator dishwasher all that comes with the apartment pretty nice full kitchen yes which if you're living I guess in a residence hall right now the idea of having your own full kitchen is not a bad idea right and you can have posters here I'm like a residence hall which I love because I like toast so toast come to Duncan yeah so now here's a bathroom okay let me quickly just kind of point out we've got a shower on this side the toilets in that side pretty basic bathroom yeah I'll point out quickly that so there's two basic styles of apartments there's first level apartments and second level apartments so right now in the first level apartment so that means we've got two bedrooms on the first floor which we're about to go in one and we have one right here and then one bathroom and then we have two bedrooms on the second floor and another bathroom so it's four bedrooms two bath now if we were go to go up to the second level apartment so if we just hopped on up to two or two we'd have four bedrooms on the second floor and one bathroom so it's four bedrooms one bath and then the first floor is simply the the dining and living area that we were just in so that's kind of difference there so if you're looking at contracting online definitely make sure you're picking options that you want with your roommates something to take heat of thanks for explaining this configuration yes yes so here's a bedroom for us is about the typical size of a bedroom if you can get a good each out of life there so to see better there yeah yeah your back let a little bit okay yeah so here's a typical bedroom let me give a pan here yeah and you see what's going on yeah and again all the furniture you see the desk the bed the armoire everything is included with the apartment so don't worry about buying any furniture so there's a desk and a bed and you said this on the wall yes and then the stressor the dresser and another desk and another room yes here's a little court space and you have access to from the bedroom mm-hmm so this is a little outdoor area a couple lawn chairs or a lot of residents actually there's one literally above you as you're speaking yeah today the weather is not terrible but not probably yeah I'll fresco yes the final the final leg of our journey right okay any questions about the apartments okay you can always follow up with us email that you can email us is a Duncan ab dot you are dot edu hey look we're time it's so well right all right we're moving on okay so we're almost done now here but before we in I'm gonna point out quickly right here if you pan over we got our mailboxes right here you say well what's so great about mailboxes well hey well what's so great about mailboxes yeah well I'm glad you asked so the great thing are these mailboxes is that they are on the regular mail circuit as opposed to like if you're in a dorm that's got to go through post office and then has to go to the house and all stuff and it takes a lot of your mail sometimes as I'm sure some of you know but if you're here we're on a regular mail circuit so you get your mail as soon as it's delivered which is great and as far as packages there's package parcel boxes there that the package is small enough they'll put it in there and you can just get out of there if it's too big then they'll take you to the office and you'll get an email much like you would at a dorm when you get a package that's the that's the skinny about the mail hey save a couple days to get your packages that's right right here we've got what's this right here this is kind of a cool device so if you're a big biker this is definitely a good thing it's like an air pump yeah and you can store like your it's all like like bike chains all the tools and all yeah so if you're a biker it's really sweet and obviously you can store your bikes right here mm-hmm which is great and then here we have scooter parking and that again you can park there with just your regular u of a scooter pass so we're pretty much at the end of our our journey journey here before we end though I think I'll just point out again the best part of Duncan is our closest to campus champions hall we're literally looking right at it right across the street we got bell engineering about a two-minute walk up the street there it is up hill but I don't know the grade isn't too bad the grades are too bad it's not like the Poffert Eliminator okay so it's definitely much easier than that I can get to the business building in about about five minutes from my apartment in the mornings when I class the union is probably about a ten minute walk libraries about the same so you can really get anywhere on campus I would say within ten minutes which is really good features yeah and if you jump on the bike right like yeah even less even less that's I think all I have for you guys well well thank you very much for showing us all of Duncan when there's our little signage that was put out yes which I personally think was really really well and I can say that because I had to I played no part in it whatsoever all I did was get like the raw materials for the creation the creation was done to here at Duncan that's right but you played a part you know if I can own just a little piece of the fame that is Duncan live yes well but thank you very much for your time and for telling them and if anybody has any questions and wants to follow up Duncan AVE Duncan has at uark.edu is a great email to follow up with us yes yes and the website for contracting is housing at uark.edu backslash Duncan forward slash there you go fantastic well signing off thank you very much okay bye
