This definitely the room what I like so much about it It's not only the bright yellow wall makes makes it all happy, but it's also just feels like home You know, it doesn't feel like a traditional hall or you know What you imagine what college would be like it just like it's like your regular old living room Yeah, as a matter of fact that we What if I say hello to you Eric? Hey, hey, tell us what you tell us about yourself. I'm Eric Peltier I'm the CRE for here in Holcomb Hall. I help oversee this I help over work with the RA's and stuff like that So I actually live here in this building And what is an RA not everyone? The RA's are our student staff members. They live we have two on each floor here in Holcomb They help out with anything that you need They're they're a really great resource if you're need help with trying to get connected on campus If you have need help with study tips or any really anything you need to get adjusted to or if you just need help This room I hear would you use this room for programming or is it yeah, so this room this is We call it the living room. It's definitely a much more formal space but we have our Holcomb geography series programs are in here or our global series programs will happen in here We'll work with the international students in scholars office. They'll have different programs in here The furniture moves around and stuff like that actually we have our so's to register student organization Typically based around a culture or a nation They'll sign them out to do different programs like we'll have a Kickoff event for the Japanese Student Association or the Korean Student Association here on campus So a lot of programming happens in this particular room and it seems like a lot of it's yet internationally based Yeah, yeah, Holcomb Hall is about 40% to 50% on the depends on the year depends on sort of Incoming international students, but about 40 to 50% of the students who live in Holcomb are from overseas Very nice very good. No, I guess we can take a look at the front desk. Yeah, let's head on over to the front desk Okay, now this is a Kelly building which holds about 105 students It's super cool on something about the front desk You'll see you downstairs when we go into inside the basement. There's like ping-pong tables and there's a big kitchen area So typically someone's gonna be working here and what you can do is you can come in you can run out stuff like kitchen supplies or Ping-pong paddles if you want to go and have a battle you'll rent them out here You'll leave your student ID and then whenever you're done and you return the items you can have your student ID back So you don't need to bring anything the biggest thing parents and students to know before moving in is you're gonna want to have You're not gonna want to over count yourself. You know, you want your space to be open. You can always buy stuff when you get here This is Walmart USA. So just keep that in mind when moving in many opportunities to buy once you're here in Fayetteville Exactly. We have Walmart. We have Target. We have TJ Maxx We have literally anything you could think of. We have some recycling space right there. Some recycling. We also have the Office of International Students and Scholars back over here. Real quick, mail. Does someone pick up mail here or do they pick up your mail at Quad? It does look really pretty though. Yeah, it's a nice little detail that's still in there. It tells you how old this building back in 1949 was built. So yeah, let's go ahead and explore the International Students and Scholars Office. It's located right here on the first floor of Holcomb. Hey, how are you doing? Great, how are you guys? Just fine. What's your name? I'm Kayla. I'm at the front desk here at the International Students and Scholars Office. We contribute to the students that are visiting from other countries. So yeah, what are some of the functions that the International Students and Scholars Office performs for students? Whether they're international or domestic? We perform just taking care of people that want to travel and just directing people where to go if they're wanting to travel, any exchange programs, and visas that students need to obtain to go anywhere. Very cool. So a good place to check in if you're going to be sending abroad for the first time, but also if you're an international student may be coming, you need to know this address. Right. We can point you in the right direction for any assistance you need. Well, fantastic. Well, thank you very much for telling us a little about the International Students and Scholars Office. Great. So shall we head down to the first floor? All right. Oh, it's right there. The elevator. So you do have to follow because this first floor, it is just for... Can I go down in a second? Because since the office is here, anyone can come in because international students may be living in a different dorm or a different hall. So that's why that lobby area is always open, but it's only open until 5. So after 5 p.m., you're going to have to fob it. Just keep that in mind whenever you're coming in. You know, your fob is connected to your keys. Do not lose that. It does cost money if you need to replace it. And this is an exception. Usually our halls are all fob locked in. So the elevator, you do have to have a fob for it, and there are stairs as well. Okay. Just going to take you all to the laundry room right here. Okay. So this is your laundry room for dryers, for washers. You can come down here and sit and do your laundry and do some homework while you wait. We have some cleaning machines that you ever get from Greer Thursday help. Ever. You have to pay for that out-of-pocket, which means friend cash, bring a card, or you can use Apple Pay, which you can actually do on your watch, which is a tool. Oh, crazy. The future is now. The future is now. There is an ice vending machine, so if you ever need to come get ice, and we do have recycling, however, if you don't want to stay down here and wait for your laundry, we have this really cool laundry alert system. So what this is, is you can download the app on your phone, or you can just scan this QR code right here. It's going to tell you whenever your clothes are done washing, and you can switch them to the dryer, and then you can scan again on the dryer, and it'll tell you when they're done. So you don't have to wait down here for your clothes to get done. You can also do it on your computer. It'll send you notifications on your phone, on your computer, and then it can also just send it, if you get the app, it'll just pop up. Okay. So if you have no idea what I'm talking about, we will go right here where there's a sign, and the sign will tell you everything you need to know. Nice. Good to know that. So something to know. That lives there. It was right here. It just tells you how to do it online if you don't want to do it on your phone. I would suggest using your phone though, because we always have our phones. This will save you a trip, like if you're up on the top floor and you know you want to go wash your clothes, you can just check online and see if one's open. You don't have to schlep everything down here and find out that it is not open. I'm going to go back down this way. Should I not get confused when you're moving in? I know it's different. It's not a scenery that you're used to, but it won't take that much time. Sure. Yeah, which hall did you live in? I lived in Yogan Hall. Okay. That's more towards a business college, and that's actually why I chose that hall is because that's where all I knew all of my classes were going to be. Gotcha. Yeah. We've got a few people tuned in. Hey, nice to have you tune in. Yeah. Do you have any questions or tell us where you're from? Yeah, where are you from? I'm from Rogers, 30 minutes up the road, if y'all. Everyone to go and just get away from Fayetteville a little bit. We have really good shopping up there and some food. It's really growing. Down here is just a really cool lounge area where you can sit down, watch some movies. We have pool right here. We do have, I'm mind-blowing. That is foosball. Thank you. Foosball. Come on now. Which one's your favorite? You like ping-pong? You like pool? Ping-pong. Your ping-pong. That's your game. I don't actually know how to play pool. I pretend like I do, but I really don't. Ping-pong's definitely my favorite. There's going to be two ping-pong tables. And like we said earlier, you can always go upstairs and where that front desk is, you can rent out the ping-pong towels. You don't have to pay for it or anything. You just leave your student ID to make sure that you're returning it. You'll have to pay if you do keep them. Eric, would you say this is more of a hang space than the other places? Which places are most people just kind of hanging out? I would say this space because it's actually the only place where we have a community TV. Okay. Yeah, I would say probably this space because it's definitely with the living room, with the program that happens up in the living room, people will hang out there and stuff like that from time to time. But this is probably more, I won't say private, but like more set away from the hustle and bustle of the upstairs living room. Would you do me a favor? Eric, would you say hello to Vicky from San Antonio? Hello, Vicky. From San Antonio. Thank you. All right. So what else do we want to see on this floor? Hi, Vicky from San Antonio. Right here. I didn't know if we saw this earlier. Oh, yeah. That's a nice table. But we're going to have a nice table where again you can come, play some cards, you know? Yeah. That's always fun. Play some Slapjack. Slapjack. BS. That's always a good one. That's a good card game. Golf is my favorite. Golf? Golf. It's a weird card game. So right here, if we enter in, it's going to be our kitchenette. Okay. So we're going to have our fridge right here with a freezer. So basically this area is nice. So if you ever get kind of sick of the dining call food, which you can sometimes come here, you can actually cook yourself something, or you can just put in a frozen pizza, of course, too. So we have our stove right here in Humber, microwave. So you do have two microwaves. We showed one earlier at the beginning of this video. So if you don't want to bring one, that's okay, because there's two here. It's always nice something to know, because you want to have as much space in your room as you possibly can. Sure, absolutely. I cooked frozen pizza here. I cooked sugar cookies. It's actually really fun. Any ramen? Did you get ramen? I hate ramen. Okay, well that's good to know. I'm the world's pickiest eater. I wish I liked lettuce, but I just don't. I'm the lead. I think we're headed back upstairs now, yeah. We'll get back to the elevator, where you have to bob in again, like I said, because security is number one here on campus. We'll head up to the second floor and look at the restroom there. Yeah, and you know, right now we're about to go to the restroom and we're about to tour our room, so parents, students, whoever's tuning in, and if y'all have any questions, please feel free to write that in the comment box and we'll answer them to the best of our ability. If you're to answer. So, here we go. So what's been your favorite class so far? My favorite class has been my media and society class. Advertising and public relations is journalism here. So, I had my teacher Miss Cara Gold. She was so fun. Shout out to Miss Cara Gold. Shout out to Dr. Cara Gold. It was a two bunch of person class. It was really big, but I learned so much in it and it made me realize this is the degree for me. You know, I loved it so much. It was fantastic. Which way is the restroom? There's actually one on each hand. There's a restroom on each hand? Totally our choice. Totally our choice. Okay. Looks empty, which is good. That's what we want. We don't want to walk in on anybody. When we first walk in, you're going to see five showers. My bad. Five showers. So, when you step into a shower, you're going to have a little bit of changing space right here. Something really useful is have a shower caddy, you know. You want something, you don't want to carry all of your shampoo by yourself. So, have a shower caddy that you can put everything in. Also, shower shoes. The bathrooms get cleaned daily, but sometimes it can get disgusting. Like girls are hair sheds, you know. That's just something to really keep in mind in a towel wrap. It's always nice. And of course, just a regular towel. So, you're on team shower shoes? Team shower shoes. Okay. Literally, if you want to get the $3 ones at Old Navy, that's good. I had some, they call them Jesus sandals. I got those. They were six bucks. So, this is going to be your shower. It's a little bit, a little small, but that's all you need. You don't need a giant shower. The water is always hot. That is a false tale of people telling you that it's cold. It's always hot. And you do have shells right here where you can put any of your shampoo or conditioner. Absolutely. So, shower caddy shower shoes, you're good to go. Definitely. If you... What shower cap? I made a shower cap, but I didn't use one. So, these are going to be just some regular old bathrooms right here. There's going to be five toilets. And we've got one, two, three, four, five sinks. Four or five toilets. And Eric was telling us that there's one of these on each side. Yeah. So, which is nice. You can enter in from two doors right here. So, you can enter in. I mean, this says it's for men only. I'm sorry. I'm in here. You will go to our room now. Go up to there. I'll use an elevator. All right. Because leg day was yesterday. I don't think I can walk a flight of stairs. I'm glad this whole has an elevator because I don't know. We're going to go up to three. Yeah. We're excited that y'all are going to be here in the fall. It's a great place to be. One of the famous things is Dixon Street. Dixon Street kind of leads up towards the university. Really good food down there. We have the Walton's Art Center. You can go see some plays. If you had to recommend one place for them to eat, off campus, what would it be? It's a tie between Arcegas and Wasabi. It depends on if you want traditional American food and really good crepes with cinnamon. We are drinks. I don't know what it is. If you want sushi. Raise your back roll is a good one. Those are the choices. 318. 318. One down here. It should be on our right. Here's a little study room. You can see this. Maybe an over room flow. Over room. Yes. Go ahead and open the door if you can. Just a nice little study area, which is super nice for you parents. If your kids ever wanted to get out of their room because the roommate is being too loud or they just can't study in their room. It's a really good place to go and just kind of hang out. This maybe, like I said, an overflow room, a tongue twister. We'll just wait on that one. 318. If you're a room 318. This is your room. Let's see it. The nice thing about this room is everything is going to be movable furniture. You completely can adjust this room however you want our suggestion just from doing this experience. I would just leave it how it is. You don't really want to adjust everything because they already adjust it to give you the most amount of space that you can. So we have two beds right here. One nice little pan here. A really cool desk drawer right here where you can open it up. If you want to put any valuables in there, all you have to do is close it, turn that, and put a lock right there. So then it's locked. And then you're going to have a desk right here, the chair. Something really cool about this chair though. If you have a lot of friends coming into your room because it's college and we're meeting a lot of friends, you can remove this chair and you got yourself a rocker chair. Nice. You also just have a really kind of stool looking chair that someone can sit down in. So a lot of space for people to come and hang out in your room. We also have three drawers right here. You can put your t-shirts, shorts, whatever you want in, and then we also have a closet. So inside of our closet, which might want to pretty good bit of space in there, it looks like. Got a little bit of space and you do have some shelves on this side. So that's something super nice about it. You can always put your shoes over here. That would be my suggestion. You have a little hook right here. So if you ever wanted to put your, what would I put here? Like my jacket or like my shower robe, I would put that there. And something that's really nice, you can put it over here. So girls, you don't have to worry about your outfit not matching because you can see it. You have a mirror on the back of the door. You have a mirror right there. There's space up above as well, it looks like. Yes, there's space up above. Ooh. Got a short. So there's some space up above where you can put things. I always put, I had food and I put it in the basket. Don't unwrap anything until you go to class and know that you actually need your textbook. Lessons learned. Lessons learned. Sometimes I only use one book out of the five classes. It looks like we have some control over Eric. Is that right Eric? Eric? The thermostat here. Does it give you control over the? For the most part, yeah. If you go up and down, there's a range. Gotcha. That's all set into it but there's a range. But you've got some adjustability there when it comes to temperature. Okay, fantastic. Eric was talking earlier about RA's here so you'll have an RA on every floor. My suggestion is really get to know them. You know, I loved my RA. We were complete opposites but she was so nice. Rachel, love you Rachel. She's so cool. We ended up being in a class together so it was super nice that we already had a connection and we were nice and we were friends and when we had class together we were able to help each other and share each other's memories because it was an upperclassman class and it can get really hard sometimes. Super cool. Are there any questions for us as long as we're in the room right here any measurements we can take for you? Why don't we go ahead and measure the beds? Yeah, of course. The bed. We'll go to this one. We'll use that table measure. We'll be at 36 across and I'm just... It's a one-man show right here so bear with me and maybe a little more or a little bit less but it's going to be about 76. Okay, about 76 is that right? 76, 77. Perfect, perfect. Well, if there's nothing else and no other questions then we'll go ahead and sign off. Yeah, so just to let you all know we do have even more your Home Live Tours. We have one about Moving 2017 how to prep for all of that and we do have one about the campus dining here there's three dining calls on campus there's some meal traits that you can do and then there's one about prepping your tech so in every room you can plug in a TV and connect to it if you want you can get unlimited cable you got the HBO which is the big holy grail so you can watch it I mean Game of Thrones right? Game of Thrones, Winter is back I don't watch that show I just saw everyone tweeting about it so it's something really cool and we hope this is a really easy transition for y'all feel free to ask any questions if you're watching this after fact we can sure help you in any way that we can for even more measurements you can also go to housing.urc.edu and they have a complete listing of all the measurements so yeah. What are the campus communities? Welcome home. Thank you.
