 Hi, my name is Matae Jones. Welcome to the your home life tour of Walton Hall. So today we're going to tour all of Walton Hall. We're going to start outside today with all the things that are surrounding it. Again, I'm Matae Jones. I'm a senior here at the University of Arkansas. So I'm going to my last and final year. So excited to get this fall started and for you all to be here with me. So across the street from Walton Hall, we're going to have Barnes Hill Arena and then the also important Razorback Stadium. So you'll be super close when games start. Football season is right around the corner. You'll have a prime spot to get there early on Saturday morning. And then when volleyball starts up, you'll be right here. You can run on down and go join the fun. They have lots of gifts, like prizes there. So it's always really fun to go to volleyball, gymnastics, all the things that are held there. The stadium drive is really such a great street to be on your convenient, close to campus. You got the fraternity houses on the street too. So you can always pop over, stay high at the friends. It's a really great place to be. And also we have the hyper, which is our gymnasium performance center. So if you want to go work out, you're a two to five minutes away depending on where you live in Walton. Yeah. So this is Athletics Road. And now I'm going to introduce the person behind the camera. It's going to be Courtney. Yeah. Hello. Hey guys. My name is Courtney. I'm also a student here at the University of Arkansas. I'm about to begin my sophomore year as a nursing major. I'm sorry. So yeah, I'm from Fayetteville. If you guys have any questions, I'll be behind the camera today. I'll be reading your comments and we will be sure to answer all of those for you guys. She's from Fayetteville, and I'm from the great state of Texas. So first go to Texas. So if you guys will just know where you guys are from and if it's Texas, hey. So I guess we'll go inside now and we'll get started on my tour. We're going to start here in the great room. It's really a great space to hang out with friends, pop to the common spaces. You can, there's going to be a TV put up. They're in the process, but it's a great lounge space to hang out in. You can probably watch games in here, movie nights, game nights. I know lots of programming is going to happen in this room because it's a great space to accommodate large groups. So housing, Greek life, because this is a Greek oriented building. A lot of our Greek life fraternities and sororities who don't have houses are housed here in Walton Hall. So you'll be close to each other. You'll have a great space to meet and hang out together. Yeah, there you go. I can play ping pong table. My arch nemesis. I can not play ping pong table in my life. Pouches, tables, lots of plugs. So you can plug in your computers if you're working down here. I cannot figure out the name of this game to save my life. So if you're watching and you know what this game is, please let us know. Because we were trying to remember what it's called. We're really curious. I know it has the little pucks in the sand. I just don't know what it's called. But yeah. So if you have any questions again, let us know and we'll try to answer those for you. We're gonna be looking at what's called North Walton Hall and South Walden Hall today. So we're currently in the south side of the building. So these are gonna have a big, great room, different laundry rooms. We got it. And it's all connected so you can get to the other side. Though admittedly the layout of Walton takes a little bit of getting used to. Yes, it does. It's a common bathroom so if you're down here in the great hall, you don't have to run all the way back to your room. It's right here. Convenience. And you and Forty both did rush, is that right? We're doing Greek life. Yes, we're both trying to Greek life. I did a different process, but. So I hear the spaces used a lot for that kind of thing. Yes, if you're part of the panel of the council, they spend a lot of time here at the beginning when you guys first get here. And so you'll be familiar with this hall by the end. So this is an exit so if you're trying to get to class, you can pop right out, you have the stairs. It's a great trail to be like running. We're just like walking. It's a great place to go for a little walk by yourself or with your friends. And then Bear Ridesway, we do have the Fayetteville, or the Northwest Darken South Greenway. Here, if you're from another state, you may not know that we have a trail, a multi-use trail that goes about 50 plus miles from Fayetteville all the way up to Benton County, of Bentonville. So bring your bike, walk it, do whatever. Okay, so this is gonna be a laundry room that's here in Walton Hall. You're going to have four dryers and three washers. And then there's gonna be like a folding area, some tables if you're trying to sit down here and do homework, but that's not necessary because there's apps that you can download that's gonna let you know when your laundry's done, when the machine is free, so you don't have to set up shop down here. You can come down here, put your laundry in, and then go back up to your room. And so the app is called Laundry Alert. It's right around the wall. It'll tell you how to do it, how to download it, how to use it. You can also find more information at movein.urf.edu. Housing.urf.edu. Housing.urf.edu. Forward slash laundry. Yes, housing.urf.edu. Forward slash laundry. To find more information about it. Yeah, so you've already paid for these laundry machines and your student fees when you apply for housing. So you don't have to bring like quarters to use it, just bring your laundry detergent, put your laundry in, use it, go back up to your room, come back down. Tie, bounce, whatever you want. I think they recommend that you use the tied pods, those kind of things. So they're just easier to use and leaves less of a mess because this is a common space, so everyone has to use it. So you dirty it, you clean it. You were in R.A. weren't you? I was, I was in R.A. for the past two years. I was in Maple Hill South, which we'll get to later on for any of the U.R. home life tour. I think we'll actually tour east instead of south with those three buildings over there. And there are multiple laundry rooms throughout Walton. I think there should be at least a couple on each floor or throughout the building. So that you don't have to, if this one's full, there's another one that you can go to to find a space to use. So we're looking for rooms, we'll come down here. Does anyone have any questions? Yeah, feel free to ask anything and you can ask us to take measurements while we're in the room, so. And it's here on Walton South. The configuration is more of like a traditional where you have bathrooms that are community and then you have a room, but they're all singles in here. So they're all single rooms. So we'll take a look at the community bathroom over the side of the hall. So when you come in, there's going to be two sinks, two toilets, and then two shower areas. Now these are really nice shower areas because you have the door. You can walk in, you can put your stuff down, hang up your rack or your shower caddy. Highly recommend, give a shower caddy. Shower shoes are important if you're in a common bathroom. And then showers are really nice size. You can stretch out, I promise. But yeah, and so you have a whole area to get dressed, get everything figured out, and then hop right out into your room. Awesome, yeah. They're clean for you, so you don't have to clean these bathrooms, which for people like me, that's the best thing. So, yeah. Our bathrooms are cleaned twice a day by professional staff. So if you do have a community bathroom, it's gotta be clean. Yeah, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to write toilet paper unless you just like, stippering that yourself. But you don't have to. There's a lot of special toilet paper there when you get that. So we'll go into a south side room, right over here. So if you're in Walton Hill, south side 133, this is your room. This is a south side room. You're gonna get carpet, which is really nice because not all these buildings have carpet. So you don't have to have a cold feet when you step out your bed in the morning. So true, yeah. The bed, they'll have a little night table, the closet, and then a set of drawers, a desk, and then another set of drawers and a little whole thing area. But yeah, you can have a window, the air conditioning. Looks like there's a rack too here and all that. And then you have a rack to hang your towel on so that you can dry properly. So you don't have all the white towel mess. And all these rooms do have cable in them. They got a cable system a couple of years back. It's really nice to get HBO, all the HBOs, which is really nice if you're like me. I love Game of Thrones, so that was really nice to do the watch on. Yeah, so you'll have all the cords and connective cables for it. I think it's behind something in here. But it's here. Yeah. Yes, and I think you'll have the remote, the cables connect, and then you just plug in your TV, if you bring one in, it's the cable. And all the halls have Wi-Fi, so you'll have plenty of Wi-Fi on tap that's within your fees, so it's all. Wi-Fi, and I think there's ethernet cables if you need to connect. Some rooms have and some do not. Yeah. I think this one's better. This one's over there in the corner for your computer. Yeah. We could go ahead and measure the mattress. Yes, I will. I can hold this in. It's gonna be about 80 inches long, okay. And then, 36 inches wide. You can hold that 36 inches wide? Yes. Okay. And about six inches tall. Right, right. But yeah. There's also a firm and a soft side, since mattress, so if you like a firm or mattress, you can flip it over and you can get the mattress that you want. But yeah. That was a pro tip. I've never heard that before. Yes. It took me a long time to figure that out. I've been on campus for three years and it took me about a year and a half to figure that out. So, nice window. The higher if you go, of course, they'll have a better view, but so close to campus. This is actually the unit behind us and further up to campus, so you're right there. You can get up to class. It's a take two long. And then you're close to all activities, like you said, the stadium, the union, great theater, right there on campus. Great big wall right here that you can decorate however you like. Room for couches if you want. Microwaves and fridges, although you don't have to bring them. You can bring them if you want. We also have a kitchen in this building that we'll show later on, so you don't have to bring those with you. But if you do, there are guidelines on housing.york.edu or movein.york.edu. Now we'll tell you what to do with that, what you can and cannot bring. Yes, yeah. And then I think we'll go ahead and move on into the lobby area and let's see if anyone has any questions about this room. So far so good. The layout for this building, there are different buildings so they're connected kind of strangely, but it's possible to get through. It might take you a little bit, but don't figure out how the bed's smooth about the building. Now we're crossing the boundary from South Walton into to North Walton. This is where they both connect. You're gonna come up these stairs and then you'll have the front desk area. So this is where there will be a professional, a hall secretary that can help you with questions during the day. This is also where RAs will be at evenings to answer your questions. So bathroom area, water bottle filter station. We're really big about recycling and being green on this campus. So those are really big things. You don't have to have plastic water bottles you can just fill her up. And Walton actually has a special thing with recycling. We do a recycle media every year between the buildings to see who recycles the most. I think Walton has one for the past three years. So I think they're doing pretty good. This is actually their trophy. There's your recycling stations. And there's the recycle media trophy. I think they're missing just one more plaque for this year. It needs to be added on there. Yeah, they really unite around that principle. But yeah, so we do a big thing during the spring. All the buildings get together and try to recycle as much as possible. So all about being green now. And so also you'll have your mailboxes here. So your small like letters and stuff will come here. But if you're looking for packages, you're gonna get that at Buchanan Drug Hall. Which is real close by, it's not too far, not too hard to get to. But that's where you'll get your packages. And they will email you and let you know when they have a package for you to come pick up, so. But yeah. And then if we come further in, we're gonna get to the kitchen. So this is a really nice kitchen. I think it was updated a couple years ago. They have a full sink, oven, stove, top, microwave, and then a full fridge and freezer. So like you said, you don't have to bring a microwave or a mini fridge with you. Cause that's all here for you. A charging station, some places to hang up, some pots and pans, nice little eating area. So we get used to space. So if you're trying to study or having a taco night, like me and my friends want to do, you can come in here and cook and eat and be together and just have a great night. Cause sometimes dying off food can get a little tiring. So you can always, you know, pop a pizza in the oven, bake some cookies at night, or have a full-on feast with your friends. Yeah. Variety's the way to go. Yes, definitely. You gotta break out of that routine every once in a while. Can we look at this room in here? No, not yet. Okay, so let's. And so we'll go here. And we'll enter in like another common space to hang out at. So off of the little front lobby, you're gonna have another great room type situation. So you'll have your vending machines that use card, cash, Apple, Android Pay. And so it's really convenient. Late night snacks. You got a hangover and chips. You can come on down here and get some chips. Here's a piano. Do you like takis? I don't. I tried them. I know that's a bad thing and that everyone loves them. I just can't get into them. Takis are kind of hot right now. I was just wondering. No, all my friends love them. I just don't eat them. So we have a big bag at the house and I just found my thing. But yeah. So another TV lounge area, big dining table. We're trying to do a great project. This will be a great place to be. You can all spread out and work together. There's some individual classrooms over here. If you need a little space to get away, you can always come in here, close the door, and get the work done. There's even a whiteboard in here. You're having to write an equation or design something or figure out who's going to do what on your group project. Sit in here and get your work done. I like that front facing hog. Is there an artist's name on there? I don't think so. Probably a past student here. Welcome to improve to the hall. So if you have a great picture, maybe see if your artist will put it up for you. Don't put things up yourself, let your artist do it. But yeah. Anyone have any questions? Not yet. Okay. There's another laundry room on this floor. So if the one on the other side of the building is full, you can always like your laundry up here. Put it over here and get your laundry done while you watch the game or study with your friends. There's someone named Krista watching. So thanks for watching. Welcome to your home life tour of Watton Hall. Yeah, feel free to ask us anything. Yeah, I guess we'll go outside now and head over to the Northside building. This is a great little meeting spot. Maybe you'd like to have tea in the morning, come out here on the balcony, have some tea, do some yoga. If that's your thing, it's not my thing, but our roommate is really into that. She would love it. Sunrise, type yoga? Yes, she's a sunrise, have yoga and tea in the morning, meditate. Gotta get you straight for the day. Yeah, I guess it will. Eating spaces, part of your schoolwork. More cycling. Yes, recycling is big in this building. It's their thing. They're real proud of it. Yes, you can go outside. So on the Northside of the building, you have the outdoors entrances to the race. You can just go in this first room right here to show the Northside, if it's unlocked. Yeah. Let's go around to the other one, over on that side. Okay. Which is right back here. Oh. Because we're still doing some construction there. Yeah, we're doing some renovations for you guys. Which will all be done before you get here. Okay, thank you. So we're headed for the side of the building. So don't take the stairs, there's the elevator. Thank you. So to the right, you're gonna have the union part of the garage, and then behind it, the union and the heart of the campus. So it's real convenient and nice to be here. Coming here, this is a Northside room. So on the Northside, the bathrooms are connected Jack and Jill style to another room. So you'll share one bathroom with one of the persons, which is really nice if you didn't like the whole sharing with the whole floor, because now it's just one person you can talk, you can talk someone on one about how you want to share this bathroom. Right. But you'll have a desk area, and then it's a built-in shelving, great place to get some work done, hang things, stack things in books. It's a good storage place. It's a storage place. The beds are coming in here. What the recognition that was done here was the floors were redone, and then beds were taken out and new beds were coming in. So this is what the cable box looks like. Then we're gonna get to show you guys in the other room. It's really nice. Again, cables included. You're gonna move the furniture around, except for the desk, that's stuck there, but everything else can be moved around when it's brought in. So this is gonna be your bathroom area. Some nice drawers, space, cabinets, sink, a nice towel rack, great mirrors for someone like me. I like all the mirrors in my room, so this will give you space. Awesome. This closet. You're gonna have your closet here. It's a nice, nice closet. You got some shelving up top, some rack space, stuff on the bottom. We had a question, are Jack and Jill bathrooms cleaned the same as the south side? No, they're not. So these Jack and Jill bathrooms, because they're inside your rooms, you'll have to clean them yourself, but at least it's just you and one of the persons. Often there's a clean them over Christmas break. I can't remember if we're cleaning them here over Christmas break, but we do clean them during breaks and some of the holes. Yeah. And so there'll be the toilet here, and then behind the door there's some shelving space to put things, put your stuff down. The shower area. So again, a nice sized shower, all the space that you need, but yes, you will have to clean these bathrooms yourself and also provide the toilet paper and tissue situation. I've had my own bathroom for the past two years and I looked at Maple, and it really wasn't that bad because it's really limited to the amount of people that are using it, so as you can control how dirty it is. So this is the other side for the second roommate. Again, she's seen here is the same, the area over here in the floors, the paint job, and then they have the desk area, the door. So these walls are kind of a single block, so you'll have to use, if you want to hang things up, you'll have to use as well as they go more sturdy. I bet Command X will be good in here. You always have to be careful with the Command X that you use because if you chip paint, it's your fault. Right. We're not responsible for that. So always be careful and try to limit the number that you are using. This hall has to be changed. I'm not sure. I know this is an academic year hall, so this year is now academic year, so it doesn't close during break. So yeah, so we have a couple academic year halls, which means that they do not close during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring, all those kind of different breaks where the university usually shuts down from campus. This hall will stay open, so you don't have to leave. If you live far away or you just didn't want to go home or had things to do around your variable, you can stay here. You have your window, your door that leads to the side. So now is the perfect time to ask people like us to do any measurements at all. Yes. And we'll hang out for a minute to see if any of those requests come in. If not, then we'll probably have a discussion. Another cool thing about this building is that the full circle full by, no, the Jane B. Full Brights. Ooh, that name. It's the full circle full of pantry. And so if you have a university ID card, you can go there and get free food. It's open to everyone who lives in the university ID. It's a variety of next door to this building. It's actually connected. So all you have to do is go outside, go around, go in, give them your ID, and get some food. So because we're trying to really eliminate food and security on this campus, it's a great way to do it. So we had a question about whether or not there's a desk chair and there will be, like we said, they were just renovating in here. So the movable furniture just isn't in the room yet, but they will be putting a chair in, in a bed. So I'll be in a drawer here. Yeah, I'll share some drawers and some space to bring in any furniture you would like. Always try to limit that when you first get here to see how much space you really have with all this stuff in here. Pro tip, don't bring all your clothes at once. Try to space them out. So bring a season at a time. So it'll come in the fall. So bring your summer stuff, your hot weather stuff, and maybe a little bit of your fall winter clothing. And then when you go home for fall break or Thanksgiving, you can take the warm clothes home and bring back all the rest of your winter time clothes. That way you don't waste room. So I can hear the Ozarks probably looking at windbreaker weather until October, really. Yeah, towards fall break. Fall break is really when I switch over my clothing. Yeah. Because after that you have to wait a little bit of time before Thanksgiving rolls around. You can kind of get cold between fall break and Thanksgiving. So go home and get your stuff, bring it back, change out your flip flops for your tennis shoes, things like that. So we don't have any more questions right now, but remember that you guys can always comment after we post a video and we will still go back and answer those for you guys. I'm gonna say we. It's actually you. It's me. It's me. It's me. I will be going through answering those, so be back. Feel free. Hope you guys enjoyed this tour of Blanc Hall. Hope you guys have a great day. Can't wait to see you guys in the hall.
