 Good morning, and welcome to our Facebook Live event of Gregson Hall. It is an upperclassmen dorm that holds around 200 kids and students. It was opened back in 1948. It has been renovated since, so it's not that old. I actually thought it was one of the newer dorms on campus, but it's not like. Yeah, the inside has been renovated a lot. What's your name? My name is Molly Schuchlin. I am a student here at the University of Arkansas. I'm from Rogers, 30 minutes up the road for those of y'all who don't know Rogers. And I'm studying advertising and public relations here at the University. I'm about to start junior year and hopefully be done soon. Thank you. Thank you for giving us the tour. So let's see what we have here in the immediate neighborhood. Okay, so we are just right outside Gregson right now just kind of showing you what's out here and what's about. So if we go over here, we're going to see Humphreys Hall, which is the tall older dorm and it's a freshman, mainly dorm. And then we're going to have rough with quiz noses there. You're going to have Starbucks there. You're going to have a go-go, which you can go in between classes to just do a quick meal swipe and get that lunch that you need. Did you ever hit this club red? Yeah. So club red, fun fact about club red, have the best cinnamon rolls in your life. But you have to go early in the morning or else they won't be there because everyone loves them. Interesting. I did not know that. Super good. Best cinnamon rolls. I don't know where they come from, but they're really good. So you said rough and then founders and Kemple right there and then straight out. We're on Dixon Street right here. We're at the end of Dixon Street. We're at the top of Dixon. Top of Dixon. You guys are the point of Dixon. Yes. That's actually where Dixon ends, I guess. Exactly. Right here. Right here. Literally right there. Right here is going to be Gibson. It's another of our classmen dorm. And then we're going to have the music, buildings. I don't... Yes, yes. And then very through the trees, you can see the Argentine Union best place to go, especially fun fact. If you don't know this, they have breakfast meal trade at Au Bon Pan in the mornings from 7 to 8.30. Nice. So definitely check that out because you can get a strawberry lemonade, a cinnamon roll and a banana for meal trade. That's all you need. Very cool. Yeah. So we'll just go inside. We'll start our tour. Why don't we point out too where Class Plus is? Because I guess you have to access it from here. And kind of what is it? So Class Plus is a program on campus that... Ah, spider. Program on campus where you can go to get tutoring if you need it. So it's going to be, you're going to walk around to the end of Gregson and you're going to actually go down until like a basement. And you can go to class.ur.edu and it's going to... You can schedule tutoring appointments. I went to French lesson or French tutoring appointments. I've been to math tutoring appointments. They also have the SI. Some of your classes will be down there and SI is usually... It's kind of like a lab for business people. It just kind of depends on the class that you're in. And that will also be down the stairs. So it's a really good tool to use, especially since it's included in all of your fees that you pay for on campus. So you're paying for it. So you might as well just use it. Yeah, great. Okay, well thanks for pointing that out. Of course. We'll head inside. A regular bedroom and so be able to ask some questions in the comment box and then we'll show you a bathroom. And we're going to get to the basement right now. Okay. So we are at Gregson Lodge. Gregson Lodge, that was the original name of the building back in 1948. Interesting stair structure. So like the moment you walk in, you come to this sort of stair where you go up or go down. We're going to go down. And then we're going to go up. It's really pretty. Nice details in here. And you cannot access class plus from down here. You have to go on the side of the building. Completely separate but shares the building but not access. So you're down this way. And down this way, we're going to have like a common area where you can come hang out with friends if you need to do some homework. That's a good place to study. Super comfortable furniture. There's a TV, there's some games. Here in Gregson, this area is a very, very popular, this sort of den area. You kind of got a little library right here. You might catch that light over there. I mean it's a big space down here in the basement area. So when they say Gregson basement, what they mean is this, not like some sort of dingy basement. Not a dingy basement. Super nice basement. It has a little fireplace. Cool table. Coming here, you can turn on the TV if you need to. You can watch some movies. We have a pool table over there. There's vending machines. Vending machines, you can't use your card. You're a student ID. You can if you load money onto it. But it's pretty much not going to be included in any of your housing fees. So you'll have to pay for that with cash, card, or Apple Pay. So, we're going inside the kitchen. Okay, we're in the kitchen area. So we're going to have an ice machine in here. You're going to have a fridge right here. And then that's just your regular counters with a stove top. Just make sure to clean up after yourself. It is, you do share this building with 200 people. So definitely clean yourself afterwards. This is going to be a microwave right here. You don't need to bring your own. I would just suggest using this one next here because you pay for it. Molly, did you bring your own microwave for your first year? I did. Me and my roommate, we shared one. Okay, what are your thoughts? Did you use it? Yeah, kind of. But I didn't know about the kitchen until I lived in Yolkup. So I didn't know about the little kitchen until midway through the year. And I was like, why did I bring this? It's taking up so much space. So I don't think it's really, you don't really need it. And then there's just a sink where you can wash your dishes. And you don't have to bring any pots and pans. You can check that out from the lobby upstairs, which we'll show you after we finish the little basement part. Absolutely. Just remember to return them all clean. It's one of those things where like the kitchen is continually dirty, then everybody as a group gets penalized sometimes. So it's always good to keep it clean because it's a shared space. Okay. And the next fun part is the laundry. Okay. So this is the laundry room. You're going to have five washers, six dryers. You're going to have some racks over there where you can fold. Here's another folding table. So in case you all don't know, we do have a laundry alert system with all of the laundry no matter where you are. And so basically you can download the app on your phone or Android, or you can just scan the regular QR code that's going to be on the washers and the dryers as well. And you'll scan that and it'll actually tell you when your clothes are done being washed. And then if you were to be in the dryer, I'll tell you when your clothes are done drying. It's a good way to, if you're wanting to go back upstairs to study or you have somewhere to be, it's something good and useful to use. And you also do it on your computer. You can log into the website. And in case you completely forget about what I'm saying right now, it is right here on the wall. So you cannot miss it. It's a great way to get your questions on how to do it. It'll also tell you if there's one that's open. So if you don't want to come down here and you've come down here several times and they're always in use, download that and I'll tell you when one's open. And there is, it's a three-floor building and there is not an elevator. So you don't want to have to go back and forth too many times. So it's always nice to check it from the comfort of your phone. Exactly. To see if one is open before you come down. Great. So you don't want to miss anything that's included in your housing fees. So we have about seven or eight people watching. Feel free to chime in, say hello, tell us where you're coming from. Maybe you lived here in the past or maybe you're going to be living here this fall. We'd love to talk to you about Gregson. Yeah. Just ask any questions that you may have. We are happy to answer them. This is why we're here. Okay. So we'll tour. There's another kind of common areas. You can get water or you can get orange crush. And then this is a really nice vending machine right here. It's fancy. It's got a big display there. So you can get some misnots, you can get gum, you can get chips, anything like that. And then this is going to be your pool table. Like we said with the pool table, if you need any, you need to borrow the pool sticks, you're going to have to, the pool sticks are right there, but you're going to have to ask someone to borrow the stuff usually in the pool tables too. With the front desk area. There's a restroom right here, just basic restroom. You've seen one, you've seen them all, right? You've seen them all, you've seen them all. And then right here is going to be the ping-pong table. We're going to have to go and rent that equipment from, you can just come here and come play with your friends and stuff and just make sure that you do have to fall a bit into every single residence hall here on campus. So if your friend's coming and they don't live here and they can't just walk in. So make sure you don't do that whenever they're coming. That's a good point. And then here's going to be, it's not a classroom, it's just a nice little study area. So we know there's a lot of girl projects here on campus. We're all upperclassmen. We all know that. So always can come here. There's a whiteboard that you can use. Two whiteboards, yeah. Alternate board and a mini whiteboard. Great thoughts will be five. Really good picture. That's funny. Was that a face? It's kind of creepy. So the good thing about breakfast are so many study spaces. So you don't have an excuse not to do anything. And then just right here is our little recycling. Bottle's only right here. Plastic, aluminum cans and paper. Fantastic. And there's some yearbooks over there. There's some board games too I saw some puzzles. Do you ever do puzzles? I like to whenever I'm like it's a rainy day but not on a nice day. Okay, okay. Or if I'm bored, you know, I really just pin it because if you get past a 500 puzzle you will not catch me doing it. Too much. So we'll go back upstairs. This is the same way that we came down so you're not getting confused. This is a beautiful staircase. I think we have like T minus 30 days until we move in. Yeah, we're getting very close to move in time. A little bit more than a month. It starts as soon as August, I believe, 11th. Yeah, so about a month or so. So this is going to be your main lobby. You'll just walk up one flight of stairs. Not a breath. Walk up one flight of stairs. And this is going to be a little lobby area right here. We're going to point out the mailboxes right here. So get an email to here at our console account though you and your roommate will share a mailbox. And you'll have a code in there and that will be what you use to get your mail. So this is just going to be like regular letters and stuff like that. Packages you'll probably get from the front desk. Which we'll show you. Yeah, we'll show you the front desk. You're right. Climbing the stairs in the hot weather. Climbing the stairs. Speaking. It's going to be our front desk right here. The front desk. Hi, how are you? Welcome to Gregson. My name is Jerry Gale. And I'll be helping you with your packages or keys, any issues you have during the day. Just come see me and I'll be glad to help you. Thank you, Jerry. What are some things that people typically kind of check out from the different desks? We have irons. If you want to iron your clothes. We have pool sticks for the and the ping pong table downstairs. If you want to play games in your downtime. Cleaning supplies. I was just seeing those vacuum cleaners behind you. Is that something that If you're a neat freak, we have cleaning supplies to check out. And cooking utensils and pans. If you want anything like that, if you want to cook. We also have game boards, movies, and sometimes video games. If you're a gamer, there's maybe some of that here too. Fantastic. Well, thank you, Jerry. I'll ask and we'll see what we can help you with. All right. Well, thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. So we'll keep another and this is just going to be like a hallway where there's door or yeah, rooms on either side. We'll go check out a bathroom and then a room. Is that okay? Yes. Okay. I thought there was something about this just working outside. So this is empty right now, but a lot of times we have summer camps and things like that that come in. Let me see. Let's just make sure right now. Okay, okay. Let's go ahead and we'll just pop in real quick. This is just going to be like a typical bathroom. We're going to have vanities on this side some sinks over here. You got any pressure before? Are you here? And then there's going to be restaurants on this side. Sure. I think you had a fun fact about the urinals, actually. Yeah. They're in times where we've had women live on this floor. We have used flower pots in there to make sure there's a little decoration in the urinal area. The showers are back here. We'll take a look at a shower on another floor and show that to you. It just pretty much can be like a basic shower. You know, you're going to have a changing area and you have the actual shower. Yeah. They're pretty big. I guess maybe we won't go up to the second floor and look at it, but they're fairly big. They're doing cleaning right now. They're doing your cleaning everywhere. If your room is 105, congratulations. We are too young. We're 105. There we are. Right here on the door. This is going to be a typical room laying out for Gregson. All of the furniture is movable. So you can adjust to however you may want. You're going to have desk right here with overhead tops. You're going to have three drawers and you'll have the pull-up drawer right here. And then you'll have this chair and you'll have something really cool. Okay, so no one knows this. Oh, my God. All right. It's a rocking chair. Nice. So in case you need to you have a bunch of friends in here and you need a little bit more seats, you can definitely do that. And then your bed, you can loft it. You can always loft it yourself if you didn't want to do a maintenance request. However, maintenance requests are usually easier. You can do that before you get here. So when you arrive it's already lofted to a T. You can go to housing.uogh.com You can go to housing.uogh.edu forward slash fix it. And you can put another request to have them loft your bed. You can loft it all the way up to here. I mean, you can loft it even lower than the height that you want. And if you don't put in a maintenance request, we have rubber mallets that you can borrow to do or we suggest bringing our own just because there's so many people trying to do everything it might be easier to do that way. The question that comes up a lot during is should we bring a dolly? And I would say that very much like the rubber mallet we do recommend that you bring a dolly. I mean, you'll know how that works the best. We do have some limited dollies that you can borrow but there's a lot of people moving in pretty quickly so it's always best to bring your own. Yes, everyone's trying to move in. Three drawers right here that you can use for dressers right here. We'll show you this one. You can put your towel right here after you get done in the shower. You're going to have some closet space in here and I mean, you can hide me if you go in this corner. It goes pretty deep in here. Pretty good closet space in here. You're going to hang anything up. You can put shoes and stuff up here. It's a pretty good closet size. You know, you don't need a whole lot. There's also the up above. Yes. So there's an upper-head compartment up there. Short. I don't know if for you it is. You know what? There's an overhead thing though. Right. It's meant to be used by you. Yeah. Okay. Well, are there any questions about Gregson? I know a lot of people who are trending in have probably either lived in Gregson or, you know, you've been on campus already one year so you know a lot of what's going on. So I don't necessarily expect a lot of questions but if you have them now is a perfect time to ask them because we are happy to help. There is a really good view off these ones. The best thing about Gregson is there's so much natural lighting that's coming in so it really feels cozy and happy. It's a good place to be. It's really center of campus. You don't have to walk up many hills. Very few like baby hills maybe unless you walk up Dixon Street and bless your heart you're going to get a good like workout. But other than that it's perfect location. What's a good place to go? What's obvious my personal favorite is a Chinese Asian kind of food place. You can get sushi there. The Razorback Roll is really good. It has tempura shrimp tempura and it's called the Razorback Roll. Super good. They also have California Rolls for all you basic people. Chicken fried rice there's also a really good restaurant. And then of course you have a place called Chipotle which we all know up. Chipotle, Kadoa, Rady Costa Street nothing but some good business right there. There's also the campus bookstore we have one on Dixon Street. That's not actually affiliated with the university. There's a bookstore there. The university bookstore is at the corner I believe Douglas and there's some good shops over there there's Southern Trent there's Elyse which is my personal favorite and you're really not too far from downtown. You just go on center street once you get down Dixon kind of where our safe is where the Walton's Art Center is and you'll take a ride. Very nice thank you. Well if there's nothing else and no questions we'll just go ahead and sign up. We're also going to be doing tours later about how to move in how to prep for tech so make sure to tune into those as well. See ya.
