 Good morning. Welcome to our 2018 U.R. Facebook live tour of Buchanan Drogh Hall. My name is Josiah Parrock. I am a junior here at the University of Arkansas. I'm from Russellville and I'm studying communication. I want to go to law school. I'm filming today as Courtney. Courtney, would you like to introduce yourself? Yes. Good morning. My name is Courtney. I'm also a student here at the U of A. I will be a sophomore this year, a nursing major. And I'm going to be behind the camera today, so if y'all have any questions, just let us know. We'll be happy to answer them. Thank you, Courtney. So Buchanan Drogh is a conveniently located hall. It's located in the center of campus. We've got Stadium Drive right over here where you can find the football stadium, as well as the hyper, which is basically the athletic activities location. There's a fitness center and a pool, things like that. And then the sister hall of Buchanan Drogh is actually Gladstone Ripley right behind us. Together, students and staff kind of like to refer to them as Badger, BD and GR. One fun fact about Buchanan Drogh is that it actually used to be two halls, Buchanan Hall and then Drogh Hall. Buchanan was the first president of the university and then Drogh was a former dean of Fulbright College and then they combined to become Buchanan Drogh. We've also got Humphries and Yolkham right up here, two popular residence halls as well. And we're just a short walk away from the Bruff Dining Hall, as well as Starbucks and Slim Chickens, Rocket Taco, where the Walgreens are. All of the founders' dining options are close as well. So we can go ahead and go inside and take a look at the front desk. Kind of on a hill here. We're a little bit in the middle of the hill here at the university, which is kind of nice because you're not too far away from basically anything you would need. We're going to go ahead and take a look at the front desk. Here's the front desk of Buchanan Drogh. Here's Adam. He's our whole admin. This is where all your mail will come and things like that. You'll actually receive an email if you receive a package and you're also assigned a mailbox here. And we can look at that in a little bit. One thing for security here at Buchanan Drogh is you always use your fog to unlock these doors to get inside. These couches are just for students to hang out. It's a good study space or just to meet up with your friends and things like that. So we can go ahead and take a look in the actual hall. If you're tuning in too, feel free to ask us any questions. We're happy to answer them. So here's some mailboxes. This is where letters and things will be put in. You'll just be assigned a mailbox with instructions on how to open it here in the wall. And they'll send you an email with your mailbox and your code and super simple. We're going to head downstairs to look at the basement. This is my personal favorite part of the hall. This is where a lot of fun activities happen. We have furniture, and TUDs and things like that just to hang out. This is also where the laundry room is located, which is good to know as an incoming freshman. We'll spend a lot of time there. Also there is a trash chute on each floor of this building. And there's just a door. It's right here next to the bathroom. You'll just open it up and there's a dumpster in there. You can pick your trash in. Trash chute. Please use bags. We did have a question about measuring once we get in the rooms. And we will measure whatever you guys would like once we get there. Yes. Do we tell them how many people live here? No. 100 female students live here. It's an all-female dorm. And there are 100 students that live here. Here's the kitchen, a beacan and a brook. You're welcome to use it whenever you would like. There's a refrigerator. There's some cooking supplies that you can check out. Stove, oven, ice machine. At a little table, if you'd like to share your food with someone, that's nice. This is a good place to hang out. And as you said, you can get kitchen material and cook whenever you like. Did you live here right now? I do. I live here right now. Actually, my room is just right here. So this is kind of my space. I know it pretty well. This is where we house our summer staff over the summer. So I have good experience of learning how great the community is here. We have a lot of fun. We actually request to live here every summer because we love it so much. Here's the recycling. Anything you can imagine that you need to recycle beacan and brook has the option. That's one really cool thing about our residence halls. And then here's the laundry room. So here at the university, you don't have to pay to use laundry machines. You do need to bring your own detergent, but the machines themselves are included in student fees. So you're free to come down here whenever you would like, as long as there's an open machine to do your laundry. And one cool service the university has is called Laundry Alert. You can download and you can check the status of your load of laundry whenever you would like. It'll also notify you whenever it's finished. So that's nice. So you don't have to stay down here and watch your laundry. You're a Tide Pod guy? I'm a Tide Pod guy. I don't get the the jogging detergent. I don't trust myself to put the right amount in. So the pods are super convenient. Here's the basement. Like I said, this is where we love to hang out. There's furniture. There's vending machines. We use that table over there to play cards, play board games, things like that. And you'll always find someone watching a movie down here. Yes, we watch movies down here basically every night. And it's a great way to meet people. This is really where we bond. Anytime someone's in this hall, you'll find them down here just hanging out. Do you have any movie recs? Yes. So the other night we watched Coco, the Disney movie, and I cried like a baby. It was awesome. It made me feel things. It was wonderful. I love that movie. I'm here. Here's where we play Uno and poker and things like that. We spend a lot of time. Like I said, this is where you'll find us whenever we're here, not working. You mentioned a werewolf game. Yes. So we also found this game called Werewolf where you're assigned different jobs. So basically the goal of the werewolf is to evade suspicion. Because at the end of a round, everyone will vote on who they think the werewolf is and choose to eliminate them. And so your goal is to survive. So basically there's a werewolf. Your job is to avoid suspicion. Like I said, there's a minion. His job is to make everyone think that he's the werewolf so that his werewolf partner can be saved. There's villagers who are just trying to find the werewolf. Things like different jobs like that. It's really fun because you don't know what anyone else is. You just have to rely on what they say. So as you can imagine, that can get pretty crazy. We have a good time. Lots of screaming involved in that game. A good game to learn and play. Also, here's an air hockey table. This is super fun. The first night actually I lived here. We had a short little tournament and I got super lucky and won my first game. But then got demolished to the next game. But I've been practicing. So I'm sure I'll be better. So this is where we spend a lot of time. We enjoy ourselves down here. That's beautiful. Yeah, where are you guys from? We have Amelia right now. Some other viewers who just let us know. Anything else to show? I don't think there's anything else down here to show. We're going to walk down here and take a look at bathrooms and the bedrooms. Let us know if you have any questions. There's also a DVD player. I forgot about that. And a smart TV. This TV is smarter than I am. So you can watch Netflix and Hulu and things like that. That's super nice. So we're just going to walk down here. We're going to take a look at the bathrooms first. I'm going to go ahead and knock before we go in there just to make sure. Some Arkansas locals. I like how you put the tape on the door. Yes. So like I said, this isn't all female residence hall. But right now some of my staff and I live on the basement and we're all males. So we just made our own edit of the sign. What the restroom will look like. You have your showers right here. I would recommend bringing a shower paddy just to keep all of your soaps and things together. I'm a shower shoes guy just for sanitary reasons. I want to be safe. There's stalls. And these are smaller in the basement than they are in the other floors? How much is the difference? So the basement restrooms are a little bit smaller than the other floors. Upstairs there's actually floor showers and floor stalls. So it's about double in size. But since there's less people living in the basement, there's less room down here. Now we're going to take a look at a room. So next we're going to take a look at a room. This is what your standard room lab will be. Behind the door there's a wardrobe. There's another wardrobe here. Some drawers as well as the desks and chairs. You are welcome to loft the beds if you would like. You can put in a maintenance request at housing.urf.edu slash visit before July 31st and on a first come first serve basis they'll actually loft your bed for you. So that's kind of nice if you would like that. We have one person wanting to know the measurement in between the beds for a carpet or a rug. Okay yeah sure. So you are free to move around furniture however you would like. You just cannot take any furniture out. But we'll go ahead and measure in between the beds. Do you want to decide? Yeah a little bit. It's about 89 inches from into the bed to into the bed. Should we go this way a little bit just in case? Yeah sure we'll go ahead and measure. We'll go from like the drawer set. The drawer set to the desk. That's about 105 inches. Okay okay great. I'm going to also ask what room we're in right now. I think we're in check. It is 54054. 054. Yes. Passes back to you. Thank you. Let's be sure that we get a mattress measurement for them. Yeah sure. Very commonly requested one. But now is a great moment to chime in with any questions you have about the measurements in the room. So the mattress is 36 inches wide which is about three feet. And then it's about 80 inches long. And you can find those measurements on movein.ur.edu. So the air conditioning system? Yes. So it's a little bit different. In Buchanan Drogh we have window air conditioning units for every room. We also have ceiling fans just to add a little extra cooling. The ceiling fan is actually really nice. Yeah I wish I had one. I would take it in my house. So in these chairs come with every room as well as the desks. Which they do a cool little thing where you can just connect it and make it two chairs. Yes. Last time I tried that I couldn't get it back together. I'll try it. I'll try it. I had some people who texted me and I was like yeah I watched your tour but it was at a part where you're trying to put a chair back together. I can't remember how did we pull up one of the right here. There should be maybe underneath a little bit. There's a little handle. There we go. See you're getting better every time. Figure it out. So yeah you can take these chairs apart. And one of them will sit on the floor and rock back and forth. You can also have a little stool right here if you like. It's pretty easy. Unlike I make it look to take it apart and put it back together. Where did you live? I lived at Hots. Okay Paul, which is on the other side of campus. I also live here two summers in a row. So I obviously like it if I keep coming back. But the good thing about the community here is you will always get to meet new people, tell stories, have fun, play games. We had a question about a window measurement if we could get that. Sure. I guess all this in the top side. Do you want the blinds? I'm sure they want from side to side for curtain purposes. Let me grab the camera. And Ryan I got your question. We'll definitely answer your question about lofting the beds here just a second. It's about 101 inches. If you wanted to put a curtain right up for example because that's usually what people are curious about. They need to use a tension rod up there in that little corner right there. So that's the measurement we have? Yes. Is that corner to? To that corner. To that corner. And it will have to go all the way across because there's no breaks in between. Should we do up and down so that I know a lot of people get their curtains? Sure. It is 52 inches from top to bottom. 52 inches from top to bottom. Okay. Very good. Let's see. So I want to go back to Ryan asked about lofting and basically we spoke a little bit about lofting. Right. Yes. And the configurations, they can go up. We have, I'm going to pull it out maybe one of those. If we were to put that on top we can see how high you can go with it. This is what your lofting set will look like if you would like it to raise up like a bunk bed. And you can basically with these little notches just move it out of power by you would like. I'll go ahead and measure it from top to bottom. It might need help. I'll hold that there. Sorry, I think you did. Okay, we're taking this. 72 inches. That is about... We also had someone wondering if the mattresses are the same size because of like things on the website. And I believe that in this room they are. Yes. But can you request longer ones in... So 80 is the longest they can. Okay. A lot of these are 80. I have to refer to movein.york.edu. We definitely have the accurate measurements. This may have been one of the halls where... Can you measure this one? This should be one where there's a 75 and an 80 because of constraints with the door. That's the difference is that it would be 75 versus 80. This one looks like it's a little bit shorter. So that might be the 75. Yes. So door size is going to be smaller than window size. I believe that's the case. Check movein.york.edu. It has that information. That's just so this door can shut. That's so the door can shut. Yeah. And as far as who gets what bed, we let roommates make that determination amongst themselves. I hope that answers your question. If not, follow up and we'll answer questions afterward. Well, that looks like all the questions we have for now. Well, thank you for joining us today for our 2018 York Home Facebook Live tour. If you can't enjoy a call, please let us know if you have any questions. Once again, my name is Josiah and Courtney.
