 Good morning. My name is Molly Strickland. I'm a student here at the University of Arkansas And we're gonna be taking our tour of Buchanan Drogh call right now So we're just directly outside. You're just gonna show you what the area was like at first. There's the sign right there Lovely sign. There's gonna be a sign on every single building. So if you ever get lost it'll tell you We're in central campus kind of you know kind of on the slot. Yes slope of the hill more on the central side So Buchanan Drogh is a three-story building. We're on the back side of it And in front of Buchanan Drogh it's gonna be the rec center. That's gonna be all your exercise. So through those trees right there Through the trees There's also the volleyball and gymnastics Stadium I guess you would call it. I don't know what to call those gymnasiums. Down did you go to the rec center? I did. I went to the rec center a lot. There's this main one There's one inside the union which was my favorite one to go to because it's smaller But it's really nice They have a bunch of group fitness classes that you can go to online you rec. You are edu And I did a 6 30 a.m. Cycling class before Wow way to go Get out there. Okay in the stadium. You can kind of peeking through right there Yeah, you can see at least the Donald. Yes, W. Reynolds right there And then right next is gonna be Gladstone Ripley, which is the sister building or To Buchanan Drogh known collectively as Badger Badger. Yes, the GDR and then up above we're gonna have Yokoman hot freeze are gonna be right above and then Founders right there. I believe we were just at Founders yesterday That's Gregson. Oh, it's Gregson. Sorry. Thank you Founders you can't see just like you can't see the dining call, which is rough Which is gonna be your nearest dining call And there's also a Starbucks there There's a broth a go-go, which is a place to go to do a quick Meal swipe between lunch when you have classes to go get something quick to go And there's gonna be some meal trade options over there and founders. So and then we have what? Right, right You'd asked about parking Yes, so when you park When you arrive in August here, you'll probably park along this ridge Yeah, and we have a pace so that you won't come in two people at once So you'll have time to kind of come down and load things in. Yeah. Yeah. Well, are you ready to head into? Yes, we can go on the side This building was built in 1955 and it was originally named Buchanan Hall and Drogh Hall Buchanan came from the first president at the University of Arkansas and Drogh came from the Dean of the Fulbright College of Arts and Science. Well, you're just dropping crazy history on it Just crazy history, they're like having a number at it. Nice. Okay. So this is going to be the main lobby in here Air-finishing is strong in here too. Yes, it's very cold in here. It was just nice. So let me come around and show you the area where you get your mail. Welcome to BDGR right there So your mail will come here, even if you live in Gladstone Ripley. You'll come here and pick up your packages in your mail. Yeah And then this is going to be just like a front desk. If you ever have questions, go to the person who's sitting at the front desk Instead of saying if you have big packages, then that's where they're going to be. And you just got fobbed in. Yes, because that's a big security feature that we have. Everyone has to fob into every single dorm. Right. So your friends just can't walk and you have to come down and then pick them up. So we're going to go check out the mail. Yes. So right here, we're going to have all of the mailboxes. You'll get assigned this whenever you move in. You and your roommate will share a mailbox and they'll give you the code on an email. So make sure that you're logging into your Arkansas email because it's about to become your life. Mm-hmm. Yes. All right. Well, so these floors are just kind of like long rectangles and with a corridor down the middle. And we're about to go check out the first floor. Yes, we'll go this way. And we're on technically the first. It's what the sign says, so I guess you can go on this for a while. And anyone who's watching, feel free to ask this question. We welcome that. We look forward to answering anything we can for you. It's also a bit about you. What are you studying here at the University of Arkansas? I am an Advertising and Public Relations major and I'm going to have a marketing minor. I will be a junior in the fall because I've taken so many classes to get me a year ahead. Oh, well. So I'm just trying to start in the real world. Sure. We've got water fountain right there. Let's see, you know, laundry is... Just wanted to point this out. Trash shoot right here. Bring all your trash to this right here. Just, you can't just expose it anywhere. Gotcha. It's all labeled. Bring your trash to the trash shoot. Bring your trash to the trash shoot. Keeps it all clean. Don't just leave it in the hallway. All right, so we're just going to change the kitchen real quick. Inside of here it's going to have a fridge, ice machine, and a stove. You can come here and cook if you are not willing to go to the dining hall and cook something out of there. Yeah, it makes quick pizza. Or even you can check out pots and pans and cook a full meal if you want to. Do not have to hurry to eat anything. There isn't microwave in here so you technically do not need a microwave. It can save some space. So that's something you might want to consider moving in. I think one of the interesting things that stands out to me about this hall is, you know, there's only a hundred people who live here. So everybody gets to know each other really well. And it is an optimal hall. Right. Okay. So we're kind of in the center of the building now. Yeah, so there's going to be some recycling right here. And then two, when we enter inside this door, it's going to be our laundry room. So it's going to have four dryers, three washers. You don't have to bring your own pointings or anything. It's all included in your fees. But there is some really cool service that they have where it's up here on the walls in case you forget what I say. Here in a few seconds. It's the laundry alert system. So whenever you have your clothes inside the washer or the dryer, it will alert you whenever it's done. You can kind of pick it up. It will also tell you if there's any free ones. So you're not wasting time coming all the way down here just for them to all be taken. Something good to utilize. And when you say notification, what do you mean it will come to your phone? It will come to your phone or if you do it on your computer. It will come to your computer. You just have the option and it tells you where to do it. Like I said, these are the directions up here. So if you have no idea what I'm talking about today but remember some of what I'm talking about is right here on the wall. You cannot forget it. Excellent, excellent. So all of this? Well, yeah. It's a vegan and rope that we're touring right now. Now if this isn't your haul, you can always check movein.ur.edu and find out when we're doing your tour. These will all be archived on University Housing's YouTube channel as well. So in here it's just going to be just a common area space where you can come and just relax with some friends. There is a DVD player. There's a flat screen. And then there's also some vending machines in here. There are some beds that you're about to see. Yeah, this is just putting them up for here for now. And then there are some tables for group study. Group study is going to be something that you're going to be doing a lot. It's not just independent work. And there is an air hockey table. Air hockey? What's your air hockey game like? Pretty good. No? I remember playing at Showbiz Pizza Place. I always played it at Cheshire Cheese. That's what Showbiz became at some point. I would do my fingers like this. Instead the puck would always hit my fingers. Ever since then I just hate it. I played it at the beach this summer though. They had a four person table. Two on each side. The rain of pucks would just drop down. It was the worst thing ever. Oh gosh, gosh. Not a good idea, but the girls did win. Random pucks. So we're heading down to the, I guess this is the south end of the building. Yes, we're just showing you all of what it looks like and there's just rooms over here. Some of these rooms are occupied at the moment because we have conference assistants who are students that we employ in housing and they help us with all of our camps that we run. So you might see a random person. There's always construction going on at the university. Yes, during the summer. It's not just our university, it's every university. Here's just another kind of space right here. If you're parking or in resident reserve, you'll know when that's coming out. Another entrance as well. Another entrance right here. And then this is just... There's kind of a seating area where someone can meet you. Yeah, and then we'll go back down the hallway and we'll get to the bathroom and the bedroom. So make sure that you're sending in questions that we can answer. I think, of course this is normally a women's residence hall but during the summer we have some gentlemen who are helping us, who are living here, students, male students. You can hear some of the music going. Yeah, they're jamming in there. I don't even know what song that is. Alright. So let's try to look at the restroom if we can. Yes, let's try it up here. Long hallway. It's a long hallway. Something I really like about this hall though is a lot of people keep their doors open. Nice dorm decks. So it's nice to make friends and you have that open style. Someone's in that bathroom. Someone's in that bathroom right now. Okay, why don't we hop down to the first floor again where the women's bathroom is? And we'll just, yeah, someone's in there we don't want. Someone was in the bathroom. I was like, I will just show that one. Last time someone was in the one downstairs. So. Hey, live TV has some rhythm to it. Do you have something to say about exercising today? So now where are you from Molly? I'm from Rogers, Arkansas. I can say Fayetteville for all the people who don't know what Rogers is. But it's a considered a big town here. It's 20 minutes north of here. I think that's kind of the equivalent of what people say. I'm from Dallas and they're from Texas, but they're not from here. And they're actually from Frisk Dallas. And that one's in here, but this is just going to be female's bathroom, which we're all female. So we have some sinks right here and we have a mirror right here. Two bathrooms. We'll show the shower. Let's see what's going on in there. See how big the shower is. So it's not a square. It's enough space. That's all you need. You don't need any more space. And it does have some racks. You can put your stuff up here, what stuff you want to be doing. Yeah, just get an idea of what the showers kind of look like. And there are command shirts in here. My big suggestion, girls, guys, you can get a shower caddy. Don't get the plastic kind. And you can hang it up on there so while you're taking shower, you can just grab your shampoo and let it work. Yeah. Very nice, very nice. Yeah. So we have what? Two toilets. Two toilets and two showers. Two showers. Yeah. And there's also hooks on this outside. Okay. And then three sinks. Three sinks. I don't know why there's three sinks. All right. So let's head back up to the room. Yes, we're going to put up a three word. The room that we show you will be typical of all the rooms here. Carpet. There will all be movable furniture so you can adjust it however you want. Mm-hmm. It's probably just easier if you leave it though. Hey, if you're room 153, this is your room. Welcome to your home. Yes. So as we walk inside, you're going to have two beds. You can send in a maintenance request if you want to get them lofted. All right. I forgot the website for that. Oh, just that you can either turn on a maintenance request and get it lofted by us, or you can check out a rubber mallet at the front desk. And just do it yourself. Yeah. Or even better, bring your own rubber mallet than you'll have to worry. Yeah. Always bring your own stuff. It's easier. There's also two desks right here. They have drawers on each side covering them. Mm-hmm. You can have two chairs. Two chairs, you can take off. Yeah. I want to show them how that action works. Yeah. If you don't mind. I think I remember. Bam. They become rockers. Nice. Yeah. Or you can use this as a chair too. Depending on how party you're in your room is. Right. I always have people in my room. You can put that together later. It's all right. Yeah. Here is the window unit too. Let's be sure we point out there's a window unit. Yes. You're going to have an in-air air conditioning. It's not bad at all. You can just adjust it if your heart desires. And then we're going to have two wardrobes. I want you to open up this closet for it. Wardrobe for it. Two wardrobes right here where you can hang your stuff. You can put shoes up here. Put whatever up here. And then you have a little space down below. Mm-hmm. And then we're going to have drawers also right next to it. Sure. And this hall was renovated in 2010. So it's been a lot of good things to happen at it since then. Yeah. Alona asks, what are the window dimensions? Yeah. Or if we can measure that for her. Amazing. I think you could. 100. So 100 inches would be the width and then the height. 53 because we're 52 from the window top. And the wall is about 52 and a half inches. So 100 by 52? 52, yeah. Okay. If you're wanting boots. If you're wanting curtains. Yeah. 52. Yeah, I would say as far as curtains go you want to be aware of this. I think it comes out a little bit right there. Yes. It's the only thing. I mean. It does have blinders. Yeah. You really don't need curtains unless you really want them. Something you might just want to take as less stuff the better. Because you can always buy stuff when you get here. Our pleasure. Thank you for the question. I appreciate it. Yeah. We'll point out there's a fan here as well which you may or may not use. It's there for your usage if you wish. Turn on the light and there's a fan. Yeah. So it's working now. If any of y'all have questions, please comment them in the question box. Are there any tips you might give them as they're moving in? Anything you learned when you moved in what? Two years ago? No, it's last year. One year ago. Yes. Always be prepared. Make sure that you have everything that you need. And if you don't, that's okay. We have wall marks. We have targets. We have TD Max. We have everything. The less stuff, the better. Because I remember I would bring all my stuff in and I just felt crowded. You know, because you're already in a small space. You can try to mineralize your stuff. Girls. I'm guys too. You just, I don't know if you have as much clothes as I do. Usually it's our girls. I've lofted my bed so that way I could put another little drawer underneath to have a little bit more space for my clothes. I mean, that would be my biggest advice for anyone who's about to move in is you can always loft your bed to put more stuff underneath it. So you're saying somewhere that's going to pack less, get in the space. Yes. Figure out what you really need and then go get it. Yeah. And like only bring, if you're from Dallas, let's say, don't plan on going home a whole lot. Just bring your ball closed down here. Make sure to bring some summer stuff. It stays hot probably until October, but don't bring your whole wardrobe at once because you can always take things home and you go home for Thanksgiving. So keep that in mind. Got a couple questions that came in. Yeah. One is from Joy. She asks, is it a twin or a twin XL size sheets? It's twin. Yeah. This is a, I forget if this is a 74. I know it's a 36 across. Yep. So what is it in that dimension? I think you've gotten better and better managing that tape measure. I know. I'm trying to. 77. 77. So 76 probably. Yeah. So it's a 76. It's going to keep that tape measure down. Right, right. So 36 by 76. In this case, we want to give the width first. So 36 by 76 is correct. Yes. I'm going to ask, where would you find the maintenance request? Well, you would go to housing.uark.edu forward slash fix it, F-I-X-I-T. Yes. And that will lead you right there. Also on the homepage, you'll see the letters fix it on the left hand navigation. And you can also just click on there. It's a general maintenance request and you would say in your maintenance request, you would want to say, hey, I need my bed lofted. Yeah. And this is my room and here's my bed. And they will do it for you. I did a lot of maintenance requests. Did you? How did you use the maintenance request usually? Well, our blinds broke. So I had to do maintenance requests for that. And then I thought at one point our air conditioning wasn't working and it was just me not turning the knob. So I did something like that. And then my roommate on the first day of anything moving in, she dropped her thumb down the elevator shaft. Oh. And we had to put in a maintenance request to go get that. But they don't, if you send it late on a Friday, they're not going to get until Monday. She can get her phone until Monday. So she was SOL. So out of luck. It was really good. So out of luck. And it could be something as simple as changing a light bulb too. We're here to help you have a great living experience at the University of Arkansas. Well, it sounds like that's the last of our questions. What do you think, Molly? Well, you can always, if you did have any more questions, you can go to our website, go to housing.ur.edu and click on the individual dorm. And they have some room dimensions on there. If you also didn't catch anything that we were saying, you can also go back and watch this video. And if this is not your dorm, then you can go to movein.ur.edu and see the complete schedule of all of the UR home live videos that we're going to be doing. So that's it for now. Sounds good. And we'll see y'all at 2 o'clock for the next video. Okay. Thanks for waving us up. Bye. Bye-bye.
