 Good morning. Welcome back. I'm Elliot and we are here at the Hots Honors Hall where we're doing our UR home live tour This is shown the foundation a little sign. Yeah, it's a very nice right here right here. Yes This is actually my home away from home. This is the first place. I ever lived at University of Arkansas. So this is very special to me You said to hear your freshman year that I did right on what floor I lived on the seventh floor seventh floor Okay, okay, and what'd you study? I'm an honors finance major right on. Okay So you have inside scoop inside knowledge about living in Hots the ins and outs Excellent. Well, how many students there about a 420 students here. Okay. Okay. It's a pretty tall building I think it's like nine floors What are we seeing if we look like we're right in the front right now of Hots? What are some of the things that we're seeing as we kind of go around here behind me there's Maple Hill So the Maple Hill East South and West Which is also housing the club red which we have so that's where you can go and buy stuff using your flex Which is really handy especially during finals time, right? We're also standing its catty corner to the Quad C building and so the quads also hold the revertible bright dining hall Oh, yeah, right over there in quad B. Is that where you go through? Is that where you poke through right there? Okay, right through there about a minute walk and you're right at the dining hall. Did you eat there a lot? Oh all the time and the desserts there are to die for. Yes And then I'm looking at parking here. Looks like there's a lot of parking So this is one of the two lots that you can park in. This is called the quad lot And then the Maple East and Hotslot. I don't know actual numbers, but we have another larger lot on the other side as well So plenty of resident reserve parking. Nice always good to have although. Did you have a car your first year or not? I did I had a green pass and I had to walk two blocks that way In the ice uphill both ways But I would say resident reserve is the best especially because you're right outside. So I learned the hard way So you would recommend bringing a car or not bringing a car? I would say bring a car. Yeah, you can walk anywhere on campus Have a bike definitely. We have actually a bike house on the other side. It's the largest bike house on campus And it's really nice But just if you need to go somewhere want to go someplace with your friends like waffle house or something like that You need need wheels to get there. Okay, sounds good. So we have seven people watching this right now And I'll just say hello to everyone. You can wave to him too if you want to hey And if anybody has any questions feel free to chime in and we'll get them answered as best we can We do have some representatives from honors college here as well to answer that side of questions We're basically going to be talking about you know your room and The different facilities in here. Do you want to head inside? I'm ready to head inside too. All right Can't we'll fob us in thank you very much can The fob system just in case you're near to the university can you tell us about the fob system? So the way it works each building has electromagnetic lock systems on it And what will happen is you get a key and a fob when you check in and what you'll do is all you do is You hold the fob next to the the little uh fob reader It'll be batch you and then it'll electro magnet electromagnetically unlock the uh the door So you get in so only people from hot can get into hot. Okay. Yeah, that's always a very good security feature Now let me mention that we're transitioning from conference services To the academic school year. So you're seeing a lot of towels right now and things It'll all be put away by the time you come in august right and so yeah, where are we now? So this is the kitchenette. Okay, this is one of my favorite places in hot. Um the kitchenette you have a Microwave oven that you can use you have a fridge all this stuff I highly recommend putting your name on everything that you put in the fridge because this is where people would steal my ice cream all the time Um, but this is one of the best places also just to hang out Um, you have ping pong and pool right over here, which is people will play until the wee hours of the morning every single night Sure, um, but this is one of the best places, especially for social gatherings Just getting to hang out and whatnot. You bet. You bet. Let me go and give them a kind of view of the kitchen here So if you want to cook your own meals, this is the place to come plenty of cabbage right there In the refrigerator should we go in the refrigerator? Let's see if there's anything in there Oh, it's empty right now. Okay, some water bottles All right Let's keep moving on. We've got a question that came in from melissa Um When you look at the rooms, is there any way you can go into when you go this way? All right When you look at the rooms, is there any way you can go into a room that has a part of the room taken out? By like a closet in the hallway For example, she's in room in a third floor room Yeah, let's see if we can such as I think my room was like that really okay So it's like a little bit different design. We'll see if we can we'll see if we can so now we're going into the theater room One of my favorite places. Yeah, we come on in here and take a look around So it's got theater seating a couple of really nice chairs and a couple of like huge bean bags that are really comfy Were you on those bean bags? Have you been on those bean bags? Oh many a time Let me check out that bean bag. I think the brand is called like that boy or something. So There you go. Nice bean bag. Have you ever slept on that bean bag? I have actually you have a couple of times A lot of shame to say a lot of shame to say. I think it's an 80 inch right there What are some movies you've watched in here? Well, so one of my best friends hannah and I would stay up until Three or four or five in the morning every single night for about two months straight and we watched grease valentine's day in new year's eve and all sorts of movies like that To the wee hours of the morning. So I've seen just about every movie you can possibly think of in this room Grease one grease two and grease three. Yes, sir. Wow The grease two is he's from australia. I think right or something. Okay, we go with the original though Yeah, sandy and john travolta. That's the way to go All right, so let's keep moving on There's a lot of details here in the first four of hot tall Mm-hmm And all these spaces I guess are very familiar to you From back in the day from back in the day. So we were going to head into the music room. All right So one of the nice things a lot of the students that we have here are also a part of the marching band and so in order to incorporate them into our Our population here we put in a nearly soundproof music room I say nearly sounding soundproof just because at three in the morning we hear one of them playing the trumpet every day but um fun place We come in here and we play on the piano We do we get our guitars and stuff and have little concerts. It was all sorts of fun What do you play? I do not I mean, okay the electric triangle, but you know Cowbell, can you do a cowbell? I could I keep rhythm very well. You keep rhythm very well I know that okay, but yeah music room for those of you who are in the band And otherwise Okay, so now where are we going? So this is called the letter room Usually there are tons of tables and chairs set up out here for this is one of the best places to study Yeah, I see a lot of people doing a lot of group projects. So if you're in like H2p your first year Um, some of the projects you do they'll be here all day doing projects But we have the letters from uh the first couple of years that the actually I think my guess that's why it's called the letter room, right? Yeah, and we've got someone here as well from honors college if we could we'll say hello to you How are you doing? Well, how about you? Just fine. Uh, what's your name? My name is saryn's boy I'm the associate director of recruitment with the honors college Fantastic, and what are some of the things that you you do on day-to-day basis on a day-to-day basis It's always every day is different right every day is different, but I would say on a day-to-day basis I'm you a prospective student. So we're really interested in the honors college Oh, yeah, so you might have met some of the people who are watching right now who are part of the u-art 20 Right class. I'm thinking I've met with a bunch of you all already. Yeah. Yeah Very good I was actually taking a look at some of the letters and looking at some of the students that I recruited Like brian magania corny wilson. We're having shout outs. Who's this right? Oh, this is brian magania He's a student. He's in my office like almost every day. Oh, yeah The corny wilson's the janet wagner's and so that's one thing I do I try to meet with students and really connect with them. So once they come living huts, we keep that connection going Okay, fantastic fantastic When would the incoming class who are coming in right now? They would meet with you when or would they be meeting with you directly or how they typically meet So any incoming freshman or a rising junior or senior in high school? They can come do a visit here at the u of a and when they visit with the u of a They can elect to meet with the honors college They have a one-on-one meeting with me or someone from my team and we just talk to them about what are the advantages of joining the honors college How can you get engaged at the u of a as well as taking advantage of the honors education? They can always come to honors convocation as well. That's always a fun unit What's the best part of being being a part of the honors college? If you had to break it down for if I had to break it down I think the study abroad is maybe the best piece. I've studied abroad ellie. He studied abroad About 50 percent of honors students study abroad at least once by the time of graduation. Where did you study abroad? I studied abroad in madrid spain first time on a plane. That's when I went to madrid In the following summer. I went to nampool in mozambique. Wow. And where did you right? Where did you study abroad? I went to mozambique as well, but I believe two years later two mozambican trips Okay. Yeah. Wow. That's super cool. Okay It was fun Great. Well, um, anything else you want to tell us about like the academic requirements or anything like that? Yes, so to join the honors college We require students have two things the gpa and the test score If a student has a 3.5 gpa and they're interested in any of the academic colleges Aside from watson college of business. That is one of the requirements. They'll say if they are interested in business It's a 3.75 The uh test score requirement is a 28 composite on the act If they've taken the sat the new one so march 16 to present date They need a 13 10 looking at evidence-based writing and reading and the math piece Fantastic. Well, we're gonna continue to walk around the residence hall. Would you mind joining us just in case any more questions come in? Yes, of course. That'd be awesome. Thank you. So that was the letter room, right? And you spent a lot of time in the letter room. I did I did good deal All right. This is where I spent a lot of my time. So normally there's all sorts of chairs and couches set up Like we said, we're transitioning from conference services during the summer Which you're working for us for conference services, right? Right awesome But one of the best things that we had was these chairs and stuff we'd stay out here We were called the lobby dwellers our freshman year and we'd stay here. I mean all night long Not the lounge lizards, but the lobby drillers. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's been a lot of time out here All the time. Gotcha. So we had good times. Um, one of the nice things is it was right next to the vending machines right over here We'd come get some snacks late night and then any sort of if you need vending machines or anything like that They're right here right in the lobby, which was very nice But we spent way too much time here. Right. We had a question that came in which we'll go ahead and answer from conny She's having a little trouble getting into the live event, but asked Ken we use command hooks and the answer is yes We recommend use command hooks our mirrors included in the wardrobes Yes, I believe so when we go for a look at that and um, then there's several other questions Which we'll get to when we get upstairs. She's got a large number and we appreciate those questions coming in We want to show off the uh deck area. We certainly may so this is the outside patio area It's got some outdoor furniture, which is very nice It's just cool because some very pretty fall days or spring days You can come out here with your friends get some nice fresh air get to chill It's just a nice little area that you get to hang out on Yeah, and I understand that you have some programming that happens here, right? So one of the great things about being in huts you get the community aspect of living in huts Which I'll see a little bit of the academic side. So one of the programs that we do here I wonder if that you will talk to us if we leave it open So one of the programs that we do is professor and pizza on the patio so on the monthly basis Yes, anything that we do here in huts we feed So you all saw full bright dining hall. You saw hill grill You were never more than 300 feet away from food. That is like a deal for you But p3 is what we call it for short We invite professors faculty staff or even graduate students from around campus to talk about How can you get engaged with research or those service learning pieces? And so we hosted here the first one we had last academic year We had over a hundred students and so they were packed on this patio spilling over into the courtyard area It was amazing. What was the topic that's what are some of the topics? That topic particularly was uh about the Mozambique study of Bronx So we like Mozambique The very first one that had they actually used the theater room They watched the episode and dancing with the stars to talk about how ballroom dancing other types of Dance playing to the American culture. They watched it in there Then came out to the patio area to eat pizza and to really discuss that piece Sure, sure. I've had a request to show more of the entire space. So let me just kind of do a 360 here So if we can get a sense of what we're looking at Okay, so let's head in back inside You want to head in over that outside or does it matter? It doesn't matter. There's two entrances for this place. Okay Thanks Griffin. Yeah, we'll try to show more of the actual facility as well So there's a fireplace too to be aware of From here so over here to my left is the front desk area There will be somebody here from 4 p.m. Till midnight every night So if you have any if you want to check out any games pool ping pong whatever you need One of the r. As will be stationed there Another nice thing that we have is called the aria on duty So if you somehow get locked out of your room, which is something also you need to know The doors here locked behind you. I locked myself out going to the bathroom to shower one time So the walk of shame is a thing But if you need to get let in or something like that There's a person you can call from 5 p.m. To 8 a.m. Every day and they will let you into the room or anything else you might need So sometimes people do get locked out all the time. Okay. I am one of those people Here's the place to come front desk right there. Okay, unless you're in your towel Didn't call somebody or call a friend All right, let's keep moving down showing the first floor So over here we have what we call the fishbowl This is literally the best study place on campus. I know a lot of Excuse me freshman that I talked to and they actually want to come in here and study because Typically, it's a pretty quiet place unless I'm in there, but They'll come in here a lot of people up to I think 20 people can come in here Complete with chargers built into the table and whatnot Great place to work on papers projects with other people even just random homework But this is the best place to study with on campus So better request to Speak a little louder for both of us. Yeah, so this is called the fishbowl the fishbowl Let's head in and look at the fishbowl the one and only Complete with large ac tv and it's really cool because you can actually project Whatever you're working with on a computer onto that thing. So if you've got some sort of a project or Presentation you need to work on that's the place to be in this in the building Fantastic. Well, let's keep moving around seeing this first floor of huts So this is another common area and I don't what is the actual name for mr. Terrence Uh, it is the tessellation gaming room Tessellation gaming room And so this is one another place we used to watch, uh You raise your back basketball games football games if it was too cold We'd have about 40 people just chilling right here Having a good time, but this is one of the nice places the human chairs are also one of the things that we love to point out Um, just because of these are like iconic here at huts. Whoa, that's like legs and and everything. Wow Um had some questions come in uh If it's asked is there a printer available on the first floor There is right now, but the best place to do it is in the quad They have an entire computer lab set up Complete with printer all you have to do so you'll have a freshman Kind of fee and it includes all of your printing for the year and so you can go and print however much you need And we've had uh faith. Thank you very much faith. Yam is the She's the graduate assistant for huts programming graduate assistants for huts programming who has chimed in is helping us answer questions as well Thank you very much faith Alyssa asks For the fishbowl are there more computers usually on the desks? No, you'll have to provide your own laptops Okay, there is one desktop right now. Um, and so they'll be able to use it but Pretty much you bring your own laptop gotcha and um something I want to show off as well is this uh arkansas map slash geometric form Who do you have any details about this? So about how this was painted or how it was made I'll chime in on this one. Sure This is our test selection design. You see a bunch of the razor backs are fitting together to make the state of arkansas Uh, the first group of students to live here in 2013 One of the chance to put make their mark on huts And so this took about seven hours and maybe about 50 or more students really participated They came in did the initial outline bolted the print and so this has been here since 2013 The branch out of a local math professor and an artist They came up with the design and the students executed Very good. We've had a comment from oscar about speaking more clearly. We'll try to do that as we can oscar, so if you're having problems Listening and we'll try to make sure we address that so what else do we want to see? Well right behind us over here. There's another study allowed. It's a little more private and secluded And so it's got a nice whiteboard wall over here, which is great for any sort of if you got to sketch out any physics problems I saw a lot of that or calculus Um people would come in here. It's nice and quiet. It's nearly soundproof like the uh the music room But nice chill area where you can just work on problems and write everything out and get a big picture of things Well, it looks like wallpaper, but it's actually wallpaper. You can mark on very cool and it races away Very neat right now the tables that would normally be in here actually being used for Laundry purposes at the moment, but there's usually furniture in here And one of the other really nice things about the hot honors hall It's one of the only dorms that has a built-in workout facility in it So I believe it and read. Yeah It would be read and yeah As you said read and hot both have a workout facility and here's uh face office. We'll just point that out Thanks again faith for helping us Right here and so right now they're in the big middle of renovating and adding things So we're always trying to improve our honors facility But complete with all sorts of uh treadmills step climbers whatever you might need A couple of free weights if you're trying to gain some muscle Um and it looks like there's a lot of new stuff coming in right there So has this changed from the first year when you were here actually they've added a lot of stuff So I'm actually pretty jealous that I'm not back here in the big middle of this So it's asked are the study rooms available to be reserved or are they first come first serve? It's usually first come first serve So that means like if one of the residents is already there you can ask to join them So long as you're quiet respectful of other stuff like that fantastic. All right So where are we going next on the first floor here? So now we're going to take a little bit of a trip down one of the hallways We're going to show you the laundry room sure now Do we talk about mail where they can how they can get their mail we will touch that so fantastic with mail It's not done here at Hots the way it's working this year is we're transferring all of Hots's mail to maple south Which is right next door? One of our administrative specialists mr. Jehong is actually going to do all of the mail processing So if you get let's say you get a package or something like that He will send you an email. You'll run over to maple south. He'll give you the key or the package and you'll be able to grab it Fantastic. So just um, I don't know 100 feet away over maple hill not even that far Okay, let's go look at the laundry. All right. That's a big part of what has to get done Any other questions as they come in? I know I might have missed a few of them up at the top and if so, I apologize. I'll say that Um Connie will try to get to your questions as we can when we get up into the room All right, so here is the laundry room and it's they're we're actually working right now So if you can't hear me just tell me to speak up I will bet any money that you want that this is the best laundry room on campus I mean you have and it's really nice because you really don't have to worry about people stealing your stuff or Moving it because there's so many washers and dryers available But this is where you can come do all sorts of schoolwork as you wait for your laundry, which is very nice that white noise in the background Complete with a wash basin folding tables all sorts of stuff your own personal cubbies if you don't come just in time But it's a really nice setup. And so it's actually really cool They've done they partnered with a new company and we can step outside so they can hear us a little bit better. All right You're gonna tell us about laundry alert. I am So the way it works is they've actually partnered with the new company and we've gotten brand new washers and dryers in a whole new system And the way you can do it is each one has a qr code on the washer or dryer You can scan it with your phone and it'll take you to their website and I'll show you Um, what washers and dryers are available at what time if somebody's using it versus if it's open And also you can set notifications to tell you like hey your laundry's done come down or switch or whatever you need to do So that's very helpful. And also, um, all of your laundry is covered under your room fees Right, so no need to bring quarters. It's all for that which is very nice. Um, susan has a question about mail She says do we still send mail to the hots? Um address I believe so and it will be processed at the union and go to maple south If not the maple south website is on our website or on the website housing dot ua rk dot edu Let me verify with that and come back in the thread and answer your questions susan I want to be sure I'm accurate for you. Do we want to go anything else up here on this one? This is about it and we can go up and actually look at some rooms now going up to the ninth floor All right. I'll follow you along. Here we go If you we're gonna see miss charlotte miss charlotte is the head isa here miss charlotte runs a tight ship Hello, so she will do all she makes sure this place is nice and clean Um, she got on to me a couple times freshman year, but it's because she loves this building so much And how long have you been here? Well, I've been at the university for nine years And uh during the summer I usually do the laundry In this building alone. There's um if the capacity is full it's over 4 000 pieces of laundry Yeah, so it takes uh a good three weeks to get it all done because if we have uh camps that come And they want the linen supplied. It's everything from washcloths clear up to the blankets Yeah, and we usually do those for students that request it That's going to be here like a week or longer. Okay. Yeah, great And then you'll be meeting the students you're coming in in the fall. Oh, absolutely. I'm excited to meet them a face to know Thank you very much. You're welcome So right down here, we have two elevators set up right across from the front desk area Here we are. Oh, and there's digital kiosks here. So that's an important thing to know We have two halls that use mostly digital kiosks and uh or digital signage So we put up flyers there. It's actually the content the things we put up there come from honors college And from housing, but it's a great partnership between our two organizations All right, so you push the floor and we're going up to the penthouse to the penthouse night floor arguably the best view on campus It was a blast. This is where I spent a lot of my time freshman year And so you lived on seven but you were on nine a lot. I was I wasn't are you on nine so much? Uh, there was a girl that I fancy and who is now my girlfriend actually and so she uh She's put up with me now for a while, but she lived on the ninth floor. So I practically lived on the ninth floor Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. So now we're on one of the hot floors Which they're all going to be the same right right and so the way it works the gender breakdown is It's usually alternating. So like the second floor is guys third phobia girls all the way up Um, and so it's girls only on one floor guys only on the other floor Um, you'll have two separate and these are the best Common bathrooms on campus. It's really not even a it's a private public bathroom is what we call it Um, and so we'll show you those in a second, but it's very nice We also do a lot of sustainability programs. And so we do a lot of recycling Um, and I think hotz has won a lot of the uh sustainability awards and recyclomania awards and stuff like that So it's really cool. We're trying to give back to our our earth as well Um, and not only as our students, but is there an example of a water bottle thing on the floor Are they down in the are they down on the first floor? They should be on the first floor We got a new setup where they actually can fill your water bottles. It's like a souped up water fountain Sure, we'll show you those in a second right here. We have one of our two common areas on the floor Um, great for any sort of hanging out late night People would be playing super smash bros till all night all times of the morning Which character do you like to play on super smash bros? I I'm not too good. I like Pikachu a lot, but I'm not too good. I would be the first to admit that Gotcha, would you have a television here? Common meeting area and I guess the opposite side There's even more space over here right with one of the best views on campus That is a great view. You can practically watch the football games from inside of hotz Fantastic All right This should be the room that has the uh, let's go into the room last and let's do a bathroom All right, and then the water fountain that you mentioned So this is the water fountain we mentioned earlier So it's the normal water fountain that functions normally But also one of the cool things is you can put your water bottle up right here And so it'll actually fill your water bottle for you rather than have to wait there for a couple minutes We strongly encourage you to use this it also gives a little count how many bottles you've saved how many Yeah, it's really cool trying to save the earth one one bottle at a time So what I was saying earlier about the private public bathrooms is so it's a common bathroom technically because it has common sink area Complete with uh, when there are mirrors that you can look into But the cool thing is you can actually close all of these doors So there are different setups this bathroom right here is a toilet and a shower And you can actually lock this door and have like specifically requested that the sinks be public Because that's a very common place to interact socially with folks in the morning So that was one of the things that the architects actually designed into the building and as alien mentioned before it's called a public private bathroom Public private bathrooms Let me dip it real quick. I've had a little bit of a connection issue So I don't want to stay in too deep, but I do want to give you an example of the bathrooms Great and there's this area right here. Fantastic. Okay Well, we had a question from Alyssa. She asked how sound proof are the rooms? Ever have any problem with loud people in the lobby? Not terribly um, and the nice thing is None of the rooms are too terribly far from a resident assistant room And so if there are people loud people being loud, sorry about that people being loud Then you can just ask the ra or you yourself can self advocate and ask them to be quiet But it's really not too bad of a problem and during finals because we have quiet hours all the way through so right It's a requirement that people are quiet during that time Because um honors have any special Quiet hours or something like that is just right with the rest of the campus They actually so the entire week of finals week typically what happens Is it'll be quiet hours for certain night or for certain hours in other dorms? But here the honors like it has to be quiet hours 24 hours on the halls at all times So that's really nice, especially if like the fish bowl is taken and stuff like that You can have nice quiet time up here in your own personal room or out in the common area Right. Is there anything else we want to see on the floor before we go into one of the rooms? Think that's uh, what's up? Right. Yeah, so the study room and these are one of the coolest rooms on campus So the way it works is each hall or each floor has two in rooms And so one of the in rooms is actually a study room and like we saw in the private study room downstairs in the lobby This one has a complete wall full of white board. So you can come in you can have all sorts of this is the other lounge too, I'll just point that out There's another lounge, right? So everything's pretty much double. It's the same thing just split in half And so this study room down here You there are white walls everywhere if you have expo markers You can do all sorts of problems on the board or whatever you need to do Great. So this is an example of the study room right on the each hall Hey Stay up there Welcome to HOTS. Very nice. Very nice. So I walked in I've seen anywhere from Cal 3 homework to Humanities projects where they have to write out all sorts of poems or whatever I mean the entire walls are just filled to the ground. Great ideas of the future right up there, huh? That's right. Okay Yeah, and have you did you use this room a lot for just studying or other things? A couple other things. We hung out a lot here My my girlfriend actually lived in the room right next to us. And so we uh, we studied in here We also had a couple of dance parties in here, whatever you needed, you know, study breaks look better So all sorts of fun stuff. You got you got some good moves. Uh, I wouldn't say that Okay, she wouldn't either. Gotcha. Okay. Well, let's go ahead and I guess look at one of the rooms now All right. Um, there was a request to show off a room that had a slightly different configuration. We'll see if we can't get that But this would be Um, Katrina asks about should we bring our own whiteboard markers to the study rooms that they are provided? Um, but sometimes people will take them back to their room I'd say bring your own because it's just you can take them back and forth as you need Yeah, you probably get the ones you exactly want if you're right. So we're in room 925 Here in hot on the ninth floor So this is a standard room. Uh, it's called a double and so two beds It's two areas. There's a lot of light backlighting. I got you. Okay. So two of everything in here You'll have each a mattress and a bed frame A set of drawers which are very spacious. They're very nice Um, so these all pull out. You'll have your nightstand right here I can play with the drawer and a little bit of cubby hole And then this actually right here is a desk and one of the cool things is all of these beds are loftable So you don't have to keep it this time If you're a daredevil like we were a freshman year You can loft it all the way to the top and keep your desk and that stuff under there Or you can move it around how you see fit. So all of this furniture in here is movable As far as the lofting goes, um, you know, you're welcome to bring your own Rubber mallet and get it up where you can ask housing to uh loft it for you Um, and uh, there is a safety bar available if you'd like that too So if you do go really high, we can put a little bar across if you need it So let's see if we give a full view of the room here And you're going to give them a view. Nice view. Yeah And then right here We'll check out this uh the armoire. So each person also gets an armoire Let's see. It does have a built-in mirror. So plenty of space For you to hang clothes up and whatnot. You'll have a nice mirror You can check yourself out in the morning. See if you're ready to go to class Um, and the other nice thing is all of the hot rooms have their own personal Thermostat and built into the rooms. And so if you like it cold in your room and your neighbor doesn't like that Where is the thermostat? So the thermostat should be right behind you or it's behind this door. Let's see It's back here. Let's see. Let's go ahead and give it a go So thermostat is tucked away right up here. Okay, so you can change it right there just how you see fit So we can go up or down however much we need and then there's towel rack right there as well So um had a couple questions come in Uh, Emily jordan asks, uh, Emily asked, can you show a corner room? I think we have a corner room there We can show. Yeah, we can show that Um, is there a locking drawer in one of the cabinets? Yes And so the way it works the nightstand that I showed you, um, we'll show it real quick right here if you So desire, um, all you have to do is just put a little master lock right here Otherwise you can just slide in and out, but there is a locking mechanism. Gotcha And then Alyssa asks, how high can you loft it? How much space is underneath for such for a desk and such? I think the maximum lofting is what is it 71 maybe? Yeah, we can check It's about my shoulder height, which probably doesn't help too much. Let's see real quick So this is About 60 inches. And so I think the mattress is about Seven inches more than that. So about 70 inches is the highest you can possibly go. Right. Okay Let's see then. Let's go ahead and check out. Um, do you see if there's some other questions? I know Some other questions came in earlier. You know Alyssa asked earlier When you look at the rooms anyway, you can go into a room that has a part of the room Taken out by like a closet in the hallway. Can't we have to find a room like that? All the 13 should have that I think 19 should have that. Well, we'll check it out. Okay. Okay. And then some other questions that came in About command hooks mirrors. What is the width Of one of the closet rods in the wardrobes? Let's check this one real quick So the rod itself Seems to be 17 inches 16 and a half inches. Okay 17 16 and a half inches What is the size of the lockable drawer? Well laptop fit so we're talking about probably a 13 or 15 or 17 inch laptop looks to also be 16 inches And it's 20 deep so you can store whatever you need to invent. Can you give the the other dimension too? So you've got width but then I guess the length there 20 21 inches 21 inches. So yeah laptop would fit in there just no problem at all Where are the electrical outlets? So they're actually behind so the way it said it's against this wall Okay, and so it's perfect. So if you were to keep your desk under your bed like I did freshman year There's an outlet right back behind the desk. Okay. Okay. Do we know how many there are? Not off the top of my head. There are more scattered around the room In the other walls, but I think they're covered up by furniture right now. I think There were three if I remember correctly. Okay Where is the cable for tv located? We have a new service with cox. It's digital now and that includes three hbo's I'm not sure where the box is right here. Do you it's hiding right now? But each room does have a cable outlet I think it's also against the wall that kind of covered up right now. It's here. It is behind It's probably behind the wall Do you need a coax cable? There is a small one that comes off. I want to say it's probably about Three feet maybe I would recommend that you brought your own to make sure that you have the length that you need right Let's see what else Would a five by eight Rug fit in this room Yes, I think so you just it would have to go under some of the furniture potentially But it fit we had one freshman year. Yeah Okay Well, no worries Susan glad we could answer that for you Um our extension cords allowed Alyssa. Yes, they are they need to be um compliant with sort of the safety standards But yeah, we we encourage you to use extension cords. Let's go and check out the corner room We're in 924 now. So the nice thing about the corner rooms is they are a little bit bigger And this is where my girlfriend lived freshman year So a little bit more spacious. This is literally the room that your girlfriend The room Gotcha It's nice. It's a little bit more spacious. You got a little more room They had a bookcase and whatnot Yeah back against this wall. These are not white bar walls. Don't be fooled. Okay. You can't you can't ride on those walls No, only some of them not these. Okay So this would be a corner room, which wouldn't be not not as typical But certainly a configuration. It's offered. Um, yeah Let's see. Well, we're happy to take any more questions that come in For either us to talk about the facilities or about even some of the academic issues if you need to ask those Ask a veteran who survived freshman year, right? We have a real live honor student here. Let's talk about it Um, was it tough? It really it wasn't that bad one of the biggest suggestions that I will give you I'll give any student honors or non honors is The biggest thing is I want you to have a social life. I'm one of the resident assistants in michel hill east next year We want kids to have a social life and make friends and have these great memories But the real reason why you are here is to further your future and get that degree And so the best thing you can do freshman year is try to keep as high as a gpa Because the way it works out is if you keep that high gpa, it's easier to Sink down a little bit more as you get more credit hours. It doesn't fluctuate as much It's hard like you did what I did where I started out with a 344 after my first semester I got back into honors, but it's harder to work your way back up than to just step down a little bit I see a lot of nodding over here All the time start high give yourself a little room if necessary Um trying to get your gpa back up in college. It's like trying to rock calm upside down Be honest, uh fun fact about hotz. We have the highest gpa of all residence halls Because students in the honors college have to maintain a 3.5 But even outside of that because of the study spaces because of knowing the healthy balance between a social life and academic life Students know how to be be engaged while also keeping academics first Gotcha. Um, thank you a couple more questions. Uh, if it's asked Where do students normally set up their tv's? Where'd you go for instead of for tv in here? She actually she was kind of dare dare devil. She put it on top of her Her arm are here. That's what we did in my room. That was very nice Especially if you have a corner room, this area right here is very nice if you just set it up against this wall The one of the best places to put it is if you have a fairly decent size tv Put it on top of here. Make sure you don't knock it off But um that way both roommates can see it no matter where they are in the room Gotcha. Okay. Well, let me give uh Griffin asked for a pan of the room. Let me give that to him So there's our big study bureau Right there There's one bed Were we able to find um, were we able to find one of the rooms that have the uh, the slightly different Okay, let's go ahead and go check one out if you don't mind leading us down there Yeah, the air chase. That's what we want to show off Because we want you to know exactly what you're getting This also gives us a good view to finish off for right So the other nice thing about hot is it has a uh, a trash shoot So rather than have to take your trash all the way downstairs. Put it in the dumpster. Yes Here we are you can actually just drop it down the trash shoot and it'll go And it'll be good to go Okay This is an array room. This is an array room. Okay single. Uh-huh, but it shows off what this is like So this is just a single but you can see how that how the wall works that way in this one And we have one that had a built-in wall as well My freshman year it really wasn't that bad to work around it actually fit perfectly with the bed and the desk and so We never encountered any problems with it Um Grant asks do most students bring a fridge and microwave or is it not necessary? I'd say if you know if you want to have some snacks and stuff like that It's handy to have one of the services we have at the university is you can actually rent a combination of mini fridge and microwave Um for 89 dollars for the year I believe is the ring and what they'll do is the arrays will come in before you They'll put your stuff into the room and then at the end of it You just leave that there and you'll be done with it You can find that link on move in dot ur dot edu And then there's a page called what to bring and about halfway down there You'll see the link to renting those things. Let's finish off with a great view out here Beautiful so you can see literally the entire campus from these from this side of pots. That's old main right there There is the stadium beautiful all right, well, let's go ahead and finish up and Tell everybody I guess we're we're super excited that you're coming welcome. This was my favorite place on campus I always say a home away from home, but some of my best memories are from haunts and it was an absolute amazing time Very good very good any final words from otters college We look forward to having everyone here if you are on campus I encourage you to visit us at our home gear heart hall So this is where the students hang out the staff of otters college We hang out on gear heart hall where we have student lounges and private study rooms where you can check out those areas Fantastic One final question is the bus stop close to haunts. It's perfect. So really one of the major Bus routes that you're gonna take is the yellow route and it runs right out to the parking lot We didn't see it's right on the other side of that. So it's perfect spot for everything you can eat We came in through the south entrance, but you're talking about the north entrance, right? Okay. Well, great Well, thank you everyone for joining us for the live tour We'll try to follow up with some of those questions in the thread as we go and uh, you can wave us out Thank you guys
