Hi! I just want to say this video is really helpful! I’m planning to live in jester east this upcoming fall and I was wondering if you recommend any certain floors? I just want to be prepared when housing contracts for rooms come out :)
Hello Thanks for the video. This is very helpful. Do you have the dimensions from drawers under the bed to the other side of the bed? I am trying to figure out the size of the storage cubicles to buy to go under the bed for my daughter.
Hello, Do you know what size bunk shelf will fit (like the one you have) and also the under bunk dimensions for storage (height, width, depth)? Thank you!
reillyjg hey - so yes - book shelfs like the one i have, are cubes & those are usually standard cube size, but basically the ones that fit are the 4 x 4 cubes - target sells them , mine is a 4x 3 cubes..., also keep in mind that a bigger one CAN fit... as you can move the bed all the way up like a bunk bed to the top of the metal parts!! i don’t know dimensions but i suggest looking at the jester east room layout - just google it & you’ll find specific dimensions
Hi! I'm an incoming freshman this year and I was curious about the availability of places to refill water bottles or maybe a brita filter for the dorm. I might be living in Jester East, do you know if they have water refill stations?
Brenna Van Skiver yes so there is a few water fountains on each floor- check out my video of like “things to bring to college that aren’t obvious” & i talk about it a little more - a brita filter would probably be convenient!!
alondra lopez yes - floor 1-3 of jester west are non renovated - technically you just can’t move around furniture as it is all set - also floor 1 has pretty bad AC - it’s SO HOT
@@rudisel i would say east -- i liked floor 3 but floor 2-4 would probably be great && one of the rooms that are blocked off in the hallway -- so like i had 306 and location was great
Hi Dear, My daughter is coming there this Fall. I am leaning more towards Jester east because of the safety issues and closeness to everything. But she is more worried about the communal bathroom. She is germaphobic. She wanted to live off-campus with her friend. I really appreciate it if you can help me convince her.
Hello!!! Yes as far as safety, leaving on campus is definitely the best! Usually being off campus tends to be in west campus and then she’d have to take more safety precautions! Jester east is great! They also have rooms with shared bathrooms! So it is jack and Jill style and 4 girls would share them! However they have to clean it themselves! Whereas the communal bathrooms get cleaned by the cleaning lady twice a day!!!! Which is so great because they’re typically always clean!!!! Living on and off campus both have its perks!!! Another place I’d suggest looking at is SRD (Scotish rite dormitory) it is in north campus, practically right next to campus and a LOT safer!!!! Many girls live there and the girls make such a tight community!!! Much safer than west campus!
Hello! Loved ur video (i keep rewatching it LOL) I was wondering do we have to clean our own floors -- if so we have to keep a vacuum/sweeper -- or does someone come in to clean it?
Blue Planet you have to clean it! we had a sweeper & would wash the rug at least 3 times per semester... there is a cleaning lady & im sure if you give her a few dollars she probably wouldn’t mind coming in real quick & doing it! but usually everyone cleans & sweeps themselves! so i would recommend having a sweeper or a small vacuum!
Hi there! I’m attending UT next fall, and I would love to get your general opinions of on campus dorms! I’m leaning toward San Jacinto, Jester East, or possibly Kinsolving, but I really have no point of reference from any people who’ve lived there! Any advice you have on what each dorm is like would be so helpful!!
melissa elkins are you referring to like the little christmas lights??? like the cute ones? if so then they are not allowed!!! so sad!!! UT doesn’t allow any of their dorms to have string lights! my roomate i think did have some that were even like battery powered & they still told her to take them down! they are pretty strict about it too :(
here’s the link: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254122125545 i know i got mine for like $20 but i can’t find it anymore since it was like back in july when i got it! but if you keep searching you will probably find them! my roomate got hers from target!
yeah so actually you can loft your bed and make it either higher or lower and you can put it all the way at the top to where you can have your desk under your bed and have more space! for sure!
Question about community bathrooms. How’s the set up? How many stalls? Does it seem private? How many showers? How’s the security? Can anyone use them?
The Youngs Hi! To go into the bathrooms you need a code which you type to enter! You can only use that code for your designated community bathroom (each floor has 2 for women & 2 for men - but you can only use one). It has 5 stalls, 3 sinks, & 6 showers. 2 of the showers have curtains & the other 4 have a door with a lock! Only the people in your section can use them which is about 10 dorm rooms total! There was always an empty stall & empty shower when i needed to shower! They get cleaned twice a day & the ladies are very kind & sweet!
You have to get a parking permit! If you live on campus it is called the R permit or R+; when I was an incoming freshman it was about $800 a year. Usually there is a waitlist and they have you sign up and select your choice of garage preference! Then you find a few weeks later, which garage you got!
I am an upcoming freshman in the moody college of communication, but I am planning on transferring to the McCombs school of business. If you know anyone who internally transferred to McCombs school of businesses I would love to ask a couple of question.
yeah actually I know someone going through the process! send me a message on instagram and I will connect you to them! @andrea__sebastian (2 underscores)
Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this! My daughter will be there in the fall, and this has been very helpful!!!

Hi again! Also do you know the width and depth of the closet for a shoe rack? And the height from the clothing rod to the ground? Thank you again!

That is so exciting! You are going to LOVE it! I am a business major- most likely going to declare either marketing or management!
