For prospective UALR students, one of the first questions they ask is, “Where will I live? On- campus? At home? Off-campus?” In an effort to answer these questions and hopefully draw potential students to live on campus, we’re creating a video to showcase our beautiful resident halls and apartments.

I had the privilege of helping oversee this video shoot yesterday. Our talented grad assistant, Jef, handled all the technical details, while I rounded up students to help us with our mission.

After filming the commons areas, we headed to East Hall and South Hall. Some generous students allowed us into their rooms so we could get a true picture of what on-campus housing looks like. I had a vision of empty pizza boxes being strewn about, but these rooms were exceptionally clean!

I was personally impressed with the full-sized washer and dryer in the apartments in South Hall.

Before wrapping up for the day, I took some pictures of the construction going on at the new West Hall, set to open this upcoming Fall semester. This will be such an asset to our campus, creating two additional six-story buildings with pod-style communities.

For more information on all that UALR has to offer to students living on campus, visit the Housing website. Also, stay tuned for our upcoming video! It might make you want to move in, too!
