Kortney and Karlee hey next year I want to apply to A&M and I was wondering if u can contact me so I can ask u some questions I really need an answer to
When I was a freshman I lived at Neeley. We had the gross old carpet and mold in our closet! Of course right after we left is when they went in and put in wood floors and fixed everything up lo. Cute dorm! My brother lived in Hobby in 2004.
Ah :(, I am so glad they remodeled it! I was totally planning for gross carpet that had been there for 10+ years, haha! Thank you & thanks so much for watching girl! XO
I'm a late college goer. I graduated high school in 2015 and just this week applied for the Spring 2017 semester as a Freshman at TAMU. I was already interested in the modular style dorm and this just solidified it for me.
I'm going to Texas A&M this fall and am staying in a modular hall! This has definitely helped me with how I plan on setting up my room next year and given me tips for storage! Thank you so much!
Hello.. Kourtney.... My son will be attending TAMKingsville..this fall.. so im watching vids ... i luv the idea for privacy curtain .. Especially if one roomate is sleeping and one in restroom area changing clothes... Of course i will be decorating and picking bedding and supplies.. I plan on getting small fridge too.. Is there a grocery store close by? How did you raise your beds? Is the cafeteria open on weekends?
Awesome video and I love your décor!!! Do you remember what size name decal you ordered? Options range from 12inches to 38inches on the site you provided.
I have been looking for some dorm shelves/ storage like the one on your bathroom floor seen at 2:42. Do you know where you or your roommate got it from?
Im sorry, I am not. I actually took the set home and switched out my bedding. I loved this color scheme! You are going to have a blast this fall, TAMU is seriously the best!!! Thanks for watching! XO
Cute room! I wanted to go there but ended up commuting and went to tamu commerce instead. Still a good school but I feel like I missed out of the college experience.
This was so helpful! I noticed y'all had one closet in the hallway by the bathroom and one by the beds. Did you split both closets with your roommate or did you each take one full closet? And I got these 6-shelf hanging closet organizers. Would those be beneficial? I noticed that only one of the closets would be able to fit a hanging closet organizer. Also, my roommate and I were thinking of raising the bed and putting the desk underneath. Would the bed be tall enough? Lol sorry for all these questions. Thanks for the video! I'm going to TAMU in the fall!
Yes, we each have 2 closets. There are 4 closets total in the room (2 in the hallway by the bathroom & 2 by the beds) , so we each had 2 to ourselves. I used the shelf hanging closet organizers to store my shoes, you could totally use them somehow! The hanging organizer will probably only work in the closet by the bed, but you could hang 3 or so up. You could raise your bed to put a desk underneath, it will definitely go that high. We just didn't want to climb up the ladder every time to get to bed (#lazygirlprobs haha!). Let me know if you have any more questions, I would love to help! You picked the BEST school ever! Have tons of fun!!!
tisch parks They aren't remodeling any north side dorms. The last time I heard about changes are that they were trying to revert HAAS into mostly honors students. They are fixing the commons and the quads. There might be more changes, but don't know. (Class of '17)
Hi! Thanks so much for this video. I was wondering that for the curtain you used to separate the restroom area from your sleeping area, did tamu already have the curtain rod installed or will we need to bring one? Thanks!!
I'm a senior and have also been looking into TAMU since I live in Texas and I was just wondering if there is anyway to have your own dorm or if you can rent an apartment nearby, but I've also heard its mandatory for some colleges for freshmans to be in the dorms. An also I was wondering if we could bring our own mattress cause i'm a serious germaphobe and my friends who graduated said that some colleges reuse mattresses! lol
Yes, I think you can get your own room in some of the dorms. As a freshman, you do not have to live on campus or in the dorms. There is plenty of apartments around to choose from if you do not want to live on campus. You could bring your own mattress probably if you could somehow leave their mattress in your room. One of their rules is that all the furniture they own has to stay in your room & you can't move it out. Fortunately, all of our furniture & mattress was brand new this year....I think we just got lucky! You totally need to take a tour of TAMU if you have not before! :)
Thank you!!! They are these gold polka dot wall decals I got from Amazon! Super easy to put up & then take off! Here is a link to them: amzn.to/2m67bcR
I just received my acceptance a few days ago! My roommate and I both applied for Hullabaloo. Do you think if we both applied the day that the housing application opened we would be able to get Hullabaloo and our requested roommate?
AHHH CONGRATS GIRL, THATS SO EXCITING! I honestly don't know. My roommate & I did that as well on the first day of opening, 2 years ago. We for sure wanted to be roommates & put our roommate preference first & hall preference 2nd. Everyone that I have talked to who lived in Hullabaloo put hall first & just went potluck for roommates. Maybe since it is a few years old the demand for Hullabaloo won't be as high. Best of luck!
Ah so sorry I am just now seeing this!!! Probably too late now, but YES! Go to fish camp! It's where you are introduced to all of the traditions at Texas A&M & a good way to make some friends before you actually start school!
Yes, super easy! Especially if you don't press over them. Just lightly place them on the wall & then when you want to take them off they peel off easy! :)
My roomie actually did it! I don't think it was that hard. I think she just had the cable that came with the tv. If you bring an apple tv I think you will need an HDMI cable...totally not for sure on your question. sorry!
Hey, so one last question I'm so sorry! But, would you recommend I get a twin comforter and sheets or twin xl? What did you get? Thank you so much again!
No worries at all! I got twin XL in everything because I got a mattress pad for my bed (which I would recommend, it made my bed way more comfy). With the mattress pad on the twin XL fit perfect!
I am going there in 2023 and that's when I graduate and yay class of 2023 and my dad served so I get any college I want to go to for free and because my served in the army and you are amazing
I'm applying for housing at the moment and I was wondering if you know which halls are best for freshmen? I'm more of an introvert and prefer not to be where the parties are at. Great video btw :)
Hullabaloo would be my pick if I was a freshman, not sure if there are parties there. But it is only a few years old & the nicest! There is a Starbucks at the bottom of it, nice hangout area & also has good study rooms! Each floor in all of the dorms have a couple of RAs, they help to keep the noise/parties to a minimum! Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching & Gig'em!!! :)
Thank you!! what would be the second best hall to live at since I can't afford Hullabaloo, and do you know anything about the Living Learning Programs?
+Lizbeth Herrera Hobby is the only other hall I know much about! That is where I lived & where this video was filmed. It’s on NorthSide & it was always quiet when I lived there. No sorry, I don’t know about the Living Learning Programs
Gig'em!!!
Madolyn Anderson agreed!👍🏼
Kortney and Karlee Gig'em I really want to go to a&m I'm in 8th grade and I'm watching all these college move in's I'm just ready for college

Hello.. Kourtney....
My son will be attending TAMKingsville..this fall..

i luv the idea for privacy curtain ..
Especially if one roomate is sleeping and one in restroom area changing clothes...
Of course i will be decorating and picking bedding and supplies..
I plan on getting small fridge too..
Is there a grocery store close by?
How did you raise your beds?
Is the cafeteria open on weekends?
Awesome video and I love your décor!!! Do you remember what size name decal you ordered? Options range from 12inches to 38inches on the site you provided.
Thank you so much! Yes, mine was 28" tall! :)
This is the cutest dorm room I have ever seen! I wish my dorm room looked like this lol! Great job decorating, I really liked this video 😊
Aww thank you so much!!! I love to decorate! :)
I have been looking for some dorm shelves/ storage like the one on your bathroom floor seen at 2:42. Do you know where you or your roommate got it from?
Im sorry, I do not. :( You might look for similar ones from Amazon or The Container Store...thanks for watching!!!
What size curtain and curtain rod did you need for the bedroom door and for the window? I can't find these dimensions listed anywhere!
Super cute dorm room! I could tell you two put a lot of effort into it!
Thank you Katelyn & Kailey!!! XO
Do you happen to be selling this bed set? I'll be attending A&M in the fall and was looking to do the same colors!
Im sorry, I am not. I actually took the set home and switched out my bedding. I loved this color scheme! You are going to have a blast this fall, TAMU is seriously the best!!! Thanks for watching! XO
Cute room! I wanted to go there but ended up commuting and went to tamu commerce instead. Still a good school but I feel like I missed out of the college experience.
Thank you so much!!!
Do you have to take down all the gold stickers before you leave? Or will you be in there again next year?
Melissa Geittmann yes I moved out this past year & had to remove all of the stickers. It actually went a lot faster to remove them than I imagined!☺️
This was so helpful! I noticed y'all had one closet in the hallway by the bathroom and one by the beds. Did you split both closets with your roommate or did you each take one full closet? And I got these 6-shelf hanging closet organizers. Would those be beneficial? I noticed that only one of the closets would be able to fit a hanging closet organizer.

thank you so so much! The video was great!!!
Do you know if they remodeled Neely also? What about other northside modulars?
I have no idea, sorry I'm no help!

The love the way you dressed your bed!
Aw thanks!
Hi! Thanks so much for this video. I was wondering that for the curtain you used to separate the restroom area from your sleeping area, did tamu already have the curtain rod installed or will we need to bring one? Thanks!!
+Crystal Nguyen howdy!!! Of course! :) no we brought it! Hope you have a fab school year! Gig'em!👍🏼

my dorm walls are going to be textured also. did you have any problems with the gold dots staying on the wall? did any ever fall off?
Not really! I would say only about 5 or so fell down the entire year!
Cool thanks
LOVE your dorm room, the polka dots are so fun! Gig Em!!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you love it! The polka dots are from Amazon (super cheap & easy to use!) & yes girl, GIG'EM! 👍🏼

Like this is my dream school bmi live in Houston so it's kinda far but not too far and I can't wait to go there
Ah I love Texas A&M so much!!! Best school ever! TAMU is less than 2 hours away from Houston so thats pretty close!
A&M is pretty high up on my list. What are you majoring in?
You definitely need to take a tour, if you have not before! :) & marketing!
I just received my acceptance a few days ago! My roommate and I both applied for Hullabaloo. Do you think if we both applied the day that the housing application opened we would be able to get Hullabaloo and our requested roommate?

Lol it's me again! I've been contemplating going to fish camp and was wondering if you went and what it was like?
Ah so sorry I am just now seeing this!!! Probably too late now, but YES! Go to fish camp! It's where you are introduced to all of the traditions at Texas A&M & a good way to make some friends before you actually start school!
Cute dorm, I can't get over how fsr off the ground your bed is.
Haha, it wasn't that bad after awhile! & the little step help a ton!

I LOVE the poka dots!
Aw, thank you! They are such an easy & cheap way to make a room stand out!
What size decal did you get? :)

I'm going to be living in Hobby next semester, do all the rooms have hardwood floors?
Im not 100% sure, but I think so!
Do the polka dots come off easily?
Yes, super easy! Especially if you don't press over them. Just lightly place them on the wall & then when you want to take them off they peel off easy! :)
This was SOOO helpful!! Thank you!!! I can't wait to move in in August :)
Im glad it was helpful! :) you are going to have the best time!!! Good luck with your first year at TAMU! let me know if you have any questions!
I have a question, actually! Was it hard to set up your TV? What cables do I need to buy? Thanks!!
My roomie actually did it! I don't think it was that hard. I think she just had the cable that came with the tv. If you bring an apple tv I think you will need an HDMI cable...totally not for sure on your question. sorry!
Hey, so one last question I'm so sorry! But, would you recommend I get a twin comforter and sheets or twin xl? What did you get? Thank you so much again!
No worries at all! I got twin XL in everything because I got a mattress pad for my bed (which I would recommend, it made my bed way more comfy). With the mattress pad on the twin XL fit perfect!
