@@stevemcdonald4400 For those unaware, "we wuz kangs" is a dogwhistle racist term, referring to a perceived idea that black people think themselves superior despite poverty in the US. This is in spite of the fact that no black person has ever said this in real life ever, pointing to how terminally online this pencil dick swamp creature I am replying to, truly is. It also ignores the generations of extreme redlining in baltimore, the consequences of said redlining such as exposure to asbestos and lead paint, and extreme police profiling. Like a cockroach, I hope by shining a light on this comment, these dogwhistle racist phrases will scuttle back into your mom's basement from which they originated. If this video does not inspire compassion, I am sorry to inform you that you have peanut brain, and you have caused your lord Jesus to choke on a carrot in the afterlife with your echoing stupidity. Have a nice day.
That college has a tragic story, it was started back in 1980 and ran until 2015-ish. It was basically a college serving Baltimore city residents. They got into problems with the accreditation board and also serious financial troubles. I think they had the right idea but the obstacles were just too much. For one thing students came in terribly under-prepared for college much of their effort was just equipping students with the basics that they had missed because of the crappy Baltimore city high schools. At some point they lost accreditation (eg their bachelor's degrees became meaningless), the school had to close up and it ended up vacant-- in a super rough neighborhood beset with junkies and street people. Of course, they're going to break in but not to take pictures, they go in to rip out copper for scrap, take out anything remotely valuable, shoot up and just trash the place for fun. In 2016, there was a fire on the third floor. Looks like some of that is water damage from the fire fighters. Maryland has strict real-property laws which effectively give property owners the right to let their buildings rot. It's a big problem in Baltimore. Real estate ends up in an ownership "limbo" where no one takes responsibility for it. That's why some neighborhoods look like they've been bombed. Typically the owner goes bankrupt or gets foreclosed, a creditor (typically a bank or even the city) becomes the owner but they just sit on it and no one maintains the building. The building very quickly becomes open to casual entry by junkies, at some point the roof gives out, water damage occurs, roof collapses, the structural issues follow making the building un-sellable and requiring it to be demolished. Of course all other properties in the area suffer consequences from this and it becomes a downward spiral for the whole neighborhood. I used to live not far from that college. When it was running it was well-maintained and tidy-- an asset to the neighborhood. It's a pity that something could not be worked out to at least keep the building secure and in operation.
Great background information, very interesting. People don't want to hear it but the citizens of Baltimore keep voting for the same people that ushered in this decayed state. And what do you know, they keep getting more of it! The problem is with city leadership, enough with the excessive sympathy for the junkies and criminals. Take a zero tolerance stance and clean that place up!
@@ChristopherLeBlancArtAndDesign The urban decay you're talking about is caused by a complex mix of many factors, starting with white flight, extending through the heroin/crack/oxy epidemic, and systematic disinvestment. "Getting tough" and mass incarceration has *never* worked. It's been tried in Baltimore and elsewhere. If it had _actually_ worked, it would have been replicated everywhere by now. In fact, "getting tough" backfires. Why did the 2015 riots that could have burned down the city occur? Because the police decided to "get tough" on Freddie Gray and murdered him in the process-- that was the last straw in a long history of police abuse.
It seems there's always a permanent army of drug abusers, vandals, stealers, hoarders, crazy homeless and other fuckheads waiting for some action anytime and anywhere. As soon as the last door is closed, in the next 30 minutes they move in the premises and ruin everything they touch.
@@buchichu7034 You should move to Baltimore. I recommend the wonderful neighborhood of Cherry Hill. I'd be nice to see if your views on the world change at all.
@@buchichu7034 Yeah the “progressives” who ordered all the state mental hospitals closed leaving people on the streets, people too far gone for community care
Destiny yeah it’s a crap shoot of what you are going to get but a lot of the residents like to live up to the stereotype of you are not from around there
When you go exploring is a shit area like Baltimore the "Is anyone here?" is more of a warning that you're there so whoever else is there doesn't get startled. Would you answer? Guy asking might be some crazy murderer.
Could also not ask it and scare the shit out of anyone either wAy~ Shiey did that when exploring an abandoned school! Although, he did end up playing the piano before so it probably scared the shit out of those girls.. haha
@@flamethrowercandle2354 yes, I live in Baltimore, I live in an area with million dollar houses, everyone works, we don’t hear sirens everyday or step over dead bodies walking to our garages.. yes, there are some horrible areas of Baltimore mist like their are horrible areas of Dalla, but our entire city isn’t bad... none of the big cities the media make out to be horrible usually are. The parts of Baltimore they show you in telly are literally a few square miles, you could walk three or four of the areas they show sometimes in as little as 15 minutes.. it’s all about what they tell you and how they explain it.. you should come to Baltimore, we are known for our charm and our world-class crab cakes.. yo won’t be disappointed
Marisa yes i had some absolutely amazing professors there who were professionals in leadership. The business part of the college is what got all crazy.
First, that shot with the helicopter sound over it is gorgeous. Second, how sweet was the lady at the beginning? Another brilliant video. Thanks Dan!!!!
Wow I went there... great college...I value the education I received there. It went under due to financial problems. I was apart of the last graduating class in 2015. I remember everyone being very emotional about its closing, including myself. The school helped many working adults and even had a daycare. Sad to see it in this condition. 😢
That lady seemed so sweet. Thanks for giving us something else to be terrified about for a while. It's so sad to see an academic institution abandoned and unused when education can help lift people out of poverty (I know Dan has lots of opinions about its value though XD Can we agree on a vocational institution maybe, Dan?) Anyway, your videos are always superb. Glad you got that sponsorship cash coming in!
Same! I found him from his videos on Owings Mills Mall, I grew up right near there. He's definitely inspired me to check out a few more places like this next time I'm home
It was great to see you do a film like the old days. These are the kind of films that got me hooked on your art. They always make me bite off all my fingernails while watching them. Thanks for the nostalgia. You are a great filmmaker.
I know now that you were talking about the "death angel" when you said "wtf is that?" but at first I thought you were talking about the reproductive system diagram next to it and I found that really funny
I like how Dan isn't full of himself, Dan Bell is an everyday, every-mans man, can walk along side an every day person, never change Dan, you are what I call a human, not just a homo-sapien, I bet she appreciated your help and genuinely cared for you to be 'fucking safe' haha.
Dan , What would you have done if that frog you shook started singing " Hello My Baby , Hello My Darlin ' , Hello My Ragtime Gal " ?? . Keep up the great work and be safe.
It is heartbreaking to know that once, many brilliant young minds who were full of hope for their future called this place home. That picture with the joyful graduating class, noticed that one pupil was on a wheelchair. I hope they are all doing well.
I admire Dan’s work. As someone who’s from Baltimore, I’d just want to comment on the fact that Dan’s content does highlight the dark parts of the city, and it’s not all that terrible; it’s not all that great either. I think Dan does an amazing job at showcasing what needs to be explored, what needs to be shown and what needs to be brought to the attention of the public on what places need to be fixed (if that’s ever even possible to do). In all, if you’re not from Baltimore, and enjoy Dan’s content, I just hope everyone keeps that in mind. It’s a dirty city just like all cities are dirty, but again, it’s not as terrible as people think it is.
You blew every single person in a straightforward manner? That honestly must be termed “amazing” as well as astonishingly “homosexual”. Hats and many other articles of clothing off to you, Mr. Invincible Man!
I came to RUclips today, upset and crying and looking for a way out of my own head. This is the best distraction. I’m 30:32 in and I’ve already started to calm down and breathe. Thank you for videos like these. You never really know the people who you help on a daily basis, just by being yourself. I’m here to tell you, at least for me, you help me tremendously. I know it’s been hard for you lately, our mental health is just as important as our physical. I’m glad you are doing better now and putting more of your creations on your platforms. They really do make a difference.
I love Dan Bell videos because where else could I watch an hour of a guy whispering "What was that? Do we have company? Is someone there? What was that sound?" and then just nobody lol. But seriously, I do love these.
Sometimes when I watch these videos I feel like I’m watching a playthrough of a horror game where you are walking through the scary buildings trying to find something or find your way out. And what adds to it is how Dan sometimes touches stuff as if he’s pressing A to interact and will say a witty line
Why is it that the people living or hanging out in places like this not collecting all the items they could sell for couple of bucks? Most Real estate want the crap cleaned out.
Who would want any of this stuff? It all has a stench you can't clean away, and anything with crevices (table legs, gym equipment, those old worthless monitors, etc) likely has things living in it. Plus heroin users would probably only sell when desperate for a fix and who would feel comfortable taking money out to give them for something? Many of them are likely just in a bad place but others would be desperate enough to rob someone. Also, that building was almost definitely abandoned by the college probably immediately. Even in perfect shape it would cost more than the building to fix, with lead paint, asbestos, and fire/safety code violations that didn't exist when first built. The best the bank or real estate company can hope for is a developer will buy it and knock it down, but even that would cost so much more money than building some abandoned row houses. It's depressing considering Baltimore city's rich history. But it's been on a downward slope ever since people began to move for the suburbs in the 50s and 60s.
Well, I was 20 minutes in and said I was surprised the walls weren't ripped apart for copper. 22:30 has a wall that has a huge hole in it. So people already took some of the only things they could be resold.
As a former consumer of Baltimore's most sold commodity (heroin)...when you're looking for a fix you need it to feel normal yet alone appear normal lol..mostly you're looking for quick money..and a pawnshop (a reputable one anyway) would want to know where you got the items and technically, abandoned or not, taking things out amounts to theft.. Basically, it's not worth the hassle..so reusable stuff gets left to rot..its a shame..
Well on top of squatting being illegal, stealing property while trespassing is also pretty illegal. I remember Dan was lookin at a VERY 70's office chair that was in a pretty okay condition, he wanted to take it instead of having it rot or be destroyed by vandals but couldn't. It sucks because I'm the type of person to pick some furniture off the street.
It's interesting. Depending on the area, liquidation centers demand to be PAID to remove your furniture if it isn't a quality brand. Sometimes buildings just leave the furniture in since it easier to just let it sit than to find a solution to sell it off.
I love how Dan calls out, "Anyone there?" The tone is assertive, yet respectful. It conveys, "We mean you no harm, sorry if we disturbed you." Dan's a big guy and has quite a presence. I get why he's freaked out in places, though. What happens if they encounter groups of squatters that really have nothing to lose? People, yes, but dangerous, desperate people.
Baltimore drug den at night? You're crazy. And how about some particle masks and gloves? I wouldn't want to be breathing the dust in there or touching things with bare skin. Then again, I wouldn't be in there in the first place.
One of those boxes in that file room said payroll. I hope it doesn't have anything that should be protected in it. Reminds me that if a business goes bankrupt and I was an employee, I hope they shred my SS# and bank account info. That should be a requirement.
Blows my mind they would leave behind those incredible science models and replicas. Those things are expensive and it’s not like they ever become obsolete. I guess it would have cost more to pack everything and take inventory than to just trash it.
I have never figured out in these places why not open for a weekend and sell off whats in there instead of letting it all rot, or give it away to someone who could use the help.
I stayed at a semi-abandoned college once on a school trip as it was cheap. They were using it as a hotel, but nothing had been renovated. It was musty, some of the heaters either wouldn't turn on, or wouldn't turn off, and there were some parts of the building that were chained off due to damage. It was really weird, but bats liked the upper floors. It was still habitable, but barely. I think the place I stayed at did become a school again, but I don't know if the residence building ever got repaired. Really creepy.
Jesus, it's like Crackhead Adventures in there. Dude, you didn't take the Death Angel? That's a legendary weapon man! Not to mention the dried kermit talisman!
I was long overdue for a good dose of creepy Dan Bell! Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya. Thought I heard a guy say, “please leave me alone,” at one point. Btw, Naproxen Sodium is an anti inflammatory. 👍
Dan, I saw this college years ago before it had gained too much attention to the fact that it could be accessed, right before the first fire, and it was in perfect condition, nothing like this...like everyone had just vanished.
Dan, thanks for keeping your videos about the exploration. So many other URBEX channels seem to be about putting the explorers personality on display or trying to create some sort of adventurer facade to broadcast. I really appreciate how you shoot and commentate your videos.
Omg. Dan with the big balls exploring yet another sketchy place. I live vicariously through his efforts. I truly appreciate this exploration. I could never!
I’d say it is! I haven’t been there in years but that’s a vibe I always remember sensing whenever I went. Even when you drive into the city on the freeway you can sense that it’s a city with a helluva story.
Unfortunately not the creepy college but a huge dumping ground of trashes, unsecured documents and litres of urine. I bet it looks more interesting from outside than inside. A real wastage of place, money and memories of former employees. What a pity.
You just described half of Baltimore unfortunately... What used to be called "Charm City" has mostly fallen into disrepair..and I don't see anything changing in the near future.
@8:40 Those are the bottoms of cans cut to cook heroin on. You can see the cotton still in one. Those are burn marks on the table from putting the hot can down after holding the flame under it.
Nah, Dan just stepped back and the black thing's view was blocked by the stairs, even before he pans away the black thing can't be seen anymore but it's because Dan moved himself and the camera.
Apparently my father went to this college in his early years. I showed him this video and started crying and talking about the good times he had here. He kept pointing out things and names relating to rooms and such.
Interesting! I’d imagine it was sad for your dad to see how it is falling apart, used as a drug den, with all the junk. The upstairs is in much better shape.
Wow, DB, those opening 45 seconds were like an 80's thriller/slasher flick. Beautiful shots! The only thing missing was an obligatory saxophone track belting out. Masterful.
Hi Dan, I still worry about you after all these years. It always feels like someone or something will pop out around every corner. Take care my friend and stay healthy. Your Faithful Follower, Kathy B. 💜 Fairylady0227
I'm surprised that pelvic model was still hangin around. Medical models are expensive, so even if the school was going out of business, I would've expected someone working there to grab it, even as a souvenir.
Hey Dan, I was so eager to see a new video from you! I've just recently rewatched the famous "real life shining at 2 am" that I just love =) Greetings from France 🇫🇷❤️
Yhe heroin room with the blue couch is just meleancholic. i picture them shooting up, conking out for a few hours, wake up freezing so they start a fire all before the cycle repeats itself when the comedown begins. Captivating documentation as usual Dan, splendid work
You know what would be really interesting to me? I wish we could see a time lapse of how all the stuff/trash got everywhere. Like on x day John Doe came in and scattered candy wrappers and empty bottles throughout this room and the next day 3 teenage outlaws threw the furniture everywhere for whatever reason
Omg at the end when you asked if it was someone standing there I thought you were talking about the bright green thing on the other side of the closest door... I thought it was someone's sleeve standing like 2 metres from you. It's amazing how anxious this makes me when I know you obviously made it out ok. I had to pause for a second. Also I was POSITIVE for a bit that the shiny part of that blanket in the room where someone was staying most recently was the top of someone's head - like curly brown hair? Ooof what a terrifying and wonderful tour thank you so much Dan~

I know it’s been hard for you lately, our mental health is just as important as our physical. I’m glad you are doing better now and putting more of your creations on your platforms. They really do make a difference.
Why what had happened that day? How are you now?
Lol I like your deepened assertive “anybody here” voice!!!❤️
Tarrah Schuessler my husband is sleeping next to me while I watch this and he woke up when he heard that. He thought someone was in our house. 😂
Panda Panda it’s just Dan Bell babe, go back to sleep! That’s hilarious!!
If I heard that I'd think he was a cop!
I love Dan Bell videos because where else could I watch an hour of a guy whispering "What was that? Do we have company? Is someone there? What was that sound?" and then just nobody lol. But seriously, I do love these.
Sometimes when I watch these videos I feel like I’m watching a playthrough of a horror game where you are walking through the scary buildings trying to find something or find your way out. And what adds to it is how Dan sometimes touches stuff as if he’s pressing A to interact and will say a witty line
Yet again, im having one of the worst weeks.. and here you come with a 48 minute gift♡♡
Im so very thankful. Thank you thank you thank you♡
Britteny Rose; i hope things get better for you💜
The lady in the beginning is the reason I LOVE Baltimore. What a gem.
Why is it that the people living or hanging out in places like this not collecting all the items they could sell for couple of bucks? Most Real estate want the crap cleaned out.
Who would want any of this stuff? It all has a stench you can't clean away, and anything with crevices (table legs, gym equipment, those old worthless monitors, etc) likely has things living in it. Plus heroin users would probably only sell when desperate for a fix and who would feel comfortable taking money out to give them for something? Many of them are likely just in a bad place but others would be desperate enough to rob someone.
Also, that building was almost definitely abandoned by the college probably immediately. Even in perfect shape it would cost more than the building to fix, with lead paint, asbestos, and fire/safety code violations that didn't exist when first built. The best the bank or real estate company can hope for is a developer will buy it and knock it down, but even that would cost so much more money than building some abandoned row houses.
It's depressing considering Baltimore city's rich history. But it's been on a downward slope ever since people began to move for the suburbs in the 50s and 60s.
Well, I was 20 minutes in and said I was surprised the walls weren't ripped apart for copper. 22:30 has a wall that has a huge hole in it. So people already took some of the only things they could be resold.
As a former consumer of Baltimore's most sold commodity (heroin)...when you're looking for a fix you need it to feel normal yet alone appear normal lol..mostly you're looking for quick money..and a pawnshop (a reputable one anyway) would want to know where you got the items and technically, abandoned or not, taking things out amounts to theft..
Basically, it's not worth the hassle..so reusable stuff gets left to rot..its a shame..
Well on top of squatting being illegal, stealing property while trespassing is also pretty illegal. I remember Dan was lookin at a VERY 70's office chair that was in a pretty okay condition, he wanted to take it instead of having it rot or be destroyed by vandals but couldn't. It sucks because I'm the type of person to pick some furniture off the street.
It's interesting. Depending on the area, liquidation centers demand to be PAID to remove your furniture if it isn't a quality brand. Sometimes buildings just leave the furniture in since it easier to just let it sit than to find a solution to sell it off.
I love how Dan calls out, "Anyone there?" The tone is assertive, yet respectful. It conveys, "We mean you no harm, sorry if we disturbed you."
Dan's a big guy and has quite a presence. I get why he's freaked out in places, though. What happens if they encounter groups of squatters that really have nothing to lose? People, yes, but dangerous, desperate people.
Wow this episode of Another Dirty Room really goes places...
Always looking forward to more quality content from Dan Bell
If you’ve breathed the air inside this building than you’re immune to Coronavirus.
TheReal CloroxBleach granted that’s because all the other Baltimore viruses will kill the covid and jack it’s ride
Fr lol
Wow! For only being closed for five years, this place is trashed out and destroyed.
It looks like its 10 million years abandoned
Naproxen is aleve
someone said it lol THANK YOU!!
Naproxen is Motrin. It’s an anti-inflammatory.
@@icecreamforcrowhurst No, Motrin is Ibuprofen. Naproxen is Aleve.
icecreamforcrowhurst No. Naproxen is Aleve. Motrin is ibuprofen. Look at the bottle, it’s literally right on the front.
Baltimore drug den at night? You're crazy. And how about some particle masks and gloves? I wouldn't want to be breathing the dust in there or touching things with bare skin. Then again, I wouldn't be in there in the first place.
That freaking black cat must really love you guys! Obviously you can see and hear her or him meow at 17:51.
I'm literally crying from laughing so hard at the hospital bed part ahahaha
With that specific attachment, it is more like a cockspital bed.
Wow you are easily amused.Are you American?
all those computers with precious earth metals sitting there instead of getting recycled :’(
One of those boxes in that file room said payroll. I hope it doesn't have anything that should be protected in it. Reminds me that if a business goes bankrupt and I was an employee, I hope they shred my SS# and bank account info. That should be a requirement.
Kermit's last stand. *shakes vigorously* "Wake up! I'm taking you back to the swamp!" I'm done XD
Blows my mind they would leave behind those incredible science models and replicas. Those things are expensive and it’s not like they ever become obsolete. I guess it would have cost more to pack everything and take inventory than to just trash it.
“Bringing opportunityyy to the communityyyy! Sojourner Douglas Collegeee” 🎶
noo dles LMAO!!! A true Baltimorean.
I have never figured out in these places why not open for a weekend and sell off whats in there instead of letting it all rot, or give it away to someone who could use the help.
I stayed at a semi-abandoned college once on a school trip as it was cheap. They were using it as a hotel, but nothing had been renovated. It was musty, some of the heaters either wouldn't turn on, or wouldn't turn off, and there were some parts of the building that were chained off due to damage. It was really weird, but bats liked the upper floors. It was still habitable, but barely. I think the place I stayed at did become a school again, but I don't know if the residence building ever got repaired. Really creepy.
11:20 the pan up to the still-pristine picture of billie holiday made me immensely sad for some reason
Jesus, it's like Crackhead Adventures in there. Dude, you didn't take the Death Angel? That's a legendary weapon man! Not to mention the dried kermit talisman!

I was long overdue for a good dose of creepy Dan Bell! Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya.
Thought I heard a guy say, “please leave me alone,” at one point.
Btw, Naproxen Sodium is an anti inflammatory. 👍
I always have some on my dining table, just in case.

I come from the future, it still unfortunately is :(
Haha seriously, I laid in bed all day today watching these
I kept chanting "please don't go in that bathroom"
The whole place appeared to be a bathroom.
Dan: have you stayed in here before?? Random homeless lady: HELL NO!
No more copper left in that building
Dan, I saw this college years ago before it had gained too much attention to the fact that it could be accessed, right before the first fire, and it was in perfect condition, nothing like this...like everyone had just vanished.
Dan, thanks for keeping your videos about the exploration. So many other URBEX channels seem to be about putting the explorers personality on display or trying to create some sort of adventurer facade to broadcast. I really appreciate how you shoot and commentate your videos.
Urbex channel, rurex vibe.
Everywhere Dan walks sounds like he’s stepping on rice krispe’s. Everywhere.
Omg. Dan with the big balls exploring yet another sketchy place. I live vicariously through his efforts. I truly appreciate this exploration. I could never!
Also, anytime Dan asks, “Anyone there?”, my asshole clenches so tight I’m upset with myself for being so sensitive. Much love!
I bet that city is full of paranormal activity. All dark energy from poverty crime& violence.
I’d say it is! I haven’t been there in years but that’s a vibe I always remember sensing whenever I went. Even when you drive into the city on the freeway you can sense that it’s a city with a helluva story.
Imagine having a whole college + furnature to your own disposal. That joint could be ran/ organized so nicely
Unfortunately not the creepy college but a huge dumping ground of trashes, unsecured documents and litres of urine. I bet it looks more interesting from outside than inside. A real wastage of place, money and memories of former employees. What a pity.
Izabella Panorama are you a former employee?
You just described half of Baltimore unfortunately...
What used to be called "Charm City" has mostly fallen into disrepair..and I don't see anything changing in the near future.

I went here about 3 years ago and it was almost pristine.
@8:40 Those are the bottoms of cans cut to cook heroin on. You can see the cotton still in one. Those are burn marks on the table from putting the hot can down after holding the flame under it.
Dan, I would seriously consider getting a good pair of puncture proof boots or shoes for these places.
Hey Dan what's that at 27:32, it's like a black hoodie by the stairs, then you pan away and pan back and it's gone?
good catch - thats got to be someone!
Nah, Dan just stepped back and the black thing's view was blocked by the stairs, even before he pans away the black thing can't be seen anymore but it's because Dan moved himself and the camera.
@@gusrtw20 i think it's the cat, but if not it's got to be someone because it's slowly leaving/crouching down
@@gusrtw20 agreed
I saw that too and had to rewind it, creepy af!!!!
Apparently my father went to this college in his early years. I showed him this video and started crying and talking about the good times he had here. He kept pointing out things and names relating to rooms and such.
Interesting! I’d imagine it was sad for your dad to see how it is falling apart, used as a drug den, with all the junk. The upstairs is in much better shape.
40:16 “I’ll meet you downstairs, okay?” Dan, you are so full of beans in this one. I love it.
Wow, DB, those opening 45 seconds were like an 80's thriller/slasher flick. Beautiful shots! The only thing missing was an obligatory saxophone track belting out. Masterful.
“that’s a crispy frog” that’s exactly what i was thinking
Hi Dan,
I still worry about you after all these years. It always feels like someone or something will pop out around every corner. Take care my friend and stay healthy.
Your Faithful Follower,
Kathy B. 💜 Fairylady0227
Honestly, she seems like such a nice lady. I hope she's staying safe.
Can't a person just smoke rock in an abandoned discredited College without a flashlight pointed in their face!?
I’ve been binging your channel all week, so happy you posted
Jordan Weßling that’s my search engine of choice too.
Time to grab the popcorn.
DId!
I'm surprised that pelvic model was still hangin around. Medical models are expensive, so even if the school was going out of business, I would've expected someone working there to grab it, even as a souvenir.
Hey Dan, I was so eager to see a new video from you! I've just recently rewatched the famous "real life shining at 2 am" that I just love =) Greetings from France 🇫🇷❤️
Wow I remember seeing commercials for this college on my local station years ago
The state should clean up and renovate those buildings to settle the homeless.
Loved the premiere! Thank you, Dan!
Awesome video Dan Bell 💖
I enjoyed every minute of it.
Greetings from Holland 💖💖
The foot on the camera was awesome. You got balls Dan. Wouldn’t see me in there.
My sister went to the college. I remember going to class with her when I was younger. It’s so sad to see a Black establishment go to waste.
Amazing video Dan, thanks!!
That lady in the beginning was quite the character, I hope she's doing okay
19:23 Kermit's Last Stand 🤣
Yhe heroin room with the blue couch is just meleancholic. i picture them shooting up, conking out for a few hours, wake up freezing so they start a fire all before the cycle repeats itself when the comedown begins. Captivating documentation as usual Dan, splendid work
You know what would be really interesting to me? I wish we could see a time lapse of how all the stuff/trash got everywhere. Like on x day John Doe came in and scattered candy wrappers and empty bottles throughout this room and the next day 3 teenage outlaws threw the furniture everywhere for whatever reason
Cool idea.
Another great video. Keep up the awesome work Dan!
This is just what I needed! Thank you Dan 🙌♥️
New game : Take a shot of liquor every time Dan asks “Anyone there?”
Tell me if you survived.
Omg at the end when you asked if it was someone standing there I thought you were talking about the bright green thing on the other side of the closest door... I thought it was someone's sleeve standing like 2 metres from you. It's amazing how anxious this makes me when I know you obviously made it out ok. I had to pause for a second. Also I was POSITIVE for a bit that the shiny part of that blanket in the room where someone was staying most recently was the top of someone's head - like curly brown hair? Ooof what a terrifying and wonderful tour thank you so much Dan~
Another brilliant video, thanks Dan!
Genuinely, thank you for making amazing content. I'm so happy I found your channel. You're awesome! Please keep up the incredible work and stay safe!
