I’m confused as to why you’d spend all this money on a dorm room when you could just live off-campus at a nicer place with that money. I’d rather not have all this tech while stuffed into a closet with another person...
That’s a good point. Unfortunately, as a freshman I’m required to live on campus. It’s just the way it is at Carnegie Mellon. Still, I was very happy grateful for the size of the room and I had no complaints.
Snipper MM you can easily sue the school for that I’m in college they don’t let you move anything or loft your bed like he has it you have to file a request so they do it properly
Your right it is a bit packed. But when you live in such a small space you have to condense things a bit. I did try my best to keep things organized even if it was a bit tight.
If you want it to look more spacious you should make ot whit with a hint of a bright color like yellow or neon yellow any bright color aswell as add mor natural light that's it😊
Really amazing set up! I am also a CMU student and I love how you optimized the room so much. Definitely struggled with space my freshmen year in Donner.
I've always been into high-tech stuff. I especially want to learn how to get my lights turned off without actually using the switch (lazy status, what can I say lol). Seriously, I'm moving into a new apartment soon for college and would love to have some stuff like this! Is there a video where you go into deep detail about each individual tech piece? Would love to see it and learn!
I’m in the process of marking some more detailed videos but if you just want to turn lights on and off with your voice or a phone, all you need is a Phillips hue starter kit and an Amazon Alexa.
Im a senior rn in HS and watching this just got me so hyped for college next year. I'll be rooming with my 3 best friends and we all get our own bedroom and bathroom which is lit. I can just see all the memories we'll have, im going to deck out my room so much lol
Max sharing a place with your friends sounds nice but remember to establish rules like cleaning,food,and what time everyone gets home like you don’t want to live in a shithole or your friends to eat your food or you be asleep and they get there at 4am so just talk about everything
Nice setup. Pro tip: you said the word "actually" about 48 times in this video. Pro Tip 2: I'm not an electrician but I don't know if it's wise to have 40 things plugged into 2 outlets :-)
Thanks. Yeah I realized I said that a lot. Lol. Also it probably wasn’t safe but when you had like 4 outlets to share between 2 people you don’t really have a lot of choices.
The setup is really cool I love how the cables are messy. The monitor is awesome and I see how elegant the mac book is angled. Sorry if my language is off I don't speak English.
this mans has a prs. that's so cool. also are you ever worried about having your computers stolen? or are both of you good about making sure your door is always locked when you leave?
Ben Boxer I'd love to buy one but I don't have $3000 for a usa custom. And I really want to bring my PC to college this fall but I was a little worried about it getting stolen.
Gotta say dude, First impressions this is a sweet dorm. Like as a person I would consider myself a geek and this just makes my heart ache to just buy all of it and recreate this. And you defiantly have a carrier in setting up smart homes. That being said, I do have some constructive criticism. You made a comment in the beginning saying that this took months to put together. If by months you mean to plan and buy the stuff required and it took like a week of actually building it in the room, then great job and good luck in college and moving all this stuff. But, if my months you mean it took months into the semester to put it together because of the sear amount of tech and all you need to re-prioritize how you spend your time. A dorm set up ,even a tech one, should take a day to a few days to put together and the summer to buy all the stuff. This is because, you have to take that stuff down in a few months and store it and everything. If the college you are going at is one where you can stay in the same dorm for your first x years then this is great. But if it's not then this isn't worth it because just undoing the cabling alone for this is going to be horrible. Don't get me wrong, I think your awesome for even completing this. If you are still in your first year, you might consider in the future getting off-campus housing for a project like this. it would 1, give you more space to put all this, and 2, you could have it part of the lease that you stay year around and you would not have to take all this stuff down and 3, you would not have to worry about people stealing all this stuff. Now I get that you have a camera but, it is to easy for someone to just use a mask hoodie gloves and idk pantyhose or something walk into your room quickly and kill the camera. then stuff all the stuff into a cooler or bag or something and boom all your stuff is gone and all you have is footage of someone with no skin color or face grabbing your camera. or if you didn't put all this smart stuff one your own network branching off from the schools wifi then someone could hack this and turn the camera off or make it where it doesn't record. I mean you might have cameras in the hall but good luck proving it was them who stole stuff if they get like 3 buddies to go in 15 mins each and then they are the ones who steal stuff and they all walked out with a bag or cooler or something. Ok, I'm done with my essay on this video. I hope you think on some of what I said and not skip it and consider it hate. It's not I just want you to one be careful with all of this expensive equipment and 2 find a way to take this wonderful skill and use it to make money for you. seriously their are some people who would pay good money for you to setup their home like this. All in all, cool project, this was my first video of yours and I intend to subscribe to see where this goes.
Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate detailed comments like these. To answer your concerns, 1.) the “months” of setup mainly involved the pre-planning and figuring out what I’d need to be able to setup all the smart things. It took less than a week to plug everything in and wire it all up and when it was time to move out, I did it all in less than 24 hours. Also regarding the theft, yes you are right that a camera can’t prevent a theft. That’s more so for a peace-of-mind thing to see if any friends break or tamper with stuff. I usually don’t worry about theft as the rooms automatically lock and require an ID card and pin to enter, which only me and my roommate have. It would be quite difficult for someone to just walk in and steal stuff since the room is only open when me or my roommate are inside and the entire dorm itself is only accessible to students who are registered tenants. And regarding the hacking, I’m no expert at that but all the WiFi connected devices are password protected so gaining access is definitely a challenge, but probably not impossible.
I’m really glad you liked it! You subscribed at a good time too. Lots of new videos coming out soon as I’m ramping up production now that I am out of school for the summer.
People in the comments hating because their dorm probably looks so boring and they're jealous LMFAO 😂😂 don't listen to them I think it looks dope as hell!!
Ben Boxer Thank YOU for posting this video! I'm about to go to college in a couple days and I'm also a gamer so this is some really cool dorm room inspiration 😁
It was just a cheap $10 webcam from amazon. Plugged it into my laptop and downloaded a free piece of software called AtHome Video Streamer to monitor the feed from my phone.
El Lapiz Its called working. I only worked two summers in college and made around 10k. Its not hard if you dont play the victim card 24/7. I paid for all of my pc setup. Maybe you should try working some.
Silly question, but does the school/RA let you modify the room like with your hanging pictures and stuff? like basically my question is do they mind if you make a hole in the wall for a nail to hang a picture or modify the room in that way
Tommy Yanovich We are not allowed to damage the wall (such as puncturing the wall with a nail) but we are allowed to tape stuff to the wall. So everything I hung up was attached using command hooks and strips that removed cleanly at the end of the year.
Matthew Nichols so usually girls don’t walk into your dorm and say wow so much cool tech why don’t you come in me. It goes more like “wow he’s a weirdo”
Thanks now I know what dorm is worth robbing
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You would not want to rob a smart room because they always have nest or ring cameras

Radwan Jama who are you talking to
Moving out after fall would be HELL.
It wasn’t too bad. I made a whole move out vlog on my channel if you are interested

When your dorm setup cost more than tuition 🤔
"School supplies in this drawer" opens drawer with 50 nunchucks
He never said what kind of school he attends
I came down here just for this
Dont worry those Guns dont have any bullets in them _anymore_
i dont think that your school appreciates the electricity bill.
Exotic Fergu ツ college is expensive so he’s getting the most out of it
Bleachy college is free in Denmark, and we get paid to go :)
Caynn bruh we dont even have college
6 9 then it’s free for you too. Just in a different way.
Caynn yeah i guess so.
Wow. Im still in High school and im already wondering how my dorm room will look like. Probably a bed made of rocks, a typewriter, and a radio.
😂
That sounds like the life
Anonymous Gamer Lmaoooooo
You buy the typewriter and radio and you're not far off. Dorm mattresses are the worst
I have a room tour title for you: My room from the 19 hundreds lol
I’m confused as to why you’d spend all this money on a dorm room when you could just live off-campus at a nicer place with that money. I’d rather not have all this tech while stuffed into a closet with another person...
That’s a good point. Unfortunately, as a freshman I’m required to live on campus. It’s just the way it is at Carnegie Mellon. Still, I was very happy grateful for the size of the room and I had no complaints.
This dorm is actually big compared to others I've seen.
I pretty sure Ben was just show casing his ingenuity and organizational skill. Keep up the good work bro
But dad
My sister wanted to go to school at UCLA the dorms were cheaper than apartments in the area
How not to get laid in college

Hahahahahahah actually
HAHAHAHAHHA couldnt have said it better my self/

Nah girls are all into ambient lights, he's chillin 👌🏼
when you get roomed with a tech reviewer in collage
must be one hell of an electric bill
ThermaL1102 nah his lights are LEDS they’re energy efficient
Benefit of dorms: no utility billz
Stupid no bills that's what's dorm is
Mrglue Gtick Stupid he meant for the university
3RICK_4BUND1S proove it then ? What is compared to thousands or hundreds of other rooms
That room probably takes up half the buildings electrical bill
definitely no girls have ever stopped foot in that room
I have and I'm a girl. His room is amazing :D
going his to play fortnite duos don't count b
asians dont count aswell..
.......
Eileen Mao i think he means it in a more sexual sense rather than literal. Unless thats what you mean
can’t even fully decorate my room at my 2-year contract apartment because i think “shit, i’m moving in xx months”
cool room tho
Imagine if his bed breaks and he falls on his entire setup
That would be bad
I really admire the creativity and effort you put into setting up your dorm, especially the smart home system thing.
Thank you so much!
doesnt look like hes doing schoolwork
Lol.
These kids are half cyber now , connected into the grid from the time they can walk. We re dinosaurs now 🙄

What if the bed falls and all of ur tech goes "bye bye."
Snipper MM you can easily sue the school for that I’m in college they don’t let you move anything or loft your bed like he has it you have to file a request so they do it properly
Lol
How long does it take for him to pack this up
I did it all in 24 hours. I made a move out vlog if you are interested.
I love all the tech but damn there is too much stuff in that dorm room. How you keep all the shit clean?
Your right it is a bit packed. But when you live in such a small space you have to condense things a bit. I did try my best to keep things organized even if it was a bit tight.
If you want it to look more spacious you should make ot whit with a hint of a bright color like yellow or neon yellow any bright color aswell as add mor natural light that's it😊
Levante Hardy how to keep things clean put team back when your done duh!!!
@@BenBoxer you replied two months already and I missed it. I love your room though plus you are cute :)

Thank you for the subscription Ryan! And I’m glad you liked the room. What dorm are you in this year?
I'm gonna be in Roselawn!
Sweet dorm room! I'll definitely take inspiration from this video for some parts of my dorm in a month!
I like how he even taught us to kerp things neat and tidy. Good video
This was actually a really good tour. Many very unique options and ways of setting certain things up. Keep creating dude, this was awesome.

It's not only that I'm looking to install. However, I'm not the best at installing things😂😂 I have quite a lot to learn..
Bro this thing is amazing I barely have enough money to buy one philips hue
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the setup.
same lmao
I dont have enough money to buy a phillips hue
Im a senior rn in HS and watching this just got me so hyped for college next year. I'll be rooming with my 3 best friends and we all get our own bedroom and bathroom which is lit. I can just see all the memories we'll have, im going to deck out my room so much lol

And so kids, This is the whole reason school WiFi is so bad, some nerd playing with his Smart Dorm Room.
Loved the video!
That looks so dope, I’m moving into a dorm next year for uni, this video got me excited.
That cable management😂
My philosophy is that if you can’t see the cables, then they don’t have to be neat. 😂
@Ben Boxer I guess your right👌😂😂
Crazy how so many people HAVE to find a problem with everything they see. Anyway love the room man!
Thank you so much!
cause they jelly
Just amazingly decorated tech room, I like your way very much.
Wow dude, I didnt know that the first thing u do is turn on the lights when u come in the room
I've been thinking of putting my setup under my double-decker, this made it possible. Guess I'll be making it too :)
Nice setup. Pro tip: you said the word "actually" about 48 times in this video. Pro Tip 2: I'm not an electrician but I don't know if it's wise to have 40 things plugged into 2 outlets :-)

That intro song. Holy heck. The bass was insane.
Lovely, well-thought out (both the room and the really well-organized storyboard) video. I'm impressed.
Thank you so much!
this is sick, definitely getting inspired for my freshman year in 2 months
Yeah man! Good luck with the start of school! Where will you be going?

Can you imagine him fall through the bed down to all the stuff under it😂
That was a recurring nightmare. Lol

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the video.
Man this is dope af!
Thank you Javian!
I was initially gonna hate but honestly I can only find this impressive. I can tell you’re passionate about technology!
That would be so fun and just take a brake from schoolwork just to play video games with you friends at collage.
Yup, that’s why I loved it!

Its more fun to party than play video games at college
@@am157 that's how you get diseases from ratchet college girls

I already did. I made a move out vlog on my channel about it. It was quite a big process
Great dorm to break into :)

The setup is really cool I love how the cables are messy. The monitor is awesome and I see how elegant the mac book is angled. Sorry if my language is off I don't speak English.
Thank you! I’ll work on my cables for the future
looks professional
Thank you so much!
dude get out of your room party a bit

Yes we did.
did you guys have to pay any fee because my school wants us to pay a fee to loft our beds lmao
Why does everyone think this keeps him from getting laid?

Are you serious?
