I'm going to EDC that is near the SIU collage, I'm watching this to see what's it like living with other people.

[@bonniepritchard4249]

Is this Thompson Point.......I lived in a 2-person room back in the '70s. There were 3-person rooms at the end of the hall on each of three floors. Loved living at Thompson point overlooking the lake. Only issue was no A.C. which usually wasn't needed. Great video

[@MackenzieMarie]

Yes this is and yes we still have the triples. I made another video of me living in one.

[@heatherbezold6644]

I'll be at SIU Fall 2020, I can't wait!

[@MackenzieMarie]

Can’t wait to see you!

[@aribarie5388]

See yall there!

[@CasualDonut]

It's a beautiful school

[@willywonka6242]

Fellow Saluki spring 11. I lived in boomer before they tore it down. I loved dorm Living

[@MackenzieMarie]

Oh wow I’ve never heard of boomer. Which side of campus was that on?

[@willywonka6242]

Mackenzie Marie university park. In front of true blood. When I left I heard they were tearing it down. It was little building next to the towers

[@ProudFelon]

Nice 🤙🏼

[@MackenzieMarie]

Thanks!

[@TherealFaith0310]

i’ll be there next year!!

[@MackenzieMarie]

Yayyyy! Congrats!

[@TherealFaith0310]

thank you❤️

[@daidrianagiles2292]

Exclusive Faith i’ll be there too! what are you studying ?

[@toothfairygaming8303]

Lol always saw you at Lentz dining hall, I was a fall 2k19 transfer. Quick question what camera are you using

[@MackenzieMarie]

Oh wow that’s so funny. And i’m using a Canon Powershot sx 750 hs.

[@hannahisabella828]

Is this was all of the dorms usually look like or was yours special? I am attending next year and I just wasn’t expecting a shower in the rooms, that’s so amazing!

[@MackenzieMarie]

Every dorm has showers within the room except for university hall on east campus. My room specifically is a Triple which is two rooms combined with a bathroom/shower in the middle. I have made another video where there are two separated that share a bathroom which is a bit smaller but still very nice. I posted it a her before this one for reference.

[@jennanicole8206]

I'm going to SIU next year! Which dorms do you recommend more, the towers or Thompson point? I'm looking for a social environment, but I'm not sure where to go!

[@MackenzieMarie]

I have only been on west campus and I am actually going to east campus this upcoming fall. Both are great but the towers are a little far. If I were you I’d find the buildings where your classes are and compare the distance and see if it’s worth it. But I’ve heard good things about both. And both sides have a dining hall!

[@CasualDonut]

Personally I found lentz to be the better dining hall over true blood. I lived in the towers and liked it a lot because the washers and dryers are on the same floor (every floor at the towers has 2 washers and dryers) I also found the towers rooms to be larger in appearance and the sun sets from the 16th floor was awesome

[@jenniferweedman5334]

Just so you know, in the 1980s the room you live in housed 4 people, not three. Two girls lived in the front room and two in the back. It was fun, but cramped! Times have changed for the better!

[@MackenzieMarie]

yeah i heard about that when siu was at its peak. i can’t imagine, it’s cluttered with three

[@0g.gabby02]

I’m going to SIU this fall! So I plan on staying in the west campus, do they have rooms with two rooms and one bathroom? If so which floor is it on?

[@MackenzieMarie]

Every room on west campus is either a double or triple. A double is a room on each side connected by a bathroom in the middle. And a triple is one long room that has a bathroom inside. I have a couple videos on my channel touring both of them to give you a better visual.

[@ShadowSix_]

I'm a freshman going into SIU for 2021 at Wall & Grand housing. Pretty sure I'd have to bring my own TV right?

[@MackenzieMarie]

Yes you do :)

[@ShadowSix_]

Thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks!

[@MackenzieMarie]

No problem. You are going to love it there.

[@tiyzhanewilliamson4159]

I'm kinda confused on the suite life. Students get their own room, but do they still share a bathroom? And is that "suite" the double room that you showed in your other video?

[@MackenzieMarie]

The suite life situation allows you to have one of the double rooms to yourself. The double room is the dorm that has two rooms shared by a bathroom (my first and second dorm tour video is a double room). It use to be two people would share a room and four people would share a bathroom. Now it’s one person per room and two share a bathroom. My latest dorm tour was a triple. That room you will live in with another person unless no one else contracts in that room. But there is a possibility of getting a roommate in the triple. You can also choose to have a roommate in the double but because of the virus i’m not sure if that will be an option.

[@tiyzhanewilliamson4159]

@@MackenzieMarie Oooooh okay! I came from MSU where they had community showers and things like that so this "suite life" is new to me. I wonder how they may do things now with the virus too. Thank you for your reply though!

[@MackenzieMarie]

Yeah everything is still up in the air and no problem 🥰🥰

[@fatimahernandez1322]

i’m thinking of attending siu next year, because of covid do students have a room to their selfs? or are roommates still required

[@MackenzieMarie]

I actually made another video on this in the past but yes you will have your own room and share a bathroom with one other student.

[@sofiac.2722]

@@MackenzieMarie Hi girl! Loved your video. Im applying to the Chancellors Scholarship as a finalist, any advice? Or have you heard about it? Thanks!! 🥰

[@MackenzieMarie]

Hi, thank you very much and CONGRATS! I have heard of it and have a lot of friends who are apart of it. Definitely be yourself and be confident!

[@UNF4lR]

Have u experience racism at this school? I want to go here but I don't wanna go if it's like hella bad

[@MackenzieMarie]

Personally I have never. I think SIU use to have issues regarding racism but when i was a student there I had no problems.

[@anastasiarodriguez8630]

you have so much stuff😭! How do you move it from dorm to dorm every year 😭

[@MackenzieMarie]

It’s not as much as it looks but usually each summer I rent a storage unit with some friends and leave the majority of it there over summer. And then I take the stuff I need for the summer with me when I leave.

[@anastasiarodriguez8630]

@@MackenzieMarie I got my acceptance email from siuc today so i’m soo overwhelmed with the whole dorming thing and what to bring but that’s so smart !

[@MackenzieMarie]

Congrats!! That’s such a big accomplishment. And don’t worry it’s normal to be overwhelmed at first but you’ll be ok!

[@avinashvundemodalu5628]

Could you tell me the tution fees for masters duration 0f 18 months ?

[@MackenzieMarie]

Hey! Unfortunately I don’t know those prices as I only went to SIU as an undergrad. But you should be able to call the department of your desired program and they could give you that information.

[@leximueller1054]

what hall was this triple room in??

[@MackenzieMarie]

Hey Lexi, all triple rooms are located on west campus. Each building has 6 triple rooms but I think only four are available to all students. The remaining two in each building are reserved for disabled students. (located on the first floor of each building) :)

[@aniyahoggan2463]

Danggg you room is perfect 😭 can a freshman have this room ??

[@MackenzieMarie]

Omg thank you 😂😂 And yes you can but there are possibilities you will have a roommate because it’s meant for three people.

[@MackenzieMarie]

It is called a Triple and they are only on west campus, 4 per dorm!

[@humorly1]

@@MackenzieMarie why did u have the room to urself? bc of covid? on my new student orientation mail, it said that we will all room alone this year, have you heard anything of that? thinking it may affect whether they put 3 people in a room still or not

[@MackenzieMarie]

I originally had a roommate but she moved out and no one moved in after that. And yes everyone gets their own room but will most likely share a bathroom with the person on the other side (suitemate). The triples however from the last I heard there can still be two people in it (instead of the normal three) but there’s no guarantee if someone will reserve that room or not.

[@humorly1]

@@MackenzieMarie thank you for answering all my questions as a transfer student!!😊💕

[@nicholasdean3467]

SIU doesn't require roommates?

[@MackenzieMarie]

No they do not

[@JINSEOK3716]

Shouldn't there be another roommate in dorms?

[@MackenzieMarie]

SIU implemented a new policy where you did not need to have a roommate in a traditional double room and only one roommate in a traditional triple room.

[@JINSEOK3716]

@@MackenzieMarie oh wow, thats really cool. I just got accepted into siu recently and was worried about the roommate things. Thank you.

[@MackenzieMarie]

I completely understand 😂 It’s really nice to have your own room. And congratulations on your acceptance!

[@darianchess]

Is it fun?

[@MackenzieMarie]

SIU is a lot of fun. There’s always something going on.

[@darianchess]

@@MackenzieMarie SIU or niu

[@mylamichelle6099]

How did you get a triple by yourself?

[@MackenzieMarie]

I had a roommate originally but she moved out so i got it to myself. And most people don’t move around after they’ve settled in.
