Dorm Room Overview: Thomas Hall, LeTourneau University

A somewhat in-depth look at what you're getting when you move into a dorm room in Thomas Hall at Letourneau University. Please excuse the mess, I didn't clean up before this video.

I was in that room for a semester. Loved being right around the corner from the stairwell.

[@Nomunbileg]

Can you talk about the school more?

[@Lizlodude]

Thanks for the awesome video, saved me another trip up there :D. Question, where are the ethernet ports located, and any chance of a speedtest? One of those things no one ever seems to include.

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Two ports per room, usually one on each side of the window. I'm actually in Houston right now, so I can't run one at the moment, but depending on what time of day, you can get around 10mbs

[@Lizlodude]

Cool, thanks. Comp/Sci Engineering so internet's important :)

Hey, I'm considering applying to letu for the professional pilot program and I was wondering if you can please film a video entitled "a day in the life of..." just to show a glimpse of what your day consists of as a student pilot

[@matthewjohnson2316]

That's a great idea! My video making skills are sub par at best, but I'll see if I can find the time to throw something together. I'm also a Student Ambassador here, so I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have or set up a phone or skype call if you want to learn a bit more about what we do here from a current student. Message me if this interests you.

Are the beds twins or extra long twins?

[@Lizlodude]

Couple questions about the desk, sorry it's so late in the year. Is there a lip on the back of the desk that you could put a clamp on, and how sturdy is that metal bar your laptop power brick is strapped to? Also, do the shelves beside the desk have backs on them? Thanks.

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Lizlodude there is not a lip on the back, the metal bar is steel and is meant to be the main method of strength and stability for the bed, so it's plenty strong, and the shelves have a back and are very deep.

So Davis Hall is pretty much the same layout as this? And any advice for those going to LETU?

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Lindsey Greene Davis Hall is very similar. Like Thomas, it has two or three different layouts of basically the same square footage. Davis does have carpet though and the bookshelves are not quite as deep.

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Lindsey Greene Also, as far as advice, work on time management now. LETU is not an easy school. It's a great education, but it is not an easy one.

[@MCHIBullDog]

I'm coming to LETU this fall (Pro Flight major), I'm fairly certain I'm going to get Thomas Hall but nothing is for sure yet. Maybe we can get together and squad up on War Thunder!

[@matthewjohnson2316]

MCHIBullDog were you just here for the preview yesterday?

[@MCHIBullDog]

Matthew Johnson Yes I was, were you at the Abbott Center?

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Ok, I probably met you then. I was helping Owen give the tour if you were on that

[@MCHIBullDog]

Matthew Johnson I'm not sure if I was in that group, there were several

[@1993arni1]

Hey guys I’m planning to enroll at LETU.. i planning to take aviation management pilot concentration how do i get started?

[@manuradesilva3022]

Do you share the room or one room per student. How are students allocated room's when they first come.

[@matthewjohnson2316]

Unless you pay an extra fee, you will be with a roommate. When you fill out your housing application, there will be a biography section with a variety of questions and written bio section. They will pair you up with someone with a similar bio. Most of them work out fairly well, I was an unusual case and did not get along with my first roommate very well at all, but I got a new one second semester and we worked out very well. I'm not sure if incoming freshmen have the option to have single rooms or not, but they are bottom on the priority list (priority for rooms, roomates, single rooms, apartments, etc. all go up with age. i.e. A senior going into their last semester takes priority over a sophomore.)

[@dwaynenguyen25]

hi I'm coming to Letu and I would like to know if you guys have a problem sharing bathroom? like how you guys take turn to use the bathroom thanks

[@matthewjohnson2316]

It's really not a problem at all, simply leave the door open if the bathroom is open, if somebody is showering, just knock, as long as they aren't getting in or out, go ahead is usually what we do. Each set of room and suite mates is different, but I barely ever see my suite mate and my roommate is super respectful and easy to live with, so that makes the logistical aspects of life easy.
