[@arianahope8917]

Your videos are really inspiring for others and I enjoy watching the tipsy give!

[@cameron355]

When you choose your room, do you get to pick the exact room and floor or do you just pick which building?

[@juliasurface]

Cameron you get to choose your exact room and floor :)

[@sandyslifestyle8149]

Super helpful for new graduates, I didn’t know any of this! 😳 Also, you hair is super cute! 😍

[@briannagroce]

Julia Surface I’m gonna try to get in magnolia for my housing because I watched your tour of it and your dorm and it looks really nice... if I can’t get in there I’ll do either Brown or orange. 😊

[@juliasurface]

Brianna Groce thats awesome!!! They’re all great choices :) can’t go wrong!

[@KaliAlexandria]

Your braids are so cute! I just finished college but I need to show this to my cousin!

[@juliasurface]

Kali Alexandria thank you!!!! I appreciate you sharing my video :)

[@AngieFlippi]

this is so helpful! i know how stressful it could be to choose the perfect housing in college!

[@juliasurface]

Angie Flippi thank you!

[@doodledoomoo]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I’m a freshman commuter but I’m planning to live at dorms next year. Any idea on how to apply for next year?

[@juliasurface]

You apply for on campus housing through UTK’s housing portal!!! Current students in past years select housing in February; however, things could have changed. Hope this helps!!!

[@teaganking235]

loved this video! Two of my cousins go to UTK and they love it!

[@issyking_]

Ahh I love your braids, so cuteee!! New sub xo

[@NatalieGisselle]

This seems like a fun experience to have when going to university, but I'm going to one close by home so I don't think it would be necessary, also I haven't looking much into it to see if they offer housing lol. This video is very helpful for all the seniors getting ready to go off to college!

[@juliasurface]

Natalie Gisselle that’s awesome!!! I’m a homebody, so going two hours away from home was my max!

[@Amanzzie]

off topic but i love your hair so much!! it’s so pretty

[@juliasurface]

Amanzzie thank you!!!! So sweet of you!

[@maggiefontenot4589]

When you choose your exact room how can you tell whether the room is in a good spot? Like whether the window has a good view or if you're too close to the laundry room or bathroom.

[@juliasurface]

Maggie Fontenot hi! Unfortunately, when I chose housing at least, you could not see a diagram of where each room was located. It’s just kind of a guessing game. You won’t know where your room is and what position the window is in until you get there from my past experience. Most laundry rooms are in a separate space from dorm rooms, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that!

[@maggiefontenot4589]

Julia Surface okay, thank you!

[@oliviajogever]

This was so informative!! & useful for planning for future plans

[@sydneyissa1879]

Do you know when the freshman are going to be choosing their dorms this year and what the housing windows are going to look like.

[@juliasurface]

Sydney Issa hi! When I made this video, I was assuming that May 1st was still the last day to make a deposit to enroll in the university as usual. Because of the corona virus, my understanding is the university backed dates to enroll until June meaning housing will most likely be chosen sometime in June. I don’t know anything about the housing windows at all for this year, but hopefully university housing should be giving you a housing window soon in an email!!!

[@ashikanadella175]

how does the buyout process work? do we still have to choose a roommate for it despite wanting to be single?

[@juliasurface]

Ashika Nadella I believe that buying out a room is a thing, but I do not know how that process works or how much it costs. I would contact housing as soon as possible to find out the information you need!!!

[@JasaiM]

What's your major? I'm headed to UTK in the fall for music

[@juliasurface]

Jasai Mckinney Productions I’m currently an exploratory major, but I am in the process of moving to the business college. That’s so cool!!! Welcome to Rocky Top!

[@malaikakanthnallabantu6038]

Hello! i'm an incoming freshman at UTK and this video was super helpful. My housing time slot is on 7/1. I really hope there are some nice rooms left. Also I have a question.... what do I need to bring for moving day? Is a bed provided? please let me know.

[@juliasurface]

welcome to UTK!!! For moving day, just bring everything you want to have in your dorm room! The bed, a dresser, bed side table, and desk are provided pieces of furniture! In addition, your dorm room also comes with a mini fridge and microwave

[@malaikakanthnallabantu6038]

@@juliasurface Thank you!!!

[@Thebeautygymnasts]

So if your roommate has an earlier time slot and they sign you up for a room do you need to do anything or do they automatically pull you in if you put in each other’s housing numbers

[@juliasurface]

Leanne H last year we used a different housing software than this year, but yes. My roommate chose our room, and I didn’t have to do anything else. I would maybe verify that with housing though just to be sure!

[@kaciethach4303]

So I know you can guarantee your roommate by their roommate number be is there a way to pick who your suitemates are?

[@juliasurface]

Unfortunately no :( But most people really like their suite mates despite them being random! The only thing you share is a toilet and shower

[@RelativeSpaceMusic]

Cool! Thanks si much

[@cameron355]

Do they separate genders in that dorm? If so do they separate by floor or how does that work?

[@juliasurface]

Cameron All the dorms at UTK are separated by gender. Girls and guys can live on the same floor, but they live on different sides of the dorm. It’s hard to explain, so feel free to watch my Magnolia Hall Tour to get a visual of what I am saying! :)

the sarah xox I am so glad this is helpful!!! Thank you for watching :))

[@ashikanadella175]

Also, how do we get an earlier housing window?

[@juliasurface]

Ashika Nadella housing windows are based off of when you signed your housing contract with the university!!

[@ashikanadella175]

@@juliasurface then when is the approximate deadline for the housing contract??

[@juliasurface]

Ashika Nadella I’m not sure for this year because I heard that deciding to go to UTK has been pushed back to June 1st. I feel like last year the deadline was May 1st, which is typically college decision day, but I’m not 100% sure
