What's happening guys, my name is Nick che I'm a freshman here at Princeton University studying economics
and today I'm gonna give you guys a dorm room tour and show you guys how I'm using tech to you know spice up my
Room keep things cool keep it interesting
Also, make sure you guys stick around to the end because I have some very exciting news
All right
So first off how Princeton dorming works is your freshman year when you come in you're assigned one of six residential colleges
There's Whitman rocky Mattie Butler Ford's and Wilson. And a lot of people say it's the nicest one
It's the most newly renovated the dorms are really nice
The hallways are really clean compared to other residential colleges that have been around for so long
So in Whitman, I'm in a quad meaning that there's four of us in one room
well
essentially
we have
Two bedrooms and one common room meaning that I have a roommate and then the other two people in my quad and we share a common room
luckily, I get along really well with my roommates, you know, we always have friends over we have, you know, similar friend groups
Which makes it really easy for this common room to be just a place to relax
So first off we have this futon that we got from Amazon, I think for around like a hundred bucks
But split between the four of us
It's super convenient when you're trying to watch a movie or your friends from out of town are staying it's just another bed
That people can sleep on it's not like super comfy
But it does the job. Behind me
I have my
Photos that I printed out on campus and just have them hung up there
Speaking of if you guys are interested in buying some of these prints leave a comment down below
I'm considering opening up a shop for that. Next up, we have our refrigerator. One of my roommates brought this with him
I definitely think it's a College essential
I couldn't imagine not having a refrigerator just because you know
We have drinks in there left overs food snacks just like it's a very convenient place to store your food
So it doesn't go bad
I personally like having a protein shake so I have a blender which I use and then just buy some frozen fruit ice
You know milk which is all located at the convenience store on campus. All right, next up
We have a TV and a TV stand and I don't know the exact dimensions. It's not terribly big. It's not terribly small
I think it does a job for what we want what it's just like to watch a movie or hang out or watching Netflix
It's one of the Roku TVs meaning that there's already Netflix on it, which is super convenient
I also brought my xbox from back home. So every now and then we'll play some call of duty
All right. Now Princeton desks are pretty standard all across campus meaning that, you know, everyone has the same desk
Everyone has the same chair. So if you don't know I'm a photographer and videographer
Meaning that I just have a lot of gear in general whether it's camera gear or monitors or like editing stuff
So first off on my desk, I bought a second HP monitor right when I got here. It's not like crazy expensive
I think it was around like a hundred hundred fifty bucks, but it's super convenient when I'm editing
I can just plug that right in and then I have a second screen if I need another window open
I also have this headphone stand for my beats, which I like to just keep there when I'm editing a fan
I have this a typical desk lamp also some photos hanging up and then to my
Left I have just my wall of hats. All right in the pullout drawers
That's just where I keep a lot of my miscellaneous stuff
You know pencils pens batteries cables anything that I don't want out in public and in my pull-out desk
I have a magic trackpad and then an Apple keyboard and then a chi mini and to the right of my desk
This is the bookshelf that I had to buy it wasn't included on the top shelf
I have a charging dock for my Apple watch in my iPhone right next to that
I have my Amazon echo dot which is super convenient. If you guys know have an Amazon echo yet
I highly recommend you get one
They're super affordable right now and it's just completely changed the way I've you know, listen to music or you know
Call people or make texts. It's not even being lazy. It's more. So just that it's so convenient
I wake up every morning and I say Alexa, what's the weather like today? And she'll say
Alexa play Drake
Playing songs by Drake from Spotify
That's up pair of bluetooth I
Also have it paired to my Harman Kardon speaker, this is a really great speaker has amazing sound
It has really a solid base right below that I kind of had this camera shelf where I just keep
Some extra equipment that I don't need in my backpack right away
So it's my Canon film camera my polaroid some extra lenses things that just aren't being used in the daily
But are still good to have as a photographer and then other than that are just some books that I want to read
Just miss laser equipment there now moving on to my bedroom. This is pretty standard size for Princeton
They're not crazy big and they're not crazy small. Luckily. I think it's a good size for two people. The closets are pretty standard
I wish there was just a little bit more room because I tend to have a lot of clothes and then I just bought like
this coat rack where I hang up a lot of my coats during the winter the Swami R which is super convenient and on my
Dresser, I just have things that I use every day to get ready
So my deodorant Cologne lotion things like that that's swinging from the walls. I have these really nice light bulbs
They're a little bit bigger than just your standard Christmas lights. And I think they gave moth is really warm glow
It's just a lot more relaxing and homey feeling than the standard lights that they come with then on the side of my wall
I have more Polaroids I use the Instax wide
which
Captures them this way and it's super convenient me the bigger Polaroids compared to the smaller ones that people usually have just some miscellaneous things
are around the room we have the string of
LED lights that can change color. These are great for parties or when friends come over or you're watching a movie
It just totally sets the mood. You could get it to change colors everything which is super cool. These are on Amazon
It's like 20 bucks
I definitely recommend if you're a college student just to give it that
You know college vibe now when it comes to like making your own food and snacks
we have a lot of cabinets and drawers that we just kind of fill up with like plates or napkins or chips that we just
restock when necessary I also have these shelves which I like to keep my cuffs and utensils and
anything else
I might need to you know, make a smoothie or you know, heat up some food or whatever above's TV
We have this really really big whiteboard because my roommates are good science majors
They like to do a lot of their homework, you know in writing on the board so they can see it. It's overall
That's just kind of a dorm room tour of an average room at Princeton
I wouldn't say that. This is the best room here or the worst room
I just think it's very great for freshman year when you're just getting acclimated next year
I am going to be moving to a double but luckily there's two separate rooms
So that's gonna be super convenient, you know, the biggest thing about a dorm room is that essentially it's your home away from home
It's where you do all of your sleeping. It's ready to do some of your work
It's where you come to just relax and get away from the stress of college
Meaning that you don't have to make it feel like home. You don't have to put up decorations
Do things to your desk that make it personal to you?
that way you just kind of have this like
Refuge when you know stress from school is getting too much and you can just come back to your room and relax
I know a lot of guys were asking me to make this video
