Field notes
After signing in with a UT NetID, students are connected to roommates, an RA group, and their building; room chat is available once a room is confirmed. The page lists RA notices, sign-ups and polls, a building news board, and a plans feed for activities such as pickup basketball. Nest says it is piloting in Beacon and directs interested students to ask an RA for a TestFlight link.
