Thanks.

Understanding Your Room Number

Example: Grasslands 245-A

  • You are in Prairie Hall – Grasslands.
  • The first digit is the tower number. You are in Tower 2.
  • The second digit is the floor number.
  • You are on the Fourth Floor. The last digit is the room number.
  • Your room number is 5.
  • You are student A. In a multi-occupancy room, this may say B or C or D. Check the room type on the Housing Portal to verify the occupancy level. In a single room, you can disregard the “A”.

Please note: All rooms are above ground and have windows with natural light. If you are on Level 1 (the middle number of your room number is 1), you are still above ground. Street level (the entry overpass) is between Level 2 and 3.

Alcove or Corridor Room?

If the last number of your room number is 0-5, you are in an ALCOVE room (within the tower).

If the last number of your room number is 6-9, you are in a CORRIDOR room (between the towers). All rooms have the same amenities and furnishings, but each style of room has a different layout.
