How to Read Your Room Number
There's a lot of information packed into your room number! When you select your room on-campus, you'll get a room number that tells you the building, the floor, the room and even the bed you'll be sleeping in. Here's how to read your room number.

{{ roomInSuite }}{{ bedNumber }}
Normally, this lowercase letter "{{ bedNumber }}" at the end of a room number tells you which bed is yours in the room, but since you have a single room with only one bed (instead of a double or a suite), you can ignore it.
In other buildings, this lowercase letter at the end of a room number tells you which bed is yours in the room, but since Northern View apartments are unfurnished, you can ignore this.
Even your bed gets a letter. This lowercase letter "{{ bedNumber }}" means that you have the bed {{ bedLocation }} when you walk into your room, and the set of furniture on that side of the room is yours.
Your roommate has the other bed and other set of furniture. If you have a buyout room, both sets of furniture are yours and you don't have a roommate.
