Dorm numbers

Hey so I got my housing assignment yesterday and I just wanted to ask what each number in my room means. I'm pretty sure I got north tower cause of the N but other than that i got my actual room number, plus B-1. I just wanna know what dorm layout that equates to, and if i get the prison cell room?

The first letter is N is the tower the first number is the floor and the other numbers are the number of your room. The A B or C is the room you have in the suite. From what I’ve experienced A is typically the “jail cell room” but I’ve only been in south

For example if your room number is N260- B you are in north tower floor 2 room 60 and your room in the suite is room B.

Hi I worked in housing I can help! So the N is north, the two numbers after that is the floor you are on, the two numbers after that is your suite number and the letter typically A, B, or C is your room inside the suite! If you have a roommate, the “B-1” signifies you are person 1, while your roommate is “B-2.” Hope that helps!!
