Where will you be living this year? Let's find out
You will receive your room number just before arriving to halls. This is when you'll find out exactly where you'll be living in your Hall.
On arrival, our hall reception teams will be able to help point you in the right direction when checking in. In the meantime, you can get more of an understanding of what your room number means here...
- The letter at the start of your room number is your core.
- The first number is the floor you are on; the number 1 would be first floor etc. Lower floors use letters - G being ground floor, LG being Lower Ground Floor.
- The final three digits of your room number show your cluster flat and room number in the cluster flat. For example, A1.303 is Core A, Floor 1, Cluster flat 3, bedroom 03 and DG.105 in Block 2 is Core D, Ground Floor, Cluster flat 1, bedroom 05.
- The letter at the start of your room number is your Block.
- The first number is the floor you are on; the number 1 would be first floor etc. Lower floors use letters - G being ground floor, LG being Lower Ground Floor.
- The last two numbers are your flat number and your room number within that flat.
For example, A132 is Block A, Floor 1, Flat 3, bedroom 2 and DG21 is Block D, Ground Floor, Flat 2, bedroom 1.
- The letter is your core / building.
- The first number is the floor you are on; the number 1 would be first floor etc. Lower floors use letters - G being ground floor, M being mezzanine and LG being lower ground floor.
