Room number explained

Our halls are all numbered by flats. So when you get your keys, it will say, for example, "45D" - This is your flat number + the letter of your room within your flat. The only exceptions to this is Dawson Hall, where you'll get a three-digit number, with the first number denoting the floor the room is on, but then the room is also numbered on the floor with the same 3 numbers e.g. 104.
