Good Afternoon New Panthers,
As
summer quickly passes through and you all continue to receive your room assignments, I am
sure you are wondering how to actually decode them! Once you log onto your
myhousing@uwm account, scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Under the “2014-2015 Residence Hall Academic Year Contract“ heading, you
should see a blue link with letters and numbers. This blue link is your
assignment and if you click on that link, it will bring up a new page with
your roommates and suitemates names. The person with the exact same room letter
as you is your roommate and those listed with different room numbers are your
suitemates.
Room assignments for
Sandburg residents would look something like this “N2310A”. The letter N could
be replaced with S, W or E just depending on the tower you were assigned to.
The first two numbers would tell you what floor in Sandburg your room is on.
For “N2310A”, the assigned room would be located on the 23
rd floor
of north tower. The third and fourth numbers tell you what suite you were
assigned. For “N2310A”, the assigned suite is 10 on the 23
rd
floor of north tower. Finally the letter at the end of your assignment is your
assigned room. For “N2310A”, the assigned room is room A in suite 10 on the 23
rd
floor in North tower.
If you were
assigned to Sandburg, your room assignment should be similar for all of the
towers.
Room assignments for
Cambridge Commons residents would look something like “CC232B”. The CC in your room assignment
lets you know that you were placed in Cambridge Commons. For “CC232B”, the
numbers tell you what suite you are assigned to. These numbers also dictate
what floor in Cambridge your room is on. For “CC232B”, your assigned room is on
the 2
nd floor in suite 232. Finally, the letter at the end of your
assignment is your assigned room. For “CC232B”, your assigned room would be B
in suite 232 on the 2
nd floor of Cambridge Commons.
Room assignments for
RiverView residents would look something like “RV308A”.
The RV in your room assignments lets you know
that you were placed in RiverView. For “RV308A”, the numbers tell you what
suite you are assigned to. These numbers also dictate what floor in RiverView
your room is on. For “RV308A”, your assigned room is on the 3rd floor in suite 308. Finally, the letter at the end of your assignment is your
assigned room. For “RV308A”, your assigned room is the A room in suite 308 on the 3rd floor of RiverView.
After you receive your room assignment, check out
furniture measurements here, or recaps of
Sandburg,
RiverView and
Cambridge. Finally, you can also check out specific room dimensions of
Sandburg,
RiverView and
Cambridge!
Hope this helps and if you have any questions about room assignments please call the University Housing office or ask in the comments below!
Have a Pantheriffic day,

RA. What does it
stand for? Resident Assistant, also
known as your new best friend. They are
students just like you. They go to
class, do their homework, and hangout with friends. They live next door or just down the hall
from you. A RA is available to you 24
hours a day (but don’t wake them up if you don’t have to.) They plan events as a chance for you to have
fun and meet new people. They are also
there during the not so happy times. If
you want a room switch, need a shoulder to cry on, need advice about a class,
or are struggling at adjusting to living with your new roommate your RA is your
go to kind of pal. They are available to
help you. In addition, to helping you
there are there to keep you safe.
Last year I was a RA in RiverView. I had the opportunity to meet and get to know
about 48 residents. I was there through
the tears and the fights, the smiles and laughter, but most importantly the
memories. I loved having the opportunity
to help my residents and watch them grow.
A resident assistant wants you to succeed, learn, and
grow. Don’t be afraid to ask them the
“silliest” question or to share one of your biggest fears. They aren’t there to get you in trouble, just
to help create a wonderful experience in college that you’ll never forget.
