This means that you're in Moulton, room 316 (so that's third floor), bed C (meaning you're in a triple room). From what's been said about Moulton, I think that bed C means that you're in the loft bed (top bunk, with your desk under your bed), but I'm not 100% positive.

It's just the side of the room that you're assigned to, but this probably varies depending on which res you're in. I was bed B in Brandon, so I was on the right side...

There are two beds on the ground in a double.

And yes, the "C" bed is the loft bed, and "A" and "B" are bunks in a triple. As I just mentioned in another thread, where you actually sleep may be negotiable with your roommates in consultation with your CA (since some people may be terrified of a top bunk or unable to reach it easily), but the location of your desk is more or less fixed, since your phone extension is tied to the letter you were assigned.

Hi
I just got my room assignments and I just wanted to ask a question.
I got my room number as BATESB 114 C. Does that mean I got a basement room? Do basement rooms have windows and do we need to bring our own microwave?

Yes, you are in the basement.

Alexandra, single and twin beds are the same size. All residence rooms have the same size bed.

3AA? Perhaps it's some sort of typo cause beds only have one letter attached to them

Whidden is two ground beds. Unless, you're in a triple then there's one ground bed and one bunk.
