Room numbers! Dorm arangement.

[Slift]

Okay. So, continuing from the C-box.

Four (And maybe more as i write this) possibilities for how the dorms are structured exist as far as i've figured so far.

First is simply that the ground floor houses rooms '0'-99 (100 total rooms) and then floor one has 100-200. This of course means that simply going 'Room 2XX is on floor two' is wrong. Considering 200 is on the First floor. Simple. Just needs to be pointed out.

Second is that the first floor actually has rooms 1-100 and floor one has 101-201, the second has 202-302, the third has 303-403. This means that Juno in room 506 is actually the 'second' room on floor five.

Third is that the first two floors are wider than the rest for structural stability. This'd have a ground floor, floor one with 1 to 149, floor two having 150-299.

Fourth is that there are actually 99 rooms on each floor. 1-99, 100-199. 200-299 and so on. < --- Fourth being the simplest.

Keeping in mind that there might be other 'rooms' like common rooms and so on on the floors, the rooms being described are of course the dorm rooms.

Ultimately though... All of this are contradictory to the Tower's description...

'Floors two through ten: rooms for the female students'

With the established floors and rooms so far... This is impossible unless there is a modification of the third theory for the floors, meaning there's more than 100 on each floor, but that in end messes up the numbers too. (Eg, room 414 of Kuri's character CANNOT be located on the fourth floor, in all likeliness, 400~450 reside on the THIRD flood. Messing up Evelyn's profile.) Unless the Second and Third floors actually house rooms 1-399, going back to the third theory.

Tl;dr Cone shaped base, rooms 1-199 on floor two, rooms 200-399 on floor three, resumes a one hundred room as of floor four upwards.

So... Which is it?

Maybe you are thinking too much. Maybe there are no dorm rooms 1-100 and the count starts off with 200. Maybe the ground floor is just a lobby with restaurants and places to wash clothes and buy food. Maybe some floors have more rooms than others. Maybe the first floor only has 10 to 25 rooms and the second floor then has the hundreds of rooms because it's easier to make generic bedrooms. Maybe the higher floors have better and larger rooms for people willing to pay more for a fancy one and therefore have less rooms than other floors. Maybe the rooms start off with whatever floor you are on and it doesn't matter if the count goes to hundred before the next hundred starts on the next floor.

I picture the east towers being connected to the west towers in the lobby by two different staircases leading up and they lead to separate 2nd floors in which the different rooms are located. The rooms start off with 200 because of the second floor. It makes things nice and simple.

Did you know that some hotels skip the 13th floor and go straight to the 14th starting with 1400? A tower on my college campus skips the 3rd floor...so there's extra climbing if you want to go higher.

[Slift]

Hmm. Maybe. But i don't see the point in removing living space from this 'world's' gifted youth as such.

I did go into detail how the most likely concept is that floors two and three (As given by the actual sub forum's descriptions) are more likely larger with 199 rooms each.

I pictured T'zenshin as a hexagonal three story 'complex' kinda like the insides of the FF 8 Gardens. Class rooms, Garage, Offices and other (With the staff's 'home' area too) in the 'main' building with the two nine story towers coming off at 11 and 1 o'clock.

Of course the whole 'Windows' thing comes into play... it's 2012, holograms...

I'm assuming the rooms have an on suite bathroom and shower/bath combo as well. Have to wait for Kyerin on the final 'what is what' considering it his his creation.

[Kyerin]

Wow, you put a lot of thought into this. Lemme see if I can clarify it all...

At hotels, say you get a room on the 3rd floor. The rooms there are labeled from room 300 to room... let's say 340. 41 rooms on the third floor. Now, if you go up to the fourth floor, would the first room be 341? No, it's room 400.

This is the same strategy used for numbering the rooms in T'zenshin. The room number is broken really into two parts: the floor number, and the number of the room on that floor. The floor number is the first digit (or first two, for those on the tenth floor), while the last two digits tell the specific room. So, the first room on each floor is the floor number followed by two zeros (200, 300, 400, etc.).

This allows up to 100 rooms on a floor (though more likely, considering that there won't be 100 characters living on one floor, we'll cap at, say, 20 rooms a floor, and expand if we managed to go over that).

The first floor... well, I guess that certain rooms would have numbers like this, but there's no real set numbering for them, such as all laundry rooms being 102-105, etc.

As for the the status of each room... considering that it's a fancy institute, each room has a desk for each student living in it, a bed, current day utilities (television, phone, internet, etc.), and a personal bathroom, which has a small bathtub/shower, sink, mirror, and toilet. For students that need them, there are specialiazed suites that have been modified for other needs (such as for a certain someone's robotic limb).

Any other clarifications?

[Nicolette]

Just for clarification, what our administrator is trying to say is:

• There are 20 rooms per floor, starting from floor two and up to floor nine
  
• The first floor is the lobby that consists of a couple of rooms made up for laundry, working out, and even a little store that acts sort of like a mini convenience store.
  
• As for the the status of each room... considering that it's a fancy institute, each room has a desk for each student living in it, a bed, current day utilities (television, phone, internet, etc.), and a personal bathroom, which has a small bathtub/shower, sink, mirror, and toilet. For students that need them, there are specialiazed suites that have been modified for other needs (such as for a certain someone's robotic limb).
  

If that does not satisfy your need for information on the matter, please inquire further so we can fully explain everything to avoid confusion....
(Or in simpler terms, ask and we will tell)

How does a double room work out? Where does the faculty live?

[Kyerin]

A double room is like a singles room, but bigger and with two of the basic furniture, such as beds, drawers, and desks.

As for the faculty, they live in small apartments or purchase houses on the island, preferably near the campus. The school help cover their living expenses as part of their salary.

That clears it up. It was just niggling about in the back of my head as to how it worked. ;D
