lol- that was my room. It's near the stairs, facing the front of the building (so not the sea). It's fine for one person size-wise, but for two (as I had) it's a little small compared to some of the palatial surroundings up on C corridor. To its advantage it's as good as opposite one of the B corridor kitchens and the toilets/showers, as well as being near the sneaky back staircase to the dining hall. Being at the front of the building you also get lots of early morning sun.
Only real problem with B13 is that it's quite isolated - you only have one immediate neighbour in your particular sub-section of the corridor, so if you're coming into 1st year you might want to see about a transfer to a room further down where more is going on (especially if you're without a room-mate), or else be prepared to have to work a little harder to go and meet people further down the corridor. Personally if I were warden, I wouldn't allocate it to 1st years, but with some initiative you could quite easily get to know the people beyond your immediate surroundings.
I might drop by sometime in freshers' week, I'd like to see the new resident of B13

How come all you Americans know exactly which room you have? I have confirmed accommodation as I already have exam results but they only sent me a contract to sign, not a room no.

It is Sallies not Sally's.

Actually, no it's not. Although "Sallies" is generally used, technically it is Sally's, as the abbreviation of Salvator is Sally and it is the Hall of St Salvator, hence the apostrophe denoting possession - Sally's. "Sallies", in fact, suggests two or more people named Sally.

Lastly, the correct - or traditional, at least - pronunciation of Salvator is sal-VAH-tor, Not -VAY-.
