"It could work great so long as no other people move in." - Oh, wait.
The third person showed up this afternoon. Her key goes to my side of the apartment and ResLife won't let her swap with the person on the other side who supposedly isn't moving in. They're locked out from making any changes to the database (aside from moving people into empties, of which there are none) until September 14th. This is supposedly a "feature".
ETA: I've discovered that the housing application fee has a similar legal standing to the deposit on a private apartment. The prospective resident has paid to reserve the space for the first few weeks of the term, even if they decide not to move into it. So there may be several empty units, but ResLife is not legally permitted to swap people around until the deposit expires.
In the mean time, the DRC has helped me to arrange for a quiet place to study, so I can be a little less stressy about those first few weeks.
