Many professionals in Residence Life are looking for a good housing sign-up tool. Populi could be that if it included a method for students to self-select their room.
This could be done through a linked field in Forms. If the linked field could fill to the Room Plan, all the options that currently need to be selected one-by-one when adding a Room Plan could already be selected within the form when it was built. Additionally, rooms would need to be eliminated from the available options as they were chosen (through the form).
Personally, I wouldn't need to approve the room after it was selected. I would only add available rooms to the form and only assign the form to qualified students.
