Would you like to see a mansion that starts off a bit rustic, requires the characters to fix it up, and is not as nice as you'd probably expect (or like) it to be. In spite of fixing it up, some doors remain mysteriously locked and some passageways are not able to be explored. As game storyline progresses, characters would eventually gain access to some of these previously locked areas, discovering the secrets of the enigmatic Smash mansion.
Alternatively, characters could just have a new, shiny mansion to live in. Bring your stuffed animals and everything else you need or want. But there would still be locked doors, corridors, and other mysteries that could be solved and accessed over time.
The movement of the academy's network to the island is also something to talk about. In the academy, we have the technology needed for having a network community. Such a luxury might not be available right off to bat by moving to the island in the sky. What would you do if there's no network at all? Or we can just say the mansion has access to wifi and everyone still can use the network as they have been. (Maybe certain events and circumstances temporarily knock it out as applicable.) Or we can use magical devices constructed by Crazy Hand to keep in contact (meaning they could be partially unreliable).
How about housing arrangements? Shared rooms? Single rooms? "Team" floors? Themed floors? Shared chores? Robots or magic handwaving that takes care of housekeeping?
