I got more detailed information about where we'd be living today from the International Relations Office, who has been really responsive and informative during our communications.
We will be staying in DK House Warabi during our time in Tokyo. It's in neighbouring Saitama and I'll be taking the train to the Omiya campus during the day. Warabi looks really nice- it's an air-conditioned single room with a shared bathroom and kitchen. There's also a common area, tatami room, and a laundry room. There's a dining room, but I think that's more for group activities because I was told we would be expected to cook our meals in the kitchen. Shibaura has cafeterias on all its campuses, so I don't think that's going to be a problem, and Warabi has listed a lot of restaurants and grocery stores in the area.
Internet-wise, you can either pay for internet in the room (I presume it's a wired connection and am bringing my LAN cable) or there is a computer with internet in the common area. My old pair of house shoes were getting dirty, so I got a new pair and will see if I want to rent bedding from Warabi (which is an option) or bring my own.
See Warabi's website for some really pretty pictures of the inside!
