How many bed rooms and how did the actual sleeping work?
A "standard" 3-bedroom house would have 7-8 people in it per room (assuming you use the family room as a bedroom too) which means either bunk beds or wall to wall sleeping bags? Also 30 people sharing two bathrooms doesn't sound fun.

The house was sectioned off in to 3 areas. Mine had 6-7 people sharing 6 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. I'm not sure of the layouts in the other sections of the house. But the landlord had definitely divided the home in to as many small rooms as possible.
Boarding houses have become illegal, and their modern equivalent of micro apartments are in danger of becoming illegal [0].
To add a personal story, when I was college we had about 20-30 people living in a medium sized single family home. We were mostly students, but there were a couple of kids, and a grandmother too. Our neighbors hated us, and constantly tried to report us for overcrowding. However in our locality there was no cap on the number of residents, so long as conditions are sanitary and safe. But we'd have the zoning person come through frequently to ensure we didn't have things like too many ovens or broken bathrooms.
