3. I've also looked at a couple of the other colleges with dorms and they
are sort of pricey for what you get. UW-O ain't cheap, but it seems that
the other ones are further away, you get about the same features, but for
more money.

Did you look at Lawrence University in Appleton? Their doubles go for
$70/night, but it does have air conditioning. 2 rooms share 1 bathroom.
I stayed there in 2005. The only reason I haven't been back is because
someone in our EAA chapter had space in a house near the field. There's
nothing fancy since it's just a dorm room with a couple single beds,
dresser and desk, but it's better than a tent in the middle of a famous
Oshkosh thunderstorm. I'd suggest bringing a lamp and radio. There is a
common TV lounge area. Hiett Hall is a relatively new building there.

It is a drive but I stayed over at Ripon College. First the Good
things:
Breakfast. This isn't a little "motel" type breakfast. This is a full
blown meal.
Laundry. Free use of the washer and dryers. This came in very handy
since we made it into a Oshkosh / Mid American Baseball tour (lots of
dirty clothes).
Swimming Pool. Use of the swimming pool however it closed eariler than
I liked. By the time you got in, ate the pool was closed or soon to be
closed.
Now the bad:
No A/C. Get a room that is on the westside upstairs. Bring a fan.
A 20 minute drive. It was however pretty neat looking back West with
all the aircraft lined up for landing at Oshkosh.

If I had to do it again I would stay at Ripon or another University
that offered free shuttle service (save on parking and long walks back
to car).
