Default Oshkosh Accommodations?

I stayed at Lawrence University in Appleton in 2005.
http://www.lawrence.edu/community/eaa.Shtml The price for that wasn't
bad. They get $75/night for a single with private bath and $70/night for
a double with semi-private bath. TV is in the common lounge on each
floor though. It is air conditioned.

If you can get a group together, renting a private house may be a good
idea. I've got 6 people, and the house we get is $300/night, so it's
$50/night per person. It's less than 4 miles from the front gate. The
family goes on vacation for the week, and the place is ours.

Of course the farther away you drive, the less the gouge rate is.
Perhaps looking out west on Rte. 21 to Wautoma or 91 to Berlin would
have something more reasonable.

Here's the good newsˇK I'm asking about the 2008 show.

I'm just wondering if anyone has advice on accommodations. I found the U
of W dorm rooms interesting at $50/night except there's no air
conditioning. I've had people tell me they can get pretty hot in some
years, (I donˇ¦t do hot). I guess they've got some new AC rooms for $75/
night.

In checking motels in Oshkosh and Appleton they seem to be in full on gouge
mode upping the rates from $100 to $200 during the show.

A perfect world for me would be $100 (or less), air-conditioning, a TV and
a less than 30 minute drive to the show.

Am I dreaming?

Thanks, that's a good option... it's beginning to look like a there will
be a pretty good sized group.
