Works for us
My wife and I have been staying in the UWO dorms for about 30 years. I think we've been in every one of the buildings, but most recently in Scott. It's nothing special, just a dorm room with the bathroom down the hall (sometimes downstairs). But it is convenient, secure, dry, and most importantly my wife gets a hot shower every morning!
Like I said we've been doing this a long time, so we pretty well have it down to a science. My wife even has an Oshkosh checklist, so packing is just a matter of following the checklist.
It may not be for everyone, but it has worked well for us.
Good luck!
