I guess I gave up on that anyway once I decided to go to a school in a city, without a campus.
Well... You probably did. I know in Oregon, the only urban college is full of weirdos, scenesters, foreigners and old people...
But back on subject, its the people, not the facility. As long as 40 college coeds live within earshot of eachother, the milieu will be rad. Hotels could be way cool. You may have less supervision...
Also, what kind of school are you going to? If its art school (these are usually in cities), then you DEFINITELY won't be having a "college" experience.
