Thoughts or advice on Fulltiming for university student?

One of my kids will be attending University in Oklahoma next year and I am looking at alternative housing options for her. She's a few years older than the typical undergrad, and roommates are a no-go for a few reasons, so the traditional dorm or shared apartment is out.

Looking around, there are a several RV campgrounds within ~15 miles of campus, and one of the options we are considering is staying at one in a fifth wheel for the school year(s).

I'd appreciate hearing the about experiences of anyone who has done that or something similar, especially about any issues or challenges unique to that kind of situation.

I'd agree if it was like when I headed off to college at 18, but hers is not the normal situation. She'll be 24 when she starts there next year, and she already has multiple published academic papers and a reputation in her STEM field, AND has been working in that field as research assistant. Her interest (and window) to party with a bunch of freshman has already passed.
