If you live in a dorm or other student housing, there’s a good chance you’ll have access to a shared laundry room. To operate the machines, you’ll need either quarters or a laundry card that you can reload with cash. Bring your own supplies, such as a laundry basket, detergent, and dryer sheets (which reduce static and give your clothes a nice smell). Since the laundry room is shared, keep track of when your clothes are done so they don’t sit in the washer or dryer and prevent other students from using them!
