    Are the washers and dryers coin-op? 'Cause that would suckkk. Also, do people steal laundry?

    I have never heard of anyone stealing laundry¡¡¡ anyway ...washer/dryers do not operate on coins...they do operate on prepaid cards.

    when i was at university I had a pre paid card for laundry. I think it was like 20 cents a load (Canadian)

    If you live in the Commons the washers and dryers are right in your individual apartments and you don't pay, its included in your rent. In Chatham there are a few laundry rooms on the complex grounds for you to use - you have to pay for a wash and dry there though.

    i think there might be a vending machine with laundry detergent stuff. I just bought a bottle and split it with roomies. If you're at vista or chatham and use the cards for your laundry it's 1$ a wash and 1$ to dry. I've never heard of laundry being stolen, but I always made sure I checked on it anyway so I could take it out as soon as it's done so someone else could use the machines. It was a pain to have your laundry ready to go but all the machines full of (finished!) laundry.

    Wow, if you have to pay for doing you laundry I hope I end up in the commons again! If not, and there's machines with finished laundry, I think I'd just take it out and start my own...

    oh goodness...if it's the much effort to wash my clothes I think I may be wearing dirty clothes for a while :S

    Fingers crossed for the commons!

    Or patterson, I'm sure patterson will have their own washers/dryers.
    I live at home, not on campus, so washing and drying is free for me!!
    If I end up not in commons/patterson, someone who does please be my friend so i can use your washer!

    I think it would be a bit of a pain carting your wasing over to commons... just pay the $2.

    I think people are more worried about their real clothes lol. But I can't see why someone would steal clothes of any kind so I don't think we have to worry...I hope. But I'd have no problem confronting someone if I saw them wearing my missing clothes lol ;)

    One time at work, someone stole a shirt that had my name on it. I was so angry. And someone else stole a girl's shoes once too. It's ridiculous.
    And maybe not stealing, necessarily, but like, taking my stuff out and putting their stuff in so they can save the buck.

    I can't see them doing that...yuck. Too messy haha. I hardly ever did laundry (well, I did it when I ran out of clean clothes, but I had plenty of clothes so it was ok.), so the money wasn't a big deal for me. It's a pain cause it seems like they're nickel and diming you every time you turn around but it's really not that bad (especially if you're used to paying for your laundry at uni or whatever).

    The money shouldn't really be a problem though. Because the machines where you have to pay is in the older complexes and the rent is cheaper there, so it shouldn't make much difference...
