Being away from home for the first time means one thing: doing laundry by yourself. There is no mother to help and I hadn’t learned how to do laundry until entering college. The price is $1.00 to wash and $.75 to dry. Be careful about finding one that works though, because the dryers can be shotty. And keep track of the time on the washer and dryer. Students have no problem taking the clothes out of the dryer if they need one. It is up to you if you want to sit in there with your clothes. A couple people do, but they don’t have the most comfy place to study. I think if you pay attention to the time, it is not bad to just come back and forward the laundry.

In Mark Twain, the Laundry room is downstairs in the basement. There is one room that takes just coins and another that takes student charge. I just use my ID because it is easier, but all of them also take coins. I choose to do laundry every week because it is easier to find a couple of washers rather than four. It seems to work out pretty well.
