<p>Has anybody had experience with the university run laundry service? Would have loved having this when I was in college!</p>

<p>I believe CC member jc40 used this service for her DD her first year. You can find her in this thread. Send her a PM and I’m sure she’d be happy to let you know what her experience was.</p>
<p>Both my daughter and her roommate utilized it. We bought a package her first year (2010). If I recall, it was ~$850 for the year. The company has a couple of times when they pick up/drop-off, so students can choose what fits their schedule. (They picked up right in front of her dorm, so it was convenient.) They’ll give the students a bag. They returned the clothing folded and shrinkwrapped. When we tried to estimate how much she’d be spending on the machines, the price really wasn’t too terribly unreasonable. We paid for this indulgence because we felt it would help with the first year transition and since she’s an athlete/pre-med/sorority/etc. her time is very limited. They offer dry-cleaning packages separately from the laundry package. We utilized this as well.</p>
