<p>i assume there are washers and dryers in the dorms.</p>
<p>but how do i dry clothes that cannot be placed in the dryer? is there any "safe" clothing lines to hang my clothes? or any other alternatives?</p>
<p>Hmm, well you could hang it in your room. I've never seen people hang their clothes to dry, so I don't know if there would be other options regarding that.</p>
<p>Go to the dry cleaners.</p>
<p>where do u dry ur towel after a shower?</p>
<p>yeah, if I've got clothes that can't be put in the dryer, I just hang them in my closet. ...they dry, in a day or two...</p>
<p>...for the towel...there's a hanging rod outside the closet sliding door (at least in the unit dorms) and most people hang their towels from there</p>
<p>get a foldable clothes rack, IKEA has them. The wooden ones are good because wood absorbs water. Avoid putting all your dark clothes in the dryer, they fade prematurely.</p>
<p>any other options for drying clothes?
and, do most people leave their dorm rooms unlocked when they leave?</p>
<p>Well, it's different perhaps in Clark Kerr/Bowles/Stern/Foothill, but in the units, the doors automatically lock when they close...which provides for lots of fun locked-out situations. </p>
<p>If you're leaving, not locking your room (if you had a choice) is just stupid. Why even risk having your laptop stolen? Some people do leave their door open if they're just going to the bathroom or something or visiting a friend down the hall, but even then, I don't know how comfortable I would be (unless my roommate was in the room still)</p>
