Laundry and Printers

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wellesley College

<p>Laundry:
1. They sent everyone a brochure about some sort of laundry service...does anyone actually do this? Is it worth it?
2. How much would you estimate you spend annually on laundry?</p>

<p>Printers:
1. Do people bring their own?
2. Do they have a printer in every hall/dorm, or are they only in the library?</p>

<p>Laundry:

  1. Some people use the laundry service – some people think it’s easier to send out their laundry and get it back a few days later… I think it’s worth it if you have lots of dry cleaning to do. I personally don’t feel the need to do it but everyone’s different.</p>

<ol>
<li>1 load of wash is $1 and 1 load of dry is $1. How much you spend depends on how often you do laundry… once a week, once every two weeks, once a semester…</li>
</ol>

<p>Printers:

  1. Yes!
  2. Yes there are printers in every residence hall in the computer rooms – generally 2 or 3 public computers and 1 public printer per residence hall.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you for answering!</p>

<p>Do you need to pay a fee to use the public computers in the computer rooms/residence halls?</p>

5

<p>No fees – you can use all the computers anywhere for free.</p>

<p>Printing is slightly different. Right now black and white is free and you have to pay for color printing (academic or otherwise) – i think it’s something around 25 cents per page.</p>

<p>thanks!
also, not really related but do the rooms have safes where you can store valuables? or do you need to bring your own?</p>

<p>Laundry:

  1. I’ve seen the bags at bells desks. Clearly people use it, but judging by the number of bags, it’s a rather large minority.
  2. <$50</p>

<p>Printers:</p>

<ol>
<li> Yes. And then they never use them.</li>
<li>There are printers in all the halls, as well as every computer lab.</li>
</ol>

<p>Safes.
No. I’ve never heard of any dorm that does. That’s a hotel room thing.</p>

<p>I use my printer all the time – it’s really convenient to just print a few pages when I have to. Granted for longer readings and whatnot, I definitely use the school’s printers since then I don’t have to pay for ink or paper…</p>

<p>Part of the college experience is to do your own laundry, and I thought the service was kind of expensive, so I did my own laundry. I never really had problems, just make sure you always have quarters on hand.</p>

<p>There should be a public printer in every dorm, at least there was one in Stone Davis that I know of. I brought my own printer, I found this to be much more convenient.</p>

<p>Also, there are quarter machines for laundry in the campus center and in the basement of Bates Res Hall. The campus center machine accepts $1, $5, and $10s. The one in Bates only accepts $1s.</p>
