<p>I received some information by the laundry services provided by Vandy housing. There are 3 different plans, 10 lb, 20 lb or 3 lb per week. It is ~ $900 per year. Laundry service provider has that it is pretty popular among freshmen. Anyone has any opinion about whether it is worth it or not?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Totally not worth it. Don’t know anyone who uses it. It’s very easy to do your own laundry in the Commons dorms. Just do it.</p>
<p>Is there a convenient dry cleaner close by the commons?</p>
<p>There are a fair number who use the service. More popular with girls, who don’t want to wash their sun dresses and what not in a regular machine. </p>
<p>The service is okay. Sometimes stuff comes back wrinkled. If money is no object, well, it can’t hurt… Saves you a couple hours of doing laundry each month, that’s about it… If you aren’t filthy rich, it’s not worth the money at all!</p>
<p>I’m a guy who works out like 4-5x a week so I produce a ton of laundry. Just checked my bill, paid less than $60 for washers/dryers. Add in the price of detergent/dry cleaning and my bill is still less than $100 for the semester.</p>
<p>There is a dry cleaner close to Commons, less than half a mile. Other option is send dry cleaning along with a friend who has the laundry service (plus some cash as they charge extra for dry cleaning).</p>
