<p>In the laundry rooms in the dorms, is detergent and fabric softner provided, or do we have to bring our own?</p>
<p>i've stayed in 4 different dorms over the years, and none of them provided laundry soap</p>
<p>you have to bring your own. You can pick them up in the superior grocery store in the university village (basically across the street)</p>
<p>And (in Birnkrant), how do you pay the machines? Do you have to use your USCard, or do you just bring in quarters, etc? Because I remember someone saying that you use a "card"...</p>
<p>There is a special card that you can get from the CSC when you move in. You will put money onto that and then use it for paying for laundry.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm making my final list of things to pick up at Target when I get to LA. lol</p>
