<p>What's the scoop with the laundry service? Is it worth the money?</p>
<p>Is the pound amount allowed for the laundry enough? Or do students routinely get charged for going over the amount?</p>
<p>Are the laundry facilities in the dorms adequate? Clean? Are there enough machines so at least on a Tuesday afternoon a students doesn't have to wait forever to process his laundry?</p>
<p>My mom thought that it was a good deal. It probably is a good deal, but I didn't sign up for it because I probably need to learn how to do the laundry at college. Hopefully my roomate got it.</p>
<p>The laundry room in Graham -Lees was not a problem for my son. He learned to do laundry a day or two before his freshman year began and he will tell you it is not a big deal. He did not have any trouble with misplaced or disappearing clothing in the laundry room. </p>
<p>I thought the cost for laundry service was pricey. It seems I figured it would run somewhere around $20 week, when you looked at the calendar and factored the weeks the students are gone and hauling their laundry home. </p>
<p>Son works out and churns out sweaty clothes on a regular basis. Plus he likes his "polo" shirts to look neat and not wrinkled. So he washed a couple of times a week- especially for his smelly workout clothes and Underarmour. He'd pull his polo shirts out of the washer and hang to dry in his room from the pipes in the ceiling. </p>
<p>We were happy to pay for University Cleaners to wash and iron his dress shirts and khakis as needed, which he would have done anyway with the laundry service. Laundry service does not include ironing, as I recall. Just wash, dry, fold. Someone correct me if I am wrong about that.</p>
<p>Its not difficult to learn how to do the laundry on your own. Plus, would you want a stranger to handle your dirty personal items??</p>
<p>University cleaners is way overpriced and misplaces your laundry way too often, or gives you other peoples stuff. A bunch of people I know who use it refuse to give them any expensive clothes for that reason. And if you're going to be washing anything, save yourself a bunch of money and just do it all yourself, its not that hard and laundry rooms usually arent that crowded</p>
<p>Just my $.02. </p>
<p>S used some graduation $ to buy this service for himself and loved it. Everything was returned on time, folded neatly, eliminating need for ironing. No extra charges or return crises. They handled his "thoroughly in need of deep cleaning" :) athletic attire well. He was not one of the fortunate ones to have pipes to hang his drying laundry in his tiny GL single, so he was grateful to have things "ready to wear" in time for the weekends. Although he can do his own laundry, and did so on occasion (eg, school breaks when he stayed on campus), he greatly appreciated this convenience and felt his money was well-spent.</p>
<p>I have a question about the bathrooms at WLU. Are the showers like YMCA style or does each have private stalls?</p>
<p>They're private... nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>I don't know about the laundry service, but at my friend's school they have a system called e-Suds... <a href="http://www.esuds.net%5B/url%5D">www.esuds.net</a></p>
<p>It is awesome... you can check the availability of washers and dryers online. You can choose to have email notification when a washer or dryer becomes available. Or when your wash/dry cycle is complete. You can even set it up so that a text message is sent to your cell phone.</p>
<p>i always did my own laundry, and i actually often hung out in the laundry room to do homework. it was nice because it was generally pretty quiet, but people would come in often enough to distract you when you needed it.</p>
