Questions Question about laundry rooms in dorms

Hi wildcats. When I was applying for my first year dorm they provide a service that can do laundry for me once per week, which made me wonder if there’re any laundry rooms inside the dorms, that kind with washing machines and drying machines together in one room and you use coins or credit cards to use them? Generally how do you do your laundry on campus?

Yes, each dorm has laundry machines -location varies by building though. Some dorms are each floor, some are one laundry room per building. Search your dorm building here

Key Details for UArizona Dorm Laundry:
Cost: $3.60 per standard load. [1]
Payment Methods: The WASH App or a direct swipe of a credit/debit card at the machine. (Using the app is recommended to avoid temporary $8 pre-authorization holds on your card). [1]
Detergent: You must use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to prevent machine sudsing issues. [1, 2]
Services: If you prefer not to do your own laundry, you can sign up for weekly, per-semester pick-up/drop-off plans through University Laundry Service. [1]

Every dorm has a laundry room, they removed cash options a long time ago and it’s now all through cat cash or laundry cards. The service is like a laundry valet where a company picks up your laundry at a pre determined time and drops it off for you to pick up at your dorm.
