The Department of Residence Life areas have several washer and dryer machines located in each of the residential areas. Each Court has a designated laundry room as well as each floor in the residence halls.
All machines are free to operate and no money is required! You just need to select your cycle and press start. As the laundry is free there is no need to overload any machine in an attempt to save money.

Despite being able to set some thermostats lower than sixty (60) and higher than ninety (90) degrees, the AC will not be able to cool past 65 degrees and the Heat will not be able to go above 75 degrees. Temperatures of the apartments may go past these restrictions if the outside temperature is lower or higher than the settings.
Fire Safety is everyone’s responsibility on-campus. Knowing how to use your stove, oven, hood fan, etc can help prevent fires and fire alarms.
