The Dilemma Of Laundry

I hate doing laundry. To make the laundry experience even more excruciating, our school does not have enough washers or dryers to accommodate all the students that live on campus. It is rather annoying to carry my clothes downstairs to the laundry room to find out that there are no open washers.

Our school needs to increase the number of washers and dryers to allow more students to get laundry done at one time. I am currently sitting in Coburg’s laundry room, where there is one washer open for five people’s laundry. I came down here, after going to my own laundry room to find that one of the 3 washers is out of order and the other two are being occupied.

Another annoyance is once my clothes have been washed; there are no open dryers available. What am I suppose to do with a pile of wet clothing? I can’t leave them sitting around. If I put them back in the washer, I would be holding up a washer for another student.

By increasing the number of washers and dryers in our school, more people would be able to do laundry. The problem of waiting for a washer or a dryer would be eliminated, thus making the laundry experience less excruciating. I would not longer have to carry my laundry across campus looking for open washers.

  1. I agree. All the dorms could use more washers and dryers.

  2. I definitely agree with you Birgitta. I think the laundry situation here at CUW is ridiculous. The washing machine in wartburg has been "out of order" for over a month. Carrying all of my laundry to coburg is a pain- literally: my biceps are sore today. Even though I love the fact that it is free, it is still a huge chore every week.

  3. This is very true. Living in Coburg, I realize that many students are carrying their laundry to Coburg. This must be a huge pain to carry laundry all this way. If each resident hall had more than a couple washers and dryers the stress from walking, disappointment, and waiting would be relieved.
