<p>I’m tickled by the laundry discussion. So many passions on such a simple issue. We offered - my D turned us down. She’s frugal and likes doing her own laundry. Her stories about “laundry politics” and trying to get to the machines in her dorm first are hilarious. She’s laughing and it’s part of the culture in her dorm. I tell her we can dry clean some things at home during vacations. And since SW has free baggage, she hauls any leftover laundry to catch up.</p>
<p>On computers - code of culture says doors are often not locked. But she does have a drawer that she can lock for things like her passport, cash, etc. In general, girls are walking in and out borrowing clothes and bumming snacks and I hear it’s reciprocal.</p>
<p>As with all things - check the culture of your specific school for details.</p>
